Before sliding into the driver’s seat, please become familiar with operations and features. In addition, spend some time with the dealer when you take delivery to learn all you can about your new motorhome.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This operator’s manual was prepared to aid you in the proper care and operation of the vehicle and equipment.

Please read this manual completely to understand how everything in your motorhome works before taking it on its “maiden voyage”. In addition, please become familiar with the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

NOTE: This manual describes many features of

your motorhome and includes instructions for its safe use. This manual, including photographs and illustrations, is of a general nature only.

Some equipment and features described or shown in this manual may be optional or unavailable on your model.

Because of Winnebago Industries®’ continuous program of product improvement, it is possible that recent product changes and information may not be included. The instructions included in this manual are intended as a guide, and in no way extend the responsibilities of Winnebago Industries beyond the standard written warranty as presented in this manual. The descriptions, illustrations, and specifications in this manual were correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to change specifications or

design without notice, and without incurring obligation to install the same on products previously manufactured.

The materials in your InfoCase contain

warranty information and operating and maintenance instructions for the various appliances and components in your motorhome.

NOTE: Many of the instruction sheets and

manuals for the various appliances and components have been incorporated into the Operator’s Manual Supplement for your convenience. Please read the FAQ in Section 1 of the Operator’s Manual Supplement for more details.

Throughout this manual, frequent reference is made to the vehicle chassis manual that is provided by the manufacturer of the chassis on which this motorhome is built.

Consult the chassis manual for operating, safety, and maintenance instructions pertaining to the chassis section of the motorhome.

Notes:

Capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight capacity variations can result upon

installation.

Actual towing capacity is dependent on your particular loading and towing circumstances which includes the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR as well as adequate trailer brakes. Refer to the chassis operator's manual of your motor home for further towing information.

All information is based upon the most recent data available. Visit the Winnebago Industries, Inc. web page – www.winnebagoind.com – for the most current product information.

The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations. Contact your dealer for further information.

Floorplans feature a wide-body design - over 96". You should be aware that some states restrict access on some or all state roads to 96" in body width. You should confirm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.

The load capacity of your motor home is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all

available space when loading your motor home.

Capacities shown are the tank manufacturer's listed water capacity (W.C.). Actual filled propane capacity is 80%

of listing due to overfilling prevention device on tank.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

• Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.

• Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators are equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

• The following warning label is located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.

Do not place propane cylinders inside the vehicle. Propane cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging propane to the atmosphere. Propane gas is highly flammable. Can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury .

• Do not place or store gasoline or other flammable liquid containers inside the vehicle.

• All pilot lights must be extinguished and appliances turned off while refilling the fuel tank or propane gas tank.

• Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank or propane gas tank.

• Never use an open flame to test for propane gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps on propane system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and the door is latched securely.

• Never connect natural gas to the propane gas system.

• Do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow gas to escape before using ignitor or lighting a match.

Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating. Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to death or serious injury.

Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operating: Open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using cooking appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be replaced to ensure proper combustion. Improper use can result in death or serious injury.

Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of

asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAKS

Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or

as necessary.

The following label is located in the vehicle near the range area. If you smell gas within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedures listed.

IF YOU SMELL PROPANE

1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.

2. Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.

3. Do not touch electrical switches.

4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.

5. Leave the area until odor clears.

6. Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.

Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAK DETECTOR

Your motorhome is equipped with a Propane Gas Leak Detector, similar to the one shown below. The leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of propane gas is present inside the motorhome.

EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT use an open flame to test for gas leaks. When testing for gas line leaks with a soapy water solution, DO NOT use a detergent containing ammonia or chlorine. These substances may generate a chemical reaction causing corrosion to gas lines, resulting in dangerous leak conditions. Death or serious injury can result.

Power Connection

The Propane Gas Leak Detector is powered by the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will not work. The Propane Gas Leak Detector fuse or circuit breaker is located in the 12-volt house electrical load center.

Because the Propane Gas Leak Detector is connected to the house battery, it is always drawing a small amount of current. Even though this current draw is slight, it could drain the house battery during storage periods when the house battery will not be charged regularly by the engine or shoreline.

Replacement

When replacing this alarm, we recommend replacing only with the same model, or with one that is also listed for RV application. We recommend obtaining a replacement from your Winnebago Industries® dealer.

FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION

Some of the materials used in this recreational vehicle emit formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of breath have been reported as a result of formaldehyde exposure. Reaction to formaldehyde exposure may vary among individuals. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems may be at greater risk. Research is continuing on the possible long-term effects of exposure to formaldehyde. Inadequate ventilation may allow formaldehyde and other contaminants to accumulate in indoor air. Ventilation to dilute the indoor air may be obtained from a passive or mechanical ventilation system. Always be sure to thoroughly ventilate your recreational vehicle before and during each use. High indoor temperatures and humidity may raise formaldehyde levels. When a recreational vehicle is in areas subject to high temperatures, an air conditioning system can be used to control indoor temperature levels. If you have any questions regarding the health effects of formaldehyde, consult your doctor or local health department.

MOLD, MOISTURE, AND YOUR MOTORHOME

What is Mold?

Molds are part of the natural environment. They are as old as the Earth itself and mold spores are almost everywhere at some level waiting to grow. Mold plays a part of nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Indoors however, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores. Those spores are invisible to the naked eye and float throughout the outdoor and indoor air. Because

of the nature of the use of a motorhome, it is natural for a motorhome to be introduced into an environment with mold spores.

Mold is a plant and requires its own special environment to grow. That environment includes organic materials, nutrients, moisture, and proper temperature.

How Can I Avoid Mold?

To reduce the ability for mold to grow, you must reduce what constitutes its growth environment. Mold can grow with the smallest of a nutrient base. Just small amounts of dirt or dust on the carpet can be enough to allow the mold process to begin. Keep the environment as clean as possible. Vacuum the carpet. Clean food spills thoroughly and quickly. Avoid grease buildup near the stove or sink. Clean the exhaust fan above the stove often.

Minimize moisture in your motorhome and keep humidity low. Clean spills quickly. Do not allow condensation to build up. You can open windows and vents to minimize condensation. Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing moisture from the air. Avoid leaks, but if leaks do occur, make repairs promptly.

Avoid bringing mold into your motorhome. Plants, cloths, books, and other household items may already have mold present. It is easy to transfer mold into your motorhome environment.

Monitor your motorhome. Periodically check those hidden areas in corners, closets, and cabinets to assure mold is not present.

