De-Winterization - Holiday Rambler Imperial 2008 Owner's Manual

WARNING:
Turn off the Aqua-Hot and allow it to
cool before winterizing. Hot water can
result in burn injuries.

It is recommended that a qualified
RV service technician familiar with
motorhomes, such as an authorized
dealer, perform the winterizing
procedure.
1. Empty and fl ush the holding tanks.
2. Close valve located between water
pump and fresh water tank.
CAUTION:
Ensure the fresh water tank is
completely drained. Antifreeze will not

fi lter housings.
4. Close all faucets, drain valves and low

into the container of non-toxic FDA
approved RV antifreeze.
6. Turn on the pump.
7. Turn on all the faucets, one at a
time, hot and cold, starting with the
faucet farthest from the pump. When
antifreeze is present, pour one cup
into the drain to fi ll traps and turn the
faucet off. DO NOT forget the toilet
and all outside faucets.
Valves are shown in the winterization position.
8. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks
and shower to protect surfaces from
antifreeze stains.

the water pump.
NOTE:
Some items such as the icemaker,
washer/dryer and dishwasher require
special instructions, which can be found
in the OEM manual.
