Pump out the tank, rinse well if you can.
I add about a gallon of 50:50 green antifreeze to each head and flush it a few time (water off). There's always some water in the accumulator taks, hoses and pump. I would rather spend $10 than take a chance at freezing/cracking the pump or holding tank.
BTW, it is acceptable to flush green antifreeze down the toilet to dispose of it.