What if I Find Mold?

If mold develops, clean the area with a concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be removed from the vehicle.

Can Mold Harm Me?

The effects of mold and airborne mold spores may cause irritation to some people. Experts disagree on the level of exposure that may cause health concerns.

SECTION 2 -

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

If Mold Is Present, What Will

Winnebago Industries

If Winnebago Industries determines that mold is present in the motorhome as a result of a manufacturing defect reported to Winnebago Industries within the limited warranty period, Winnebago will clean the affected area(s) and/or replace affected items as it deems necessary. This is the extent of coverage provided by Winnebago Industries. Winnebago Industries, however, will not assume responsibility for mold deemed to be a result of a motorhome users lack of timely and appropriate action to mitigate circumstances should a problem occur.

If Winnebago Industries determines that mold is present due to conditions it determines is not a result of a manufacturing defect found within the warranty period, Winnebago Industries will not provide any financial assistance to the repair of the condition.

Do?

ROADSIDE EMERGENCY

Because of the size and weight of this vehicle and its tires, and the possible complications involved in tire changing, we strongly advise obtaining professional road service to change a flat tire whenever possible. However, if an emergency requires you to change the tire yourself, please exercise extreme caution and read all tire changing information in the chassis manual.

Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by a jack only.

If You Get A Flat Tire

• DO NOT panic.

• Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the

vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to compensate for “pull” created by the failed tire.

• DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly

shifts the vehicle’s weight forward, making it nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.

• DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator. Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and gently to continue momentum. The deflated tire will slow the vehicle.

• If you must change lanes to get to a safe stopping place, use your signals to warn other motorists and change lanes smoothly and carefully after you are certain the lane is clear .

• Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of the road. Do not worry about damaging the tire or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or wheel replacement is cheaper than damaging the vehicle or injuring yourself.

• When you have come to a stop, activate your hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then exit the vehicle carefully.

• Set out flares or other warning devices.

Check your tires for proper inflation before each trip and at least once a month with an accurate tire gauge.

Recovery Towing

When calling a professional towing service, we recommend that you advise them of your motorhome length and approximate front axle weight listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This will allow the towing operator to determine the proper towing equipment to use.

Winnebago Industries® does not assume responsibility for damage incurred while towing this vehicle.

TIRES

Improper tire pressure can result in tire overloading and abnormal wear and also affects handling, ride characteristics, and fuel economy.

Make sure all replacement tires are of the same size and rating as those shown on your Vehicle Certification Label.

SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT AND TIRE BALANCE

The front suspension and steering system of this vehicle was factory aligned using highly accurate equipment prior to delivery to the dealership. However, alignment should be checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded the motorhome according to your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment should be periodically inspected to help prevent uneven tire wear.

Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may indicate worn or misaligned suspension or steering, unbalanced tire, or other tire/suspension problem.

Alignment can be affected by worn steering/ suspension parts or by incidents which happen during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole, or railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left. Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s suspension and steering components periodically for misalignment or wear.

Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear, such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to be balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride comfort decreases noticeably.

LIGHTS

All exterior lights should be checked for proper operation each time the vehicle is prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light should be checked and replaced, when necessary, with a new bulb of the same size. A failure of more than one light, such as both taillights not operating, may indicate a burned out fuse. Check fuse and replace with one of the same rating when necessary. If a fuse is not the cause of the problem, the wiring system should be checked immediately by an authorized service center.

WARNING

Place bubble level in bottom of refrigerator

Bubble must be at least 1/2 inside circle

The appliances installed in your motorhome are manufactured by reputable RV appliance makers and have been tested by independent laboratories to meet all applicable standards and codes set for RV appliances.

See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions of this manual for any safety and precautions you need to take regarding the operation of your appliances.

REFRIGERATOR

–If Equipped

The refrigerator in your motorhome can operate from either of two energy sources available to the motorhome:

• 120-Volt AC Electric

• Propane Gas

To be able to use both types of energy, the refrigerator does not have a compressor like household refrigerators. Instead, it uses an ammonia-water solution for cooling. Basically, ammonia vapor is distilled from the solution by heat produced from either propane gas flame or electrical heat element. The ammonia vapor is then carried to the finned condenser where it liquefies. The liquid then flows to an evaporator where it creates cooling by evaporation. The ammonia circulates back into the water solution and the cooling cycle continues.

Leveling

Before operating the refrigerator when the motorhome is stationary, place a small level on the bottom of the refrigerator and make certain the unit is level. If over 1/2 of the bubble is inside the circle in any direction, the motorhome is level enough for continuous operation of the refrigerator while parked.

Normal vehicle leveling to provide comfort for the occupants is satisfactory for refrigerator operation.

5 - DASH / AUTO

Do not let children play inside the motorhome unattended. Unlike your home refrigerator/freezer that one could push open the door from the inside, your motorhome refrigerator has a travel latch and when engaged would trap a child inside resulting in suffocation leading to death or serious injury.

NOTICE

The refrigerator is made to operate within 3 off level side-to-side and 6 off level front-to-back (as looking at the front of the refrigerator). Operating it at more than these limits can cause damage to the cooling system. Make sure the vehicle is level before you operate the refrigerator.

MOTORAID WATER HEATER

CAUTION

Water Heater Exterior Service Access

-Typical View

–If Equipped

The Motoraid uses heat from the chassis engine cooling system to heat water in the water heater while driving. Hoses are routed from the engine to a heat exchanger surrounding the water heater tank.

Under normal conditions, the entire contents of the water heater can be heated in about two hours or 100 miles of driving. This means you can have hot water at the faucets immediately upon arriving at a site.

The Motoraid also increases the capacity of the engine cooling system.

NOTICE

Any leak in the heat exchanger or its supply or return lines could cause loss of coolant and subsequent engine failure. We recommend that you periodically inspect these connecting lines and the heater to insure that no leaks have developed.

SECTION 4 -

APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS

Normally there is an air gap at the top of the water heater tank, which acts as a pressure buffer. In time, however, heated water may expand and fill this air gap, causing a slight increase in water pressure. This may cause the P-T valve to “weep” until the air gap is manually replaced.

Hot water can escape from tank causing injury. Operate this valve only when the tank water is cold.

PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELIEF VALVE

On occasion, water may be seen seeping from the water heater pressure temperature relief valve. This is no cause for repair or replacement of the valve.

