RV Antifreeze
Draw Tube
(in water center or near water pump)
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.
Automatic Winterization System - Optional
Your coach may be optionally equipped with
an electric pump powered automatic water line
winterization system for your convenience in
winterizing fresh water lines.
A clear vinyl siphon tube for the winteriza-
tion system is located in the water service com-
STORING YOUR MOTOR HOME
partment near the rear wheels on the driver side
of the coach.
Winterizing System Siphon Tube (Typical)
• Remove and save the protective end cap
from the siphon tube.
• Insert the end of the siphon tube into a con-
tainer of RV antifreeze solution. We recom-
mend using a clean bucket or container that
can hold at least 3 gallons of RV antifreeze
to avoid frequent refills during the process.
The winterization system switch panel is
located behind the laundry center cabinet door.
Winterizing System Switches
• Press the BYPASS switch to avoid filling the
10 gallon water heater tank with antifreeze
