256 | Section 6 Water Systems ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Monarch SE 2004
WARNING: Use only specifically designed, non-toxic, FDA Approved
RV antifreeze for potable water systems. NEVER use Automobile
engine antifreeze. If ingested, antifreeze can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING: It is recommended that a qualified RV service
technician familiar with motorhomes, such as an authorized dealer,
perform the winterizing procedure.
NOTE: Some items such as icemakers, washer/dryers and dishwashers
require special instructions, which can be found in each respective
manual.
NOTE: Clean up any spilled antifreeze immediately. It can stain
permanently.
CAUTION: Turn off water heater and let it cool before starting any
winterizing procedure. Hot water can scald resulting in burn injuries.
To De-Winterize, drain and fill the fresh tank with water. Connect the power
supply line for the water pump. Install drain plug to water heater and switch by-
pass valve to Normal Flow. Operate all faucets, one at a time, until clear water is
present.
CAUTION: Discard the first two trays of ice from the icemaker. They
may contain contaminants.