To Replace the Air Gap:

1. Turn off the Water Heater switch and incoming water supply (city water and/or demand pump).

2. Open a faucet in the motorhome to relieve water pressure.

3. Pull the handle of the P-T valve straight out and allow water to flow until it stops.

HEAT PUMP

–If Equipped

when outside temperatures begin to reduce the efficiency of the Heat Pump. The Heat Pump will not operate when the outside temperature falls below 36 degrees F.

To Operate the Heat Pump

Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide provided in your InfoCase for complete operating instructions.

Your motorhome may be equipped with an air source Heat Pump built into the air conditioning system. Because the Heat Pump operates on electricity, it provides economical heat inside your motorhome and helps reduce the use of propane gas for heating in cooler weather.

A Heat Pump can be thought of as an air conditioner running in reverse. An air conditioner absorbs heat from the air on the inside of the motorhome and moves it to the outside. The Heat Pump does exactly the opposite. Even cold air contains some heat, so a Heat Pump will extract heat from the outside air on a cold day and carry it to the inside of the motorhome to maintain a comfortable temperature.

The efficiency of a Heat Pump decreases as the outdoor air temperature drops, so supplementary heat is often needed when the outside temperature nears freezing. This system is set to automatically start the propane furnace to assist the Heat Pump if room temperature cools to five degrees or more below the thermostat set

temperature. You may wish to manually switch

to furnace heat to maintain a higher temperature

Check Your Air Filter

Closed or blocked vents and a dirty air filter

can hinder the efficiency of a Heat Pump.

• Ensure ceiling vents are open to distribute Heat Pump output air.

• The A/C return air filter should be checked monthly for dirt build-up and cleaned or replaced as needed. See “Air Conditioner Filter” elsewhere in this section.

DUCTED ROOF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

The furnace thermostat also controls ducted roof air conditioner operation when the Thermostat switch is placed in “Cool” position.

4-17

SECTION 4 APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS

All cooling functions controlling to setpoint have a short cycle protection time delay of three minutes. There will be no delay if the cycle OFF time exceeds three minutes.

NOTE: The ducted roof air conditioning system

has ceiling registers that can be closed if necessary to force more cool air toward a specific area of the motorhome or to route cool air away from a specific area. If too many vents are closed, however, it can cause the air conditioner unit to shut down, particularly in high humidity conditions.

Further Information

Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide provided in your InfoCase for complete operating instructions.

AIR CONDITIONER FILTER

The washable foam air conditioner filter is located in the ceiling-mounted return A/C grille in the lounge area of the motorhome.

It is recommended to check the filter monthly for dirt build-up and cleaned or replaced, as necessary.

PROPANE GAS SUPPLY

The propane gas system supplies fuel for the gas range/oven, water heater, furnace, and refrigerator (while in gas mode). When used and handled properly, this system is safe and economical and provides modern living conveniences wherever you travel.

See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions in this manual for other safety and precautions you need to be aware of related to propane.

How Propane Gas Works

Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas compressed into liquid form for easy transportation and storage. Propane gas may also be called tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.

Propane is used by appliances in vapor form only, but is stored in the tank as a liquid under very high pressure. As the liquid gas is released, it reverts back to a vapor and expands to many times its compressed volume.

Propane Tank System

The storage reservoir for the propane gas system is a horizontally mounted tank which is permanently attached to the vehicle frame. The tank is accessible only from the outside of the vehicle.

Do not alter or remove propane tank valves or gauge. Propane can escape, which can cause an explosion resulting in death or serious injury . Have the propane system serviced by a qualified service center.

Refilling Propane Tank

Since the propane tank is permanently mounted to the frame, the motorhome must be taken to a propane dealership for filling. Do not attempt to remove the propane tank from the vehicle. The tank is equipped with a fill adapter with both internal and external threads, which allows easy filling with any propane filling equipment. The tank is full when liquid propane gas appears at the overflow valve.

NOTE: The propane tank is equipped with an

automatic 80% stop-fill device.

SECTION 5 -

WARNING

DANGER

WARNING

PROPANE GAS

Do not fill propane container(s) to more than 80 percent of capacity. A properly filled container contains approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid propane. Overfilling propane container(s) can result in uncontrolled propane flow , which could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

All pilot lights, appliances, and their igniters (see operating instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers. Can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

This propane piping system is designed for use with propane only. Do not connect natural gas to this system. Securely cap inlet when not connected for use. After turning on propane, except after normal cylinder replacement, test propane piping and connections to appliances for leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use products that contain ammonia or chlorine to test for leaks. Can lead to a fire or explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.

Selecting Propane Fuel Types

We recommend using straight propane in your propane tank. Propane gas is commonly available at all propane gas outlets in the U.S. (According

to the National Propane Gas Association, propane gas outlets in the United States do not offer any other type of liquefied petroleum gas than propane to the general public.) Check local phone directory yellow pages for locations of local propane gas refilling stations or bulk dealerships.

NOTE: If you travel outside the U.S. with your

motorhome, you may find butane or propane/butane mixtures available in addition to propane. Because gasburning RV appliances are designed to run on propane only, we recommend that you request straight propane only. Butane burns about 30 percent hotter than propane and can overheat some appliances, particularly refrigerators, and cause permanent damage. Other appliances designed to operate on propane can become sooted and lose efficiency by using butane fuel.

Air in the Propane Gas Tank

If your gas appliances do not stay lit or require frequent adjustment, even though you know the propane tank contains sufficient fuel, the problem may be air in the propane gas tank. Air in the tank mixes with the propane gas vapors causing them to burn poorly. This condition could linger for weeks if the air is not purged from the tank. Most propane gas dealers have equipment for purging air from propane gas tanks and will purge before refilling the tank.

PROPANE ACCESSORY CONNECTION

–If Equipped

Your motorhome is featured with a Propane Accessory Connection for your convenience, to connect items such as a portable BBQ grill.

This connection is on the low pressure side of the propane gas pressure regulator. Portable appliances which have an additional or built-in regulator may not operate correctly.

Turn valve off when not in use. Secure cap to outlet when not in use. After turning on gas, test gas piping connections to appliance for leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use products that contain ammonia or chlorine.

SAFE USE OF THE PROPANE GAS SYSTEM

The propane system is designed and built with strict adherence to national, state, and recreational vehicle industry requirements for mobile propane gas equipment.

For your safety, there are many safety devices and backup systems installed, such as fill overflow valves, an interior propane gas detector/ alarm, and an interior carbon monoxide (CO) detector/alarm.

