SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
WINTERIZING PROCEDURE
Certain areas of your water system require
additional attention and disconnecting or
blowing out these lines may be required. Be sure
all water is drained from the system.
We recommend performing Step 1 “Blow
Out Procedure” and Step 2 “Antifreeze Fill
Procedure” to properly protect the system.
Step 1 – Blow Out Procedure
(Drain and purge waterlines using
compressed air)
NOTE: The Water Heater Bypass valve must be
in the NORMAL FLOW position if
draining water and blowing out
waterlines.
1.
Level the Motorhome.
If the motorhome is
not level, there may be “low points” in
waterlines that can trap water in the lines and
prevent it from draining properly.
2.
Drain Water Heater.
• Turn OFF the Heating System by using the
control panel (located near the monitor
panel).
• Open the Water Heater Drain (Yellow)
Valve.
NOTE: To make sure that all water drains
properly from the water container, place
a big enough vessel underneath the
drainage socket of the drain valve (>2.64
gallons (10 liters)).
3. Remove filter on city fill inlet.
4. Remove the filter canister from the Cold
Water Filtration System under the galley sink
and discard the filter cartridge. After
emptying the canister, set aside.
CAUTION
Leave bypass valve handle in NORMAL
FLOW position if draining water and
blowing out waterlines. Place in BYPASS
position ONLY when using antifreeze
solution in waterlines.
CAUTION
Hot water can escape from tank causing
injury. Operate drain valve only when the
tank water is cold.
