Mix salt with the Sand in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer, or at least 5 percent by volume when no manufacturer recommendations are given. Attach an object marker to the lead module as shown. For narrow site systems, secure the first two barrier sections by pinning or restraining as shown. For water -filled impact attenuators, use one of t he following anti -freezing solutions to fill the impact attenuator: 25% Liquid Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA), 75% water solution, by volume 60% Liquid Potassium Acetate, 40% water solution, by volume

00226.43Truck Mounted Attenuator - When workers or construction Equipment are operating in a

closed Traffic Lane or Shoulder, are exposed to Public Traffic, and are not located behind a rigid, longitudinal barrier system, use a truck mounted impact attenuator (TMA).
