STORAGE AND WINTERIZING
Forthisreasonitisadvisabletofollowthe
recommendation(s)belowiftheboileristobestoredin
afreezingenvironmentorforlongperiodsoftime.Atthe
startofthewinterseasonorbeforetravelingtoalocation
wherefreezingconditionsarelikely,theboilermustbe
winterized.Winterizationcanbeaccomplishedusingone
ofthetwocommonmethodsofwinterizationusedforRV
watersystems:
• Draintheboiler,referto“Drainingtheboilerusingthe
combinedsafety/drainvalve:”onpage6.
• Antifreezemethod:Followtherecommendationsof
theRecreationalVehiclemanufacturerandllthe
watersystemwithanon-toxicantifreeze.
Also:
• Turnoffthemainpowerfortheboiler.Themain
powershouldalwaysbeswitchedoffwhenthevehi-
cleisnotbeingused.
• TurnOFFLPGassupplytank.
• Whenwashingthevehicle,takecarenottogetwater
inthevent.
Makesurethattheantifreezeowsfromeachtaptocom-
pletetheprocess.
MAINTAINING THE HEATING SYSTEM
Repairs shall be performed by a qualied service
technician. Verify proper operation after servicing.
LP GAS CONNECTIONS AND HOSES
Rubberhosehasapropensitytodryoutandcrack,and
thereforeLPGashosesmustbechangedaccordingto
nationalregulations,aminimumofonceevery5years.
Checkthedatestamponthehose.
GLYCOL HEATING FLUID
Regularlychecktheheatingsystemuidlevelinthe
expansiontank.Thetankhasmarkingsonthesideto
indicatethemaximumandminimumlevelfortheuid
(SeeFigure7).Theuidlevelshouldbeabout0.5inches
(1cm)abovetheminimumindicatorinacoldtank.Please
seedirectionsbelowforllingtheheatingsystem.
Theheatingsystemmustbelledwithamixtureofwater
andglycol.Useonlyhighqualityready-mixedglycol(with
inhibitor)intendedforuseinaluminumheatingsystems.
TheglycolmustcarrythelabelGRAS(generallyrecog-
nizedassafe).PleasecontactAldeforalistofapproved
glycolsuppliers.
Ifyouareusingconcentratedglycol,themixtureshould
consistof60%distilledwaterand40%glycol.Iftheheat-
ingsystemwillbeexposedtotemperaturesbelow-15°F
(-25°C)theglycolcontentmustbeincreased,butnotto
morethan50%.
Anyvesselsusedfortheglycolmustbespotlesslyclean,
andthepipesintheheatingsystemmustbefreeofcon-
tamination.Thiswillpreventthegrowthofbacteriainthe
system.
CAUTION

ATTENTION
VOORZICHTIG
Theboileranditsplumbingcomponentsshouldalways
bedrainedoffreshwaterwhenthereisariskoffreezing
