your dealer and from most RV supply
stores. Follow directions on the con-

Winterization Valve
Your coach is equipped with a manually
operated water line winterization system for
your convenience in winterizing fresh water
lines.
The system features a diverter valve and
draw tube in-line between the tank and water
pump, and uses the water pump to draw non-
toxic RV water system antifreeze into the water
lines. This feature is located in the water pump
compartment.
To Fill Lines with RV Water Line Antifreeze:
• Turn water heater by-pass valve to by-pass
position.
• Remove and save the protective cap from the
end of the draw tube (clear vinyl hose).
• Insert the end of the suction tube into a pail
or other container with 2 to 3 gallons of non-
toxic RV antifreeze solution.
• Turn the valve handles to the winterize posi-
tions shown on the valve panel.
• Turn a water pump switch on.
• Open each cold water faucet handle in the
coach one at a time until antifreeze solution
just begins to flow from the faucet, then
close.
When Done Adding RV Antifreeze:
• Turn water pump switch off.
• Turn the diverter valve handle so it points to
normal position shown on the panel.
• Replace the protective cap onto the end of
the draw tube to keep out insects and debris
when not in use.
WASHER/DRYER WINTERIZING
1. Turn off the hot and cold water faucets to the
machine and disconnect the hoses. (Tie or
wire up the hoses to the faucets to keep them
from dropping down behind the machine.)
Leave by-pass valve handle in NOR-
MAL FLOW position if draining
water and blowing out water lines.
Place in BYPASS position ONLY
when using antifreeze solution in
water lines.