Propane gas also contains an odor additive that you can smell if propane is present in the air.

Here are a few precautions to observe that will help you to use the propane gas system safely:

• Exercise caution at all times. Be familiar with

the distinctive odor of propane gas. If a leak is suspected, turn off the supply valve immediately. Have the propane gas system checked by your dealer or other qualified propane gas service center.

• Do not tamper with the propane gas piping

system, pressure regulator, or gas appliances. Service and maintenance of propane gas system components should be performed only by your dealer or a qualified propane gas service center.

• Never attempt to connect natural gas to the

propane gas system.

SECTION 5 -

DANGER

WARNING

PROPANE GAS

• Have the entire propane gas system inspected for possible leaks and missing or damaged parts at each filling. Also inspect before and after each trip, and any time trouble is suspected.

• Turn the propane supply valve off when not using the propane gas system.

• Never use a wrench to tighten the supply valve. It is designed to close leak-tight by hand. If a wrench is required to completely close the valve, it is defective and must be replaced.

• Be sure appliance and outside vents are open and free from obstruction when using the propane gas system.

• Never attach a lock or any device requiring a key to the propane compartment door. According to standards set for recreation vehicles, the propane supply valve must be readily accessible in an emergency.

• Exercise caution when drilling holes or attaching objects to the walls. Gas lines and electrical wiring could be seriously damaged and present an extreme safety hazard.

PROPANE GAS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

It is illegal for vehicles equipped with propane container to travel on certain roadways or through certain tunnels in the U.S. To avoid inconvenience, check state regulations concerning flammable gas transportation.

IF YOU SMELL PROPANE

1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.

2. Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.

3. Do not touch electrical switches.

4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.

5. Leave the area until odor clears.

6. Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.

Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

• All pilot lights must be extinguished and appliances and their ignitors turned off while refilling the fuel tank or propane container.

• Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank or propane gas container.

• Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by burned gasoline, diesel fuel, or propane gas in items such as the range, chassis engine, generator engine, refrigerator, furnace, and water heater . They contain carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas.

• Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.

• Regulators are equipped with a protective cover . Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

PROPANE GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator is protected from the elements by a plastic cover, which should be left in place at all times.

Propane regulators must always be installed with the regulator vents facing downward. Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage that could result in excessive propane pressure causing fire or explosion.

Only your dealer or a qualified propane gas service should remove the regulator cover for adjustments.

SECTION 5 -

PROPANE GAS

Visually inspect the pressure regulator vent periodically for blockage by accumulated debris or insect nests, etc. Vent obstruction could result in excessive pressure causing fire or explosion, which could result in death or serious injury . If an obstruction exists, have the regulator serviced by a qualified service center.

Regulator Freeze-up

Regulator freeze-ups are caused by the presence of moisture in fuel. This moisture will pass through the cylinder valve and into the regulator where it can freeze. Fuel producers, tank and bottle manufacturers, and propane gas dealers take every precaution to reduce moisture, but sometimes only a fraction of an ounce

5-5

SECTION 5 PROPANE GAS

entering the tank can cause problems. To help avoid the possibility of freeze-up, always keep tank control valve closed when not in use, even when tank is empty, to prevent moisture from collecting on the inside.

If regulator freeze-up should occur, you may

attempt to thaw the regulator using a light bulb.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OR HEAT LAMP.

If moisture begins to cause problems, have your propane gas dealer inject a small amount of dry methyl alcohol in your tank (approximately one ounce to 20 pounds or one pint to 100 gallons) to help guard against regulator freezeups.

PROPANE VAPORIZATION IN COLD WEATHER

Propane gas vaporization increases and decreases in direct relation to ambient temperature. In other words, the lower the temperature, the slower the liquid propane will vaporize into a usable gas for appliances.

This means that in extremely cold weather when a large volume of gas is being used by the furnace for heating, it is possible to experience a loss of gas pressure.

At first, this problem may appear to be caused by an empty tank or a regulator freeze-up, but is actually caused by failure of the liquid gas to vaporize as fast as it is needed by the furnace.

The demand for propane to produce heat increases to the point where the gas cannot vaporize fast enough to keep the furnace going. The only solution to this problem is to reduce gas usage where possible.

Adjusting the temperature on the gas/electric refrigerator may be a first step. Using less hot water will also help, as well as refraining from using the gas cooktop. A final step is to lower the thermostat setting to reduce gas usage by the furnace.

NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt

DC current to 120-volt AC.

Current drawn from the house batteries passes through the Power Converter unchanged, although it is routed through a series of protective fuses located on the power panel.

NOTICE

Do not block the converter cover vents in any way. The converter generates heat while operating and needs unrestricted airflow for proper cooling. Damage to the converter can result.

SECTION 6 -

ELECTRICAL

Charging Section

The converter charges house batteries while 120-volt external power is connected. The converter will automatically “sense” the condition of the battery. If it is below “full charge”, the Charging Section will start charging the batteries.

If the house batteries have been extremely discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively high amperage rate. If they are only slightly discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the batteries reach “full charge”, then will continue “trickle” charging at a very low amperage rate. If your battery does not charge as described above, it is possible the battery is defective.

Thermal Overload

A thermal overload will “break” the 120-volt AC power to the converter section of the Power Center if the Power Converter becomes overheated. This can result from operating above its maximum limit for an extended period of time or by obstruction of ventilation to unit.

NOTE: The Power Converter section will

automatically route 12-volt lights and motors to house battery power in this event.

The thermal overload will reset itself after a period of time, and the lights and motors will again resume operation from the Power Converter section. If the breaker trips again shortly after reset, take immediate steps to correct the cause of overheating. A portion of the house 12-volt load (lights or motors or both) should be turned off to reduce total load. Also, inspect the Power Converter to ensure ventilation is not obstructed.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS – HOUSE 120-VOLT AC

The breaker panel protects all 120-volt components in the motorhome from either an overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or

component itself. When an overload or short develops, the breaker will open preventing damage to the system.

Shut off the equipment (example: roof air conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period. Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to “Off” and back to “On”. If the breaker is continually tripped and no overload is evident, have the system checked for a short in the wiring or the appliances.

The breaker panels are located behind a door or pull-off panel on a lower cabinet face in either the galley or lounge area or beneath the rear bed, depending on model.

NOTE: Breakers are labeled on panel.

Arrangement may vary according to appliance and equipment options.

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS – HOUSE 120-VOLT AC

A number of standard household electrical outlets are provided throughout the motorhome for connecting small appliances such as televisions, radios, toasters, etc.

An exterior outlet is also located on the outside of the motorhome near the entrance door or in a storage compartment on the passenger side of the motorhome.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

Bath, galley, and exterior outlets are connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), which is an extremely sensitive circuit breaker that will help to protect against severe electrical shock if a ground fault develops. If such a condition occurs, the GFCI will break the circuit by turning off the power to the protected outlets. Should this occur, unplug all the appliances on that circuit and press the reset button on the GFCI equipped outlet.

If the GFCI keeps tripping, have the electrical system checked and repaired, if necessary, before using again.

The following label is located near the 120volt house circuit breaker panel and at the Generator to warn you to disconnect specific electrical connections before servicing the Generator and storing the motorhome.

Operation Warnings and Cautions

The exhaust of all internal combustion engines contains carbon monoxide (CO). This poisonous gas is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and lighter than air. The exhaust systems of both your motorhome engine and your generator engine have been installed with your safety in mind. However, certain precautions must be taken when using them to protect yourself from conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer.

1. Do not simultaneously operate the generator and a power vent, which could draw exhaust gases into the vehicle.

2. Do not open windows or vents on the end or side of the vehicle where exhaust pipe of the generator is located.

3. Park the vehicle so that the wind will carry the exhaust away from the vehicle. Also, note the position of other vehicles to be sure their exhaust will not enter your vehicle.

4. Do not operate the generator engine while parked if vegetation, snow, buildings, vehicles, or any other object can deflect the exhaust under or into the vehicle.

See the AGS user guide for more information to help understand the AGS feature and its operation with your Generator.

Chassis Battery

The chassis battery is used to operate the engine starter and automotive accessories and controls found on the instrument panel. The electric step is also connected to the chassis battery.

Refer to your chassis manual provided in your InfoCase for further information on chassis batteries and chassis electrical system.

House Batteries

House batteries are “deep-cycle” type batteries specially designed for recreational vehicle use. They will provide longer lasting power than standard automotive starting batteries and will withstand the frequent drain-andrecharge cycles that occur under the demanding conditions of a camping outing.

The house batteries supply power to 12-volt equipment located in the living area of the motorhome. This includes the following 12-volt powered components (if equipped): interior 12volt lighting, range exhaust fan, propane furnace fan, fresh water pump, systems monitor panel, refrigerator, roof vent fans, and 120-volt electrical generator starter.

The house batteries can also provide emergency power to start the engine if the chassis battery is discharged. (See “Battery Boost Switch” in Section 3 - Driving Your Motorhome).

House batteries are automatically charged by the chassis alternator while the engine is running.

NOTE: Some electronic displays and memory

functions may need to be reset after power has been reconnected.

See also “Battery Care” elsewhere in this

section.

BATTERY ACCESS

The house/coach batteries (and chassis batteries in certain models) are located beneath the interior entrance steps. With the Residential Refrigerator, the house batteries are accessed by a separate exterior door.

• Unfasten the step retainer, then lift the step

upward and remove to service batteries.

HOUSE/COACH BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH

(COACH BATT)

The House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch lets you disconnect the house batteries from the 12-volt system of your motorhome during storage periods to avoid battery drain by electrical items that are hooked directly to the house batteries, such as clock displays and radio memories, etc.

Always leave this switch connected while using the motorhome.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL

The two best defenses against sulfating and insufficient charge are to:

1. Turn of f the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch to avoid parasitic discharge (the trickle discharge caused by directly connected components like propane gas detectors or digital clock displays, etc.)

2. Check the battery and recharge as necessary at least once a month during long storage periods. Turn the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch off to avoid electrical arcing when attaching or detaching charger clamps.

NOTICE

Step cover must be closed and latched. Failure can cause injury.

BATTERY CARE

Lead-acid type batteries are electro-chemical devices for storing and releasing electrical charge. As such, they are simply an electrical reservoir, not an electrical source. As soon as energy is removed from the battery, it should be replaced by the engine alternator or the motorhome converter system.

If a battery sits unused for 30 days or more, especially during warm weather, it can develop a deposit of sulfate crystals on the metal plates inside the battery. This condition is called “sulfating” and prevents the battery from either releasing or accepting a charge. If this condition occurs, the battery must be replaced.

If a battery does not contain at least 80% charge during freezing temperatures, the electrolyte can freeze and crack the battery case.

Disconnect batteries before connecting external charging equipment to avoid damage to sensitive electronic components.

This vehicle, like other vehicles, may contain small amounts of one or more substances which are listed by the state of California for causing cancer or reproductive toxicity.

California Proposition 65 Warning:

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

6-12

NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in

during storage. Follow regular battery inspection and maintenance.

SECTION 6 -

WARNING

ELECTRICAL

Further precautions are:

• Check the state of charge periodically to avoid discharge or sulfating.

To ensure that the battery will always accept and hold a charge, follow these simple maintenance practices:

• Make sure the batteries always remain

securely clamped in the battery tray.

• Make sure battery cable clamps are tight on

the terminal posts and are free of corrosion.

• Neutralize corrosion buildup or acid film on

top of battery by washing with a baking soda/ water solution. Rinse with clear water.

NOTE: Make sure vent caps are on securely to

prevent baking soda solution from entering the battery and contaminating the electrolyte fluid.

• Fluid level check may be omitted if equipped with maintenance-free batteries.

To prevent wiring damage, it is essential when replacing the cables on the battery , or when using a “booster” battery , that the positive post and the positive cable be attached and the negative post and negative cable be attached. The posts are marked (+) plus and (-) minus. If a “boost charger” is used while battery is in the motorhome, disconnect both battery cables before connecting the charger to avoid damage to engine electronic components. Never attempt to charge or boost a frozen battery . An explosion can occur resulting in personal injury.

Before removing any battery cables or battery, make sure all 12-volt equipment in the motorhome is off and the power cord has been disconnected. Be sure to replace the battery terminal boot, if supplied, back onto the positive terminal after servicing. Care must be taken to avoid pinching the cable between any metal parts. Should the cable be damaged, a short circuit could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. Replace any damaged cables at once. Always remove jewelry and wear protective clothing and eye covering when checking or handling batteries.

• Clean and tighten battery terminals and have the specific gravity checked at least once a year.

