OPERATING THE SPREADER

Driving and Spreading on Snow and Ice

CAUTION

Drinking and then driving or spreading is very

dangerous. Your reflex, perceptions,

attentiveness and judgement can be affected by

even a small amount of alcohol. You can have a

serious or even fatal collision if you drive after

drinking. Please do not drink, then drive or

spread ice control materials.

Follow your vehicle owner’s manual instructions for

driving in snow and ice conditions. Remember when

you drive on snow or ice, your wheels will not get good

traction. You cannot accelerate as quickly, turning is

more difficult and you will need longer braking

distance. Wet and hard packed snow or ice offers the

worst tire traction. It is very easy to lose control. You

will have difficulty accelerating. If you do get moving,

you may have poor steering and difficult braking which

can cause you to slide out of control.

Here are some tips for driving in these conditions.

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink, then drive or spread snow and ice

control materials.

• Spread or drive only when you have good visibility

for operating a vehicle.

• If you cannot see well due to snow or icy

conditions, you will need to slow down and keep

more space between you and other vehicles.

• Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.

Your headlamps can light up only so much road

ahead.

• If you are tired, pull off in a safe place and rest.

• Spreader size reduces driver visibility to the rear of

the vehicle due to spreader size and location. We

recommend an OSHA compliant backup alarm for

all governed employers.

• Keep your windshield and all glass on your vehicle

clean to see around you.

• Dress properly for the weather. Wear layers of

clothing, as you get warm, you can take off layers.

Accessory Circuit

The yellow wire in the vehicle harness is provided for

accessory use of 12 AMPS or less.
