JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8-PLUMBING SYSTEMS
De-winterizing the Dishwasher: Run an empty wash cycle before camping season begins.
When you are finished adding RV antifreeze:
1. Turn the water pump OFF.
Remove hose & container from the City Water Fill inlet. Put the cap back on the City
Water Fill inlet. Leave the valves in WINTERIZE position.
2. Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into any/all drain P traps. (sinks, & bathtub)
3. To prevent staining, wipe the RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub), toilet,
washing machine tub, & dishwasher tub using a soft, dry cloth.
If needed, contact your RV dealer for assistance.
WINTERIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM (WITH 6 IN 1 UTILITY
CENTER)
Preparing your RV for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and
Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water heater to
freeze.
Use ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
The recreation vehicle should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when the
recreation vehicle will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C).
Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of the Towable Limited
Warranty.
NOTE: The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing. It is
recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during the winterization process
particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing system. Ensure the water
heater is bypassed and that (Refer to Water Heater Bypass) antifreeze is kept out of the
water heater.
There are two methods of winterizing your recreation vehicle based upon your model.
Please read, and understand the following instructions before beginning.
Air pressure method:
This method will utilize an air hose to blow excess water from the water lines.
NOTE: Recommended pressure is 40 PSI, exceeding this pressure may rupture water
line couplings and void your warranty.
WARNING
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze (methanol)
are poisonous. Never use these products in your fresh water system. These products
are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
CAUTION
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the air pressure
method alone is not adequate, winterizing with RV antifreeze is the proper method to
use.
