This week’s Tech Tip will keep your air lines working even when the temperatures plummet!

First of all, it is important to wear safety glasses and ear plugs whenever opening or closing air valves that are under pressure.  To deice your air lines follow these steps:

  1. Close the charge valve for the hose reel.
  2. Bleed off the air pressure by opening the deicing valve or by letting air out of the hose reel air line (Note: under high pressure, this will make a loud noise so please use hearing protection).
  3. Open the deicer valve all the way, and pour 2 ounces of deicer in the deicer inlet (use whatever deicer you prefer).
  4. Close the deicer valve.
  5. Open the hose reel charge valve, forcing the deicer through the hose reel line.