• Check the battery fluid level every month, or more often in hot weather. Fill to approximately 3/8 inch above the plates. DO NOT OVERFILL. If fluid is added during freezing weather, the motorhome should be driven several miles to mix water and electrolyte to prevent freezing.

Chassis Batteries

If your motorhome is going to be unoccupied for two weeks or more, Winnebago Industries® recommends disconnecting the chassis batteries in your motorhome to avoid battery discharge.

Turn the Chassis Battery Disconnect switch (located near the entrance door) to the OFF position to disconnect batteries.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES – HOUSE 12-VOLT DC

All 12-volt circuits and equipment in the coach area of the motorhome are protected by either a fuse panel or breaker panel. When a circuit is overloaded or a short develops in any part of the system, a fuse or breaker will shut down that circuit. If this happens, turn off all affected lights or appliances and reset the breaker or replace the fuse with a new one of equal amperage rating.

Fresh (City) Water Connection

“Fresh Water Inlet”

(Located in the water service center)

-Typical View

FRESH WATER SYSTEM

The Fresh Water System provides water to the galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, toilet, and water heater. Water may be supplied by either of two sources:

• A fresh water tank and water pump located

within the motorhome, or

• Any external fresh water source to which the

motorhome may be connected, known as “city water”.

There are two ways to fill the fresh water tank on your motorhome - City Fill or Gravity Fill.

Water Pressure Regulators

Because city water pressure varies from location to location, we recommend obtaining an in-line water pressure regulator to prevent damage to any components, connections, and seals in your fresh water system.

These devices simply connect in-line between the supply hose and the city water input on the motorhome. We recommend regulators that control water pressure to 50 psi. max.

Water pressure regulators are commonly available at most RV dealerships and many large retail discount or home supply centers.

Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved potable water filling facility or a known purified drinking water source.

The tank is filled through the City Water Connection (Fresh Water Inlet) located inside the water service center.

The Fresh Water valve (located in the water service center) routes the water from the city water hose to the fresh water tank for filling.

1. Attach hose to the Fresh Water Inlet.

Method 1 - Filling the Fresh Water Tank Through City Fill Connection

Potable water only. Sanitize, flush, and drain water tank before using. See owner’s manual for instructions, care, and maintenance information. Failure to maintain tank can result in death or serious injury.

2. Open the Gravity Fill door (located behind a

small, lockable door on the driver or passenger sidewall or backwall - depending on model) to aid in tank venting and as an overflow when the tank is full.

7. Turn the Fresh Water valve to Normal position to use the water pump. The T ank Fill

position is only for pressure filling the water tank from the city water hose connection.

4. Turn city water supply ON.

5. Use the level display on the monitor panel to oversee filling of the tank, or when the tank is full, water will flow from tank vent tube beneath the motorhome and out of the Gravity Fill door.

NOTICE

Do not leave fresh water connection unattended when filling tank. Failure to comply may result in tank expansion and property damage.

Using City Water

When connected to an outside source of water, the water bypasses the water pump and storage tank and supplies pressure directly to individual faucets and toilet. A check valve built into the pump prevents water from entering the pump and filling the storage tank.

• Connect hose to Fresh Water Inlet as

described in previous steps.

• With the Fresh Water valve in the Normal

position, turn the Water Pump switch(es) OFF.

NOTE: Always keep the Fresh Water valve in

Normal position unless you are filling the tank. If this valve is left in the Tank Fill position while using the city water, water will keep flowing into the tank and out the tank vent tube onto the ground and the water pump will run without delivering water to the faucets.

Disconnecting from City Water

• Turn the city water supply OFF.

NOTE: Ensure the Fresh Water valve is in

NORMAL position to use the water pump. If the valve is in Tank Fill position, the pump will run continuously without delivering water.

Method 2 - Filling the Fresh Water Tank Through Gravity Fill

–If Equipped

• Insert hose into fill opening and turn water supply on. T ank is full when water flows from the tank vent tube beneath the motorhome and out of the Gravity Fill door.

Using Tank Water (Gravity Fill)

• Turn Water Pump switch ON. While the switch is on, the water pump will automatically supply tank water as needed.

WATER PUMP

When your motorhome is not connected to a city water supply, water is supplied from the fresh water tank by a water system demand pump. A demand pump is designed to run only when you are using water. When you open a faucet, the waterline pressure drops and the pump begins to run, and it will continue to run as long as the faucet is open. When you close the faucet, the line pressure backs up to the pump, and it shuts itself off.

The pump is self-priming and will run briefly to build up line pressure when the Water Pump switch is first turned on. See “Initial Waterline Priming” for instructions on using the water system for the first time.

Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved potable water filling facility or a known purified drinking water source.

The gravity tank fill tube is located behind a small, lockable door on the driver or passenger sidewall or backwall toward the back of the motorhome, depending on model.

Water Pump Strainer

The pump is equipped with a cleanable strainer to capture any possible tank-borne particles that could damage pump components.

NOTE: We recommend that you check and clean

the strainer after each tankful of water during the first few uses of the Water Pump system. Thereafter, remember to check it at least yearly, and be sure to empty water from it if using the blowout winterization procedure.

Water Pump Switch

The Water Pump switch is located on the monitor panel (some models may have an additional switch in the water service center, near the exterior shower, or within the bathroom area for your convenience).

While the switch is “ON”, the pump will automatically supply water as it is needed.

Do not leave the pump on while away from your motorhome or while driving. In time, a

slow leak in a faucet could drain the water tank, fill the holding tank, and discharge the house batteries.

• Fill canister about 1/3 with clean water and add a couple of tablespoons of household bleach, then scrub with a sponge or brush to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.

• Lubricate the O-ring with clean silicone grease to ensure a proper watertight seal, then place back into the groove at the bottom of the canister threads.

NOTE: The O-ring should be replaced every

third cartridge change to ensure proper sealing. See your dealer for replacement cartridges and O-rings.

• Insert a new filter cartridge into the canister, then hand tighten the canister securely onto the filter head. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

• Turn the Fresh Water Valve to Normal position. Next open a faucet inside the motorhome or the exterior shower, then turn city water on SLOWLY to allow the canister to fill with water.

• Thoroughly flush the filtration system by running the water for twenty (20) minutes.

Replacing the Full-Coach Water Filtration Cartridge

Replace the filter cartridge after 1,000 gallons of usage or sooner if water flow from faucets is noticeably reduced.

• Turn off the water supply and relieve water

line pressure by opening a faucet.

