REFER TO PAGE AS-7 FOR DIAGRAM.

Step 1: Mount pump to tank using angebolts . Pump output needs to be on the same side as lower

tank outlet ports.

Step 2: Assemble lter assembly and attach to pump inlet side, then attach suction hose with hose clamp to lter

assembly.

Step 3: Install 90 degree barb tting to lower tank port (See illustration). Attach suction hose with hose clamp to

barb tting.

Step 4: Install nozzle supply hose to pump output side using hose clamp, . At this point you can install carry handle to tank using ange bolts .

Step 5: Assemble female disconnect and 1/2” hose barb to 3/8” pvc main supply hose with hose clamp

Step 6: Assemble items #7, #15, #8 and #12 using hose clamps. (See illustration)

Step 7: Install nozzle bracket to spreader. See pg PW-5 for proper location based on spreader type.

(See illustration).

Step 8: Mount spray nozzle to nozzle bracket using retainer nut .

Step 9: Connect male disconnect to female disconnect ; complete connection between the pump and the nozzle.

Step 10: Continue to page PW-8

for the electrical power supply portion of the installation.

Anti-Icers & De-Icers

ABOUT ANTI-ICERS & DE-ICERS

An ANTI-ICER is used as a pre-treatment before a storm to prevent bonding of snow and ice to the surface. This makes

•

snow removal much easier.

• A DE-ICER is applied after a storm.

• De-Icers work by lowering the freezing point of water.

• Every de-icer has a characteristic minimum temperature at which it can melt ice.

• After a de-icer is applied and begins melting ice, the concentration becomes diluted and the minimum melting

temperature rises.

• This freezing point gradually increases and eventually will reach a point where it will not permit further melting.

• Chemical de-icers are not designed to be a complete substitute for snow removal but should be used as an aid to simplify

removal by other means, such as by shovel, blower or plow.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

• Anti-Icers should be applied before a storm at 1/2 gallon per 1000 square feet.

• De-Icers should be applied at a rate of 1 gallon per 1000 square feet for thin ice. When ice is more than one inch thick, apply at a rate of 3 gallons per 1000

feet.

Pre-Wetting System

Pre-Wetting is the process of spraying de-icing salt with a solution of liquid chemical before spreading the salt on the roadway. Pre-Wetting the salt helps it work more eectively as a de-icing agent for two reasons: First, wet salt clings to the road instead of bouncing o or being swept o by trafﬁ c. The result is that less salt is spread, saving money and minimizing the threat to the environment. Second, to be eective as a de-icing agent, salt requires moisture. Moisture dissolves the salt, releasing heat and thereby melting the ice and snow, as well as breaking the ice-road bond. When temperatures drop below freezing, there is no moisture on the road, and salt alone is ineective. Pre-Wetting the salt, however, ensures that there will be enough moisture

to facilitate the melting process. Then, pre-wetted salt works faster and at lower temperatures than does dry salt, with less waste. As a pre-wetting agent sodium chloride (salt) brine is a low-cost, eective alternative to liquid calcium.

WHY PRE-WET WITH SALT BRINE?

Sodium chloride has been used as a pre-wetting agent primarily because of its low cost and ready availability, but the real beneﬁ ts from pre-wetting occur when the brine is mixed with the dry materials. Sodium chloride must ﬁ nd moisture from some source before it can generate the heat needed to begin the melting process. Under past operations, dry sodium chloride could not generate heat until it came into direct contact with the snow or ice on the surface. As the sodium chloride found the moisture in the snow or ice, it began to generate heat which melted more snow and ice, accelerating the melting process. During snow storms and temperatures and low humidity, sodium chloride had difﬁ culty ﬁ nding available moisture, which slowed the melting process cold air considerably. Adding sodium chloride brine to dry sodium chloride at the spinner before it struck the road surface

provided extra moisture to quicken the melting process.

BENEFITS

We are pleased with the results and have found the following beneﬁ ts in using pre-wetted materials:

• Materials readily adhere to the roadway better than with dry materials.

• Pre-wetted materials begin dissolving snowpack and ice faster than dry materials.

• The quantity of materials can be reduced when pre-wetted, since less materials leave the roadway during spreading.

• Corrosion of equipment is minimized by spraying the liquid salt at the spinner.

• Operators report quicker melting with the pre-wetting process, which means better service to the traveling public.

Pre-Wet Flow Rates Linked and Un-Linked

Model # PWS-175/PWS-225

HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL PRE WET SYSTEM WHEN LINKING THE VMAXX CONTROL TO THE ACCUFLOW CONTROL.

LINKED: When you connect the two controls together using the 8" supplied

data cable, the V-Maxx control will send a signal from the the data port based on what position the auger dial is set to. When linking the two together, this disables the knob function of the Accuﬂ ow control. The system is set to deliver an optimum amount of liquid based on the amount of the material you are spreading. This will help minimize wasting pre-wetting materials.

UN-LINKED/STANDALONE:

You have the option not to connect the two

controls together and adjust your ﬂ ow rate using the Accuﬂ ow control knob.

POWERING UP THE SYSTEM LINKED:

Troubleshooting

Model # PWS-175/PWS-225

Whenever service is necessary, your local SnowEx Dealer knows your Sprayer best. Take your Sprayer to your local dealer for any maintenance or service needs on your unit. If this is not possible, the Troubleshooting Guide below may assist you in

identifying the problem. W

arning:

Preliminary Checks

• Be sure all electrical connections are tight and clean.

• Be sure nothing is obstructing the nozzles.

In Cab Pre-wet Error And Warning Codes

All error/warning indications have a one second pause then the ash code repeats.

Control Behavior . If there is a “motor open” or “over pressure signal” at the power-on cycle, the control will ash a number one warning until the condition is corrected. It will then continue with its normal operation mode. If there is a “motor open” or “over pressure signal” occurs during normal operation, the control on/o lamp will icker or produce a number 1. Even though the warning is ashing, the system will continue to operate uninterrupted.

Error Codes (All of these will cause the control to stop.)

. At power on: > Low Battery ---------- 5 Flashes > Motor Short ---------- 4 Flashes . During Operation > Overload -------------- 3 Flashes > Over Temp ------------ 2 Flashes

First read all warning instructions and safety messages before servicing your Sprayer.
