Start-Up and Disinfection
Before beginning the start-up and disinfection procedures, make sure the ALTO is level.

indicator light must be off.
2. Drain antifreeze from potable water tank by opening the exterior valve (photo E-1.1)
located behind the axle, between the wheel and the chassis left side (or near the waste
water valves on some models). When the tank is empty, close the valve.
3. Pour bleach in the potable water tank and completely fill the tank with water (60 ml for
ALTO 17xx, and 100 ml for ALTO s 21 and 24). (See DISINFECTION section).
