WINTERIZING
THE WATER SYSTEM
If
the
motor home
is
to
be stored
in
temperatures be-
low freezing,
the
fresh water and waste systems should
both be winterized
as
follows:
1. Drain fresh water
tank
by
opening water
tank
drain on exterior sidewall spigot.
2.
Open
the
drain faucets on HOT and CO
LD
wa-
ter
pipes. (These are located
under
the
floor
in
the
galley area. On
"P"
and"
R"
rear-bath mod-
els,
the
faucets are located above
the
floor
in
the
lavy cabinet and drain through
the
flooL)
After
all
water has been drained from
the
water
pipes,
close faucets.
3.
Turn pump ON. Open a cold
water
faucet.
When flow
of
water has
stopped,
turn
pump
OFF.
4. Drain water heater by opening drain plug
at
bot-
tom of heater and safety valve. Also,
open
the
hot
water faucets.
5. Drain waste
water
system
by
following normal
procedure
for
emptying holding
tank
(refer
to
paragrapli
on
Waste Water Draining).
6.
Place a minimum
of
1-1/2 gallons
of
approved
non-toxic antifreeze solution
for
plastic piping,
drains, and traps in water
tank.
Open all cold
water faucets,
turn
water
pump
ON,
and
operate
until
the
tank
has emptied solution
into
system.
7.
Pour one-half
cup
of
this
solution
into
each
drain
to
ensure
that
traps are
protected.
Have
automotive radiator solution
tested
to
ensure
that
vehicle
is
well' protected
to
any anticipated freezing level,
as
recommended
in
Chassis Operator's Manual.
The above
is
a basic procedure designed
to
be
performed
by
the
Motor Home Owner.
In
areas
of
extreme
cold
extra freeze protection can be
obtained
by scheduling
a
motor
home dealer
to
perform this
winterization
for
you.
He
has specialized
equipment
that
will
enable
him
to blow the water and drain lines clear.