• Remove the filter canister from the filter head.

Use the filter wrench supplied to loosen the filter canister.

• Unscrew the canister from the filter head.

(There will be water inside the canister).

• Remove the large O-ring seal from the

canister. Check seal for damage, wipe clean, and set aside. Discard the used filter cartridge.

• W ash the inside of the canister with dish soap

DISINFECTING YOUR FRESH WATER SYSTEM

(As required by NFPA®1 192 Standard on Recreational Vehicles)

To ensure complete disinfection of the potable

water system, it is recommended that the following procedure be followed on a new system, one that has not been used for a period of time, or one that could have become contaminated.

This procedure is also recommended before

long periods of storage, such as over winter.

Disinfecting with Gravity Fill

PLUMBING

tank empty, pour chlorine solution into the tank through the gravity fill port. Use 1 gallon solution for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. This procedure will result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the water system.

NOTE: If a 100 ppm concentration is desired,

use 1/2 cup of household bleach with 1 gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution. One gallon of this solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.

Chlorine is poisonous. Do not misuse. Recap bottle and clean all utensils after use.

Disinfecting with City Water Fill

When disinfecting through the city water fill, an external cartridge-type water filter assembly must be connected in-line between the city water hose and the city water fill to add disinfecting solution to the tank. These filters are commonly available at most RV supply stores.

NOTE: If you do not have an in-line cartridge

filter, see City Water Hose/Tank Disinfection following this procedure for an alternate method of adding bleach solution to your tank.

1. Remove the filter cartridge and pour 1/4 cup

of household chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution) for each 15 gallons of tank capacity into the empty filter canister, then screw the canister back onto the filter base.

2. Complete filling of tank with fresh water.

3. Open each faucet in the motorhome and run the water until a distinct odor of chlorine can be detected in the water discharged. Do not forget the hot water faucets.

4. Let the system stand at least 4 hours when disinfecting with 50 ppm residual chlorine. (If

a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 ppm chlorine concentration should be allowed to stand in the system for at least 1 hour).

5. Drain the water tank and refill with fresh water.

6. Open each faucet again and run fresh water to flush chlorinated water from the lines. Run the water until there is no odor of chlorine detected in the water discharged. Do not forget the hot water faucets. (You may need to leave a hot water faucet

open for some time to flush the water heater with clean water. You may also want to turn the water heater off until this is done to avoid wasting energy trying to heat “unused” water).

7. Water system is now disinfected.

Chlorine is poisonous. Do not misuse. Recap bottle and clean all utensils after use.

This solution will result in a residual chlorine concentration of approximately 50 ppm in the water system. (If a 100 ppm concentration is

Continuous Tank Disinfection (Superchlorination)

Some RVers like to ensure continuous sanitation of their fresh water tank by “superchlorination”– maintaining an effective low level of chlorine in the tank at all times.

• Add 1 teaspoon of household chlorine bleach

(sodium hypochlorite) to your tank for each 10 gallons of tank capacity . When you fill the tank, this will result in a 6.7 ppm level of chlorine, which should kill harmful bacteria and slime-forming organisms.

• Chlorine may be removed from drinking

water by the cold water filter at the galley faucet (if equipped) or by installing an activated carbon water purifier at the galley sink cold water line or a separate drinking water faucet with filter.

• Superchlorination does not affect city water

usage, only the fresh water tank.

SHOWER HOSE VACUUM BREAKER

After using the shower, you may notice water dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The dripping results when vacuum in the shower hose (after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases and allows water remaining in the hose to drain down. This is a normal function of the shower valve assembly and is not a leak or defect.

If items are placed into the shower tub before shower valve vacuum release is complete, they may become wet.

City Water Hose/Tank Disinfection

As an alternative way to disinfect your tank, connect a city water hose to your motorhome and pour the bleach into the other end of the hose using a funnel. Hold the hose upright to avoid draining the bleach. Connect the hose to a city water hydrant to force the bleach into the tank and fill the tank with

your pet outside the motorhome. Some models may have a Water Pump switch located near the shower faucet for convenience.

TOILET

The toilet in your motorhome is very similar to the household type, except that it is designed to use only a small amount of water per flush. It uses a high velocity jet of water, producing a swirl effect, to efficiently cleanse the bowl.

Important “Don’ts”

• Don't use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue in

the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate sufficiently and will often cling to the sides of the holding tank. Toilet tissue made specifically for use in RV toilets and holding tanks is available at most RV supply centers.

• Don’t dispose of sanitary napkins or other

non-dissolving items in the toilet.

See winterizing instructions at the end of this section to prepare the toilet for storage in freezing conditions.

Further Information

See the toilet manufacturer’s operation information in your InfoCase for complete operating, care, and maintenance information.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM (P-TRAPS)

Ensure there is an adequate amount of water in the drainage system p-traps to avoid sewer odor from entering your motorhome.

If you should experience a sewer odor, pour approximately 1 cup of water down each sink and shower drain in the motorhome.

WASTE WATER SYSTEM

(Holding Tanks)

The drainage system is self-contained and uses two separate holding tanks to contain the waste water until it can be dumped at an appropriate waste water disposal site. This means you can use the toilet(s), sinks, and shower even in areas where utility hookups are not available.

The black water holding tank(s) contains the sewage from the toilet(s) and may include bathroom lavatory on some models. The gray water holding tank contains the waste water from the galley sink and shower, and may include bathroom lavatory.

See “Specifications” in Section 1 - Introduction for tank capacities for your model.

Dumping Holding Tanks

1. Remove sewage drain hose from water

service center.

2. Remove dust cap from sewage drain outlet

and connect sewage drain hose. Be sure it is firmly attached.

• Don’t put automotive antifreeze or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy detergents into the toilet or holding tank. These products may damage plastic or rubber parts in the system.

WARNING

PLUMBING

Do not use the tank flush valve unless the fullway termination valve is in the open position. May result in an unsanitary condition leading to illness or personal injury.

1. Dump your black water holding tank in the usual manner at approved sewage disposal station.

2. Leave Black Waste Tank Drain valve open while flushing tank.

3. Attach a garden hose from a city water hydrant to the Black Waste Tank Flush Inlet fitting in the water service center . (This inlet is clearly marked separate from the City Water inlet).

Service inlet access must be closed when utility connections are not in use.

