NOTE:
If your water heater plumbing system is equipped with a
bypass kit, use it to close off the water heater, drain it
completely and leave it closed (in the bypass position). If
you are introducing antifreeze into the system, be aware
that it can be very corrosive to the anode rod causing
premature failure and leaving heavy sediment in the tank
(if so equipped).
Water Odor
Odor from the water is not a warranty or service issue.
Many water supplies contain enough sulphur to produce
a ‘rotten egg’ odor. It is not harmful, only unpleasant. The
solution is to chlorinate the water. You may add about 6
ounces of common household liquid bleach per 10 gal-
lons of water in the tank.
Run the chlorinated water throughout the system, open-
ing each faucet one at a time until you smell the chlorine.
Do not operate the water system for a couple hours,
allowing the chlorine to take care of the problem; how-
ever, then you must remove the chlorine by flushing the
system with fresh water. You may need to do this more
than once. If this process does not remove the smell
from the water, you may need to replace the anode rod.
You may also consider adding a filtering system as a
preventive measure.
Sanitization

er’s manual or on-line at www.forestriverinc.com.
Turn Off Water Heater

3. Turn off propane supply.
4. If vehicle is to be stored or heater is going to be
turned off while subject to freezing temperatures,
drain the water heater.
Storage And Draining
If your RV will be stored during winter months, drain the
water heater to prevent damage from freezing.
1. Turn off electrical power to water heater either at
the switch or the breaker.
2. Shut off propane supply to water heater.
3. Turn off water pump on main water system.
4. Open both hot and cold water faucets.

Entertainment/Electrical
Antennas
The optional roof-mounted antenna control is located in
the ceiling of the lounge/kitchen area and/or in the bed-
room. The antenna can only be used when the recre-
ational vehicle is parked.
To Raise The Antenna
Check your parking location for obstructions before rais-
ing the antenna. Also be sure the power booster switch
is in the on position.
1. Crank the handle (if applicable) in the UP direction
as indicated by the arrow on the large control knob.
2. Continue to rotate the handle until you feel resis-
tance (about 13 turns).
3. Do not force the handle beyond the point that resis-
tance is felt.
4. When the antenna is up, fine tune the signal by
grasping the large rotating knob, pulling it slightly
down and turning it until the clearest picture and
sound are available.
