Page 5: Grit Recommendations
Introduction to Elston Traction Sanders for Trucks Grit Recommendations One of the most common questions on the traction sanders is the type of grit that should be used. We recommend that the grit used in the sanders meet the requirements below for the most reliable performance of the unit. - Page 6 Introduction to Elston Traction Sanders for Trucks Coal, Iron and Copper Slag Copper, iron, and coal slag are materials that are used for blasting abrasives and have be found to work as sander material as long as they are not too fine or have too much fine material. Avoid mixes with material finer than #20.
- Page 7 Introduction to Elston Traction Sanders for Trucks Sand Most sand will not work if it is wet or has too much fine material. Sand with excessive fines will quickly become too firmly packed to flow out of the sander although it may appear to work fine when first added to the sander.

Page 13: Wiring
Installation Wiring Please refer to the appendix for the wiring diagram for the sander. Unless otherwise indicated on the sander, all sanders contain 12 volt coils. It is not necessary to wire the unit to receive power when the vehicle is off. Do not wire any other components, such as the level indicator, so that they turn on and off when the sander switch is operated as the voltage spike produced when turning off the solenoids will damage most electronic components. -
