Anyone out there know where I can find a detailed description how to winterize a axis t22 with a heater. I just want to know all the drain points and where they are located. Also how to properly drain the heater. I heard they have a delicate core and can freeze easily?

Your engine manual has a detailed page on winterization. All drain points are labeled and pictured. Step by step instructions are shown.

Not sure what year/motor you have but I think this will get you almost there...

Start by reading this... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=284
watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezZJq3nn1Z0
and reading your Axis & engine manuals

Instead of using a pump show at the end of the video for the antifreeze, I but bought a garden hose attachment from the hardware store for a couple bucks. Drilled a hole and installed it in the bottom of a bucket. This way I could pour 4 bottles of antifreeze in the bucket. It worked perfectly

For the heater, all you have to do is take the 'to heater' and 'from heater' hoses off the block. Blow (with your mouth) through the to hose until all water is drained. You could use a shop-vac also, but don't use anything high pressure.
