blower or other equipment, the Ossian LS® can be used to

apply liquid de-icer to the residual ice and snow left behind with

standard application rates.

removed to prevent refreezing where it can cause a dangerous,

uneven and slick surface.

Risk of slip and fall accident.

Remove slush from de-iced surfaces to prevent refreezing.

DO NOT use liquid anti-icers to melt ice and snow prior to

physical snow removal or as a substitute for snow removal.
