Ice & Snow
• Typicalmaterialsusedtocleaniceandsnowfromsurfaces
that contain calcium chloride and/or sodium chloride may be
used on I-Seriesboards.Asdiscussedabove,thesemayleave
awhiteresidueonthedeck.Thesecan,however,becleaned
withthemethodsprescribedabove.
• Donotusemetalshovelsorothersharpobjectsonthe
I-Seriessurface.Useaplascshovelandrounded/beveled
toolswhenscrappingoiceorsimilar.
• Notethatsurfaceslipresistancewillbereducedwithice,
 snoworsimilarpresentandcareshouldbetakenon
these occasions�
