Cool 4 blue valves 2013 Rushmore Lincoln

So - it's our first time winterizing this unit and hubby has got it half figured out - - not sure why there are no instructions with the unit as to what all the valves and handles are in the docking station !!! So he managed to get the anti freeze through the cold water lines but not the hot water lines. We apparently have 4 blue handles not tagged. Can anyone assist with further info about the 4 blue valves and getting the anti freeze through the hot water lines with going through the hot water tank ?????

Thanks much kids !!

Do a search as this has been discussed recently and pictures were included with the discussion. the blue handles were not specifically mention so someone else may chime in on that, but the pictures should get you looking in the right direction.

no offense , but as I have mentioned before, if you don't want to pay someone to winterize a brand new unit ....try to find a neighbour or a friend that has done it before to help.....it saves alot of pressure.

we have winterized many units over the past years - just wondering why there is no indication with the new unit of what some valves are - - in the spring when we picked it up the dealership had run antifreeze through the water heater!!! Do you think we should take it back there ??

there should be water heater by pass valves right behind the heater that does not let anti freeze to the heater.....if the dealer filled the heater , I would stay away from them

Again, take a picture of the valves. I think I know what you are getting at. My neighbors Jayco has valves like you have. You turn a combination of them to do different functions. Like fill the fresh water tank, winterize and so forth.
Am I correct??

A picture is worth a thousand words. Help us to help you. Let us see the four blue valves.
Oh by the way you never want to fill the water heater with antifreeze.
