Winterizing With Antifreeze Method; When You Are Done Adding Rv Antifreeze; Black/Grey Water System - Jayco 2016 White Hawk Owner's Manual

JAYCO TOWABLE
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the closed
position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low point drain could
potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have questions, consult
with your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is the preferred method of winterization.

Winterizing with Antifreeze Method:

It may be easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
NOTE: Antifreeze should never enter the water heater, RV water filter, refrigerator,
refrigerator water filter, or fresh water tank.
1. Turn water heater power OFF. Turn water heater gas valve (if so equipped) OFF
(outside of the RV).
2. Bypass the water heater. Open valves A and B on the water heater, valve C should be
closed (refer to water heater bypass diagram).
3. Level the RV and drain the fresh water plumbing system. (See Draining the Fresh
Water System)
4. Water heater should be empty after performing Step 2. Water heater bypass valves (if
so equipped): A and B should still be closed, valve C open. (See Water Heater Bypass
Diagram)
Make sure the "fresh water tank drain" and "low point drains" are closed.
5.
Close the fresh water tank shutoff valve "D" (if so equipped).
6.
located in the vicinity of the water pump. (See water heater bypass diagram)
Open valve "E" on the water pump with the clear hose attached and insert the
7.
opposite end of the clear hose into a container of RV antifreeze solution. Valve
should be located in the vicinity of the water pump. (See water heater bypass
diagram)
8. Turn the water pump ON. Antifreeze will be drawn into the water lines.
9. Open the hot water faucets, including outside shower (if so equipped) until RV
antifreeze begins to flow continuously.
10. Close the hot water line faucets and outside shower and repeat with the cold water
line faucets. Hold open the lever on the toilet until antifreeze runs into the bowl.

When you are done adding RV antifreeze:

11. Turn the water pump OFF. Turn valve E OFF. Remove the clear hose from the
container of RV antifreeze. Leave the water tank shutoff valve D closed to keep
antifreeze out of the fresh water tank.
12. Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into the sink drain P-trap.
13. To prevent staining, wipe the RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub) and
toilet using a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE: In the spring when flushing antifreeze out of the water lines make sure to
turn valve D (the fresh water tank shutoff) back ON.
If needed, contact your RV dealer for assistance.