When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump valves closed until a tank becomes full or when preparing to leave the site. This keeps the solids in suspension, allowing them to be carried out with the liquids when the dump valve is opened. If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain off, leaving solids in the tank. Should this accidentally happen, disconnect the hose, fill the tank about half full with water, and drive a few miles to dislodge the solids. A few starts and stops will aid in the process. Then reconnect the hose and drain in the normal manner.

NOTE: Always keep sewage drain outlet capped

while sewage connection is not in use.

WATERLINE & TANK DRAIN VALVES

The waterline and tank drain valves are used to drain water from the water tank and the water supply lines when preparing the motorhome for storage or when sanitizing the water system.

See the “Water System Drain Valve Locations” chart at the end of this section for locations on your model.

When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump valves closed until a tank becomes full or when preparing to leave the site. This keeps the solids in suspension, allowing them to be carried out with the liquids when the dump valves are opened. If the valves are left open, the liquids will drain off, leaving solids in the tank.

PLUMBING

WATER HEATER BYPASS AND ANTIFREEZE SIPHON VALVES

–If Equipped

Your motorhome may be equipped with a Water Heater Bypass valve and an Antifreeze Siphon (Winterization) valve for winterizing waterlines using RV antifreeze.

Turn the handle as shown to either bypass or flow mode.

Refer to the “Water System Drain Valve Locations” chart at the end of this section for locations on your model.

Leave bypass valve handle in NORMAL FLOW position if draining water and blowing out waterlines. Place in BYP ASS position ONLY when using antifreeze solution in waterlines.

WINTERIZING PROCEDURE

You can winterize the water and plumbing system of your motorhome using one of the following two methods – 1) Blow out waterlines using compressed air or – 2) Fill waterlines with RV water system antifreeze.

Method 1 – Blow Out Procedure

(Drain and purge waterlines using compressed air)

1. Level the Motorhome. If the motorhome is

not level, there may be “low points” in waterlines that can trap water in the lines and prevent it from draining properly.

2. Drain Fresh Water Tank and Waterlines.

Open all waterline drain valves and drain fresh water tank. (See “Water System Drain Valve Locations” chart at the end of this section for locations of drain valves on your model).

3. Drain Exterior Shower/Wash Station.

Open exterior shower knobs and lay shower head on ground as shown to drain any water left in the shower line. Also place the tip of your finger into the city water inlet and gently press the backflow valve “button” in the center of the inlet to drain any water trapped in the inlet line.

7-14

4. Remove Full-Coach Water Filter. Remove

(Lift handle only when water heater is cold)

the filter canister from the Full-Coach Water Filtration System in the water service center and discard the filter cartridge. After emptying the canister, remount it onto the filter assembly and continue the Blow-Out Procedure.

5. Open Faucets. Turn on the water pump and

open all sink faucets and shower head knobs. Leave open after water stops flowing.

6. Drain Toilet. Press the toilet flush pedal and

hold until water stops flowing in the toilet. Then turn Water Pump switch off.

7. Drain Optional Appliances. At this time, if

your motorhome is equipped with an optional refrigerator ice maker or washer/dryer, the waterlines for that must also be drained. (See “Winterizing Optional Appliances” instructions at the end of this section.) If not, proceed to the next numbered step.

8. Drain Wa ter Heater. Turn off the Water

Heater power switch before draining the water heater tank to avoid damage to the heating element. Drain the water heater by removing the plug from the base of the water heater tank, accessible from the outside of the motorhome. (Requires socket and ratchet).

SECTION 7 -

PLUMBING

Hot water can escape from tank causing injury. Operate relief valve or remove drain plug only when the tank water is cold.

• Also, open the Pressure-T emperature Relief valve at the top right portion of the tank to prevent air locking in the tank while draining.

9. Connect Air Pressure. After water has

stopped draining at all faucets and drain valves, leave faucets open and connect a “blow-out” plug to the city water connection on the motorhome. Then use a compressed air hose regulated to 30 psi or less to force air through the system. A blow-out plug can be

purchased at any Winnebago Industries® dealer.

NOTICE

Limit air pressure to 30 psi to avoid damage to equipment.

NOTE: DO NOT burst air into the system. This

can damage the water pump. It is better to let air in slowly.

10. Let air flow for five minutes until water is

completely drained out of faucets and drain valves. Then close faucets one at a time.

11. Drain Toilet. Operate and hold toilet flush

lever until water is completely drained from toilet.

12. Turn air pressure off. Disconnect water

purge adapters. Recap the city water inlet to avoid contamination by dirt or insects.

After Disconnecting Air Pressure

13. Close all waterline and tank drain valves and all faucets to avoid contamination by dirt, insects, or rodents.

14. Reinstall the water heater drain plug and close the Pressure-Temperature Relief valve.

15. Pour about one cup of RV antifreeze down each drain for the galley sink, lavatory sink, and shower/tub. This fills the drain trap pipes to prevent holding tank odors from entering the motorhome during storage.

NOTE: It is not necessary to add antifreeze to

the toilet since the flush valve will be closed. Do not add automotive antifreeze or caustic chemicals such as bleach or laundry detergents into the toilet bowl or

holding tanks. Although these products may have a deodorizing effect, they may damage plastic and rubber parts in the system.

16. Empty the water pump strainer filter bowl to avoid water freezing and cracking the filter bowl. See “Water Pump” previously in this section.

Dump and Clean Holding Tanks

17. Completely drain the sewage and waste water holding tanks at an approved waste disposal site. Drain the sewage tank first so the following waste water can rinse any waste solids from the dump outlet and sewer hose.

18. Close dump valves and refit the dust cap onto the drain outlet. This will inhibit rust formation on valve shafts and prevent entry and contamination by airborne debris, insects, and rodents.

Your drainage and fresh water systems are now winterized. See instructions for removal from storage in Section 11 - Maintenance and Storage.

Method 2 – Antifreeze Fill Procedure

(Fill plumbing lines with RV water system antifreeze)

NOTE: As an alternative to totally draining the

plumbing system, you may winterize tanks and lines by pumping non-toxic RV antifreeze through the system. This product is available from your dealer and from most RV supply stores. Follow directions on the container to determine the correct amount to use for your motorhome.

Your motorhome is equipped with a manually operated waterline winterization system for your convenience in winterizing fresh waterlines.

The system features a Winterization (diverter) valve with an antifreeze siphon tube to draw nontoxic RV water system antifreeze into the waterlines. There is also a Water Heater Bypass valve to avoid filling the water heater with
