There is possibly a panel that you have to remove in the cargo area next to the water intake. Probably the panel with the sticker is. Good luck!

Keeping in mind that you want to find and turn the valves to "bypass" the water heater prior to running the antifreeze into the fresh water lines. Also draining the water heater is important and you can check the status of the anode rod for possible replacement. Hope this helps

Go to the cargo area of your 194 (on the slide side). Locate the access panel. It may be secured by screws or velcro. Remove panel to expose the water pump and connected plumbing. You should see a 3-way adapter or valve near the water pump. One line will be short and open on the end, this is your pickup hose. Turn the bypass valve to select the antifreeze port instead of the fresh water port. Insert the pickup hose into the antifreeze jug and begin the winterization process.
