4. Turn Winterization Valve 2 to the “Winterize”
position.
5. Remove and save the protective cap from the
end of the antifreeze siphon tube (which
connects to Winterization Valve 2). Insert the
end of the siphon tube into a pail or other
container with 2 to 5 gallons of non-toxic RV
antifreeze solution.

NOTE: Ensure that all drain valves are
CLOSED before pumping RV antifreeze
into the water system.

knob in the coach – one at a time each in turn
until antifreeze solution just begins to flow
from the faucet, then close.
Do not forget exterior shower/wash station
knobs (if equipped).

switch, if your coach is equipped with an
electric flush toilet) and hold until antifreeze
begins flowing into the toilet.
Leave small amount of antifreeze that remains
in the bowl.

10. Turn the Winterization Valve 2 to “Normal”.
This will stop the flow from the antifreeze
siphon tube and revert the tank line flow to the
water pump.
11. Replace the protective cap onto the end of the
antifreeze siphon tube to keep out insects and
debris when not in use.
