heater gas valve (if so equipped) OFF (out-
side of the RV).
2. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system. (See Draining the Fresh
Water System).

PLUG WHILE THE WATER HEATER IS
HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE.
4. Make sure the "fresh water tank drain" and
"low point drains" are closed.
Close the fresh water tank shutoff valve "D" (if so equipped). Valve should be located
5.
in the vicinity of the water pump.
6. Open valve "E" on the water pump with the clear hose attached and insert the opposite
end of the clear hose into a container of RV antifreeze solution. Valve should be located
in the vicinity of the water pump.

faucets. Hold open the lever on the toilet until antifreeze runs into the bowl.
When you are finished adding RV antifreeze
10. 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.
11. Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into the sink drain P-trap.
12. 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.
