WARNING
USE ONLY POTABLE “RV” ANTIFREEZE IN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM OF YOUR KING
AIRE. AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINS ETHYL GLYCOL, WHICH CAN BE HARMFUL OR
FATAL IF INGESTED.
This basic procedure allows you to drain as much of the water out of the system as possible, then
adds safe antifreeze to the lines, faucets, p-traps, and tanks. It is important to remember to open
all the fresh water drain valves (for the hot and cold water lines, the hose reel, and the fresh water
tank) prior to pumping potable antifreeze through the system. Always remember to turn the water
pump off when winterization is complete.
The following is the detailed procedure for winterizing your King Aire:
1.
Remove Filters and bypass the water lines on them (under cabinetry inside unit and in
basement water compartment).
2.
Open all “Fresh Water” related drains (hot and cold low points and fresh water tank). Drain
as much water as possible; close all drain valves.
3.
Set “Fill Valve” to “City Water / Auto Tank Fill” position (pointing up).
4.
Attach compressed air fitting to “City Water Hose” (Reel). Set air pressure to 40 psi. Apply
40 psi air pressure to this setting for at least 30 seconds. (This forces water out of any lines
and pockets that may not get antifreeze in a later step).
5.
Go to exterior refrigerator service panel, and access the water valve / solenoid. Remove
supply line and flex line to ice maker. Drain both lines until no more water comes out. The
air pressure in the lines will force the existing water in this line out. Reattach water lines and
close water supply valve to the refrigerator.
6.
Switch “Fill Valve” to the “Manual Fill” position (to force any water out of the additional
lines and valves between the tank and water pump). Apply 40 psi of air pressure to this valve
position for at least 30 seconds.
7.
Turn off air pressure and remove air hose from “City Water” connection. Switch “Fill Valve”
to “City Supply / Manual Override” for the rest of the winterization procedure.
8.
In the exterior Water Compartment. Engage “Winterization” valves by closing the top “A”
valve, and opening the “B” valve below it. Put the end of the clear “winterization” hose in a
container of RV “Potable” Antifreeze. Turn on the water pump.
NOTE:
APPROXIMATELY 5 – 7 GALLONS OF POTABLE RV ANTIFREEZE ARE
REQUIRED TO
WINTERIZE A KING AIRE.
9.
Start with the farthest faucet from the water compartment (usually the kitchen sink faucet).
Open every valve (don’
t forget drinking water dispensers and both hot and cold sides of the
faucet) and run until RV antifreeze flows freely from each. Close that faucet and move to the
next faucet until all have been winterized. DO NOT forget the interior and exterior showers,
and the toilet.
