Thoughtful planning and preparation for the winter
season can help eliminate equipment failures and
breakdowns, and can extend the life of your motor
home and its systems. Your dealer can advise you con-
cerning specific winterization procedures and products
for your climate area or the areas through which you
will be traveling. Your dealer may also provide winteri-
zation service for all appliances and systems in the
motor home. The following is a check list if you prefer
to perform these procedures yourself:
o
'Check engine coolant level and antifreeze protection.
Drain and flush engine cooling system and add
antifreeze to protect the system to the lowest expected
storage temperature or at least -20' F.

operator's manuals.

blend," or add an appropriate amount of non-gelling'
fuel additive.

ization.
