3...8 mm

– Adding dry de-icing salt.

If you add de-icing salt, then ensure that the 
grit and the salt are dry.
Wet grit freezes at temperatures below  0°C 
and leads to disruptions.

Note

The waste container of the ICC 1 can be 
used as a storage container for grit, as long 
as the following conditions are met:

–

–

The exhaust grid on the waste container 
must be covered.

for grit dosing is too high. Adjust the lever 
only to such an extent that the grit does not 
come out of the container on its own.

Note

The sprinkable quantity depends on the 
corn size, the driving speed and the position 
of the dosing lever for the grit.
