Is there a winterization procedure for the LADS (Laundry Advanced System)?

One of my supported units just recieved the LADS and we're having a hard time trying to find a winterization procedure for it.

They have nowhere else to keep them but outside and their whole CoC is worried about them freezing up and breaking because they're pacing items for the unit.

Any maintenance guys or loggies out there that can help me out?

Id make sure that just like any other piece of equipment that deals with water is to make sure that there is no water in the lines so it don't freeze and bust your pipes and that its probably covered and lubricated if not being used for a while.

Regarding the outside conditions, set up your LME. Minimizing the effects of the wind isn't a fail safe, however it is an attempt. My unit will drop the trailer as low as it can go for additional draining. Keep the drain caps off for as long as possible to assist in evaporation of water still in the system.

I would contact Anthony Clark at TSED at Ft Lee Virginia. He was the master trainer for the LADS when I was an instructor at the school.
