What happens here

The VSI liquid de-icing system for pickup trucks is highlighted, showcasing its key components: a 305-gallon liquid de-icer tank, a power head unit, and a boom for application. The power head unit, including the control box and plumbing, is standardized across VSI's Legacy series, meaning it's interchangeable with units up to 1600 gallons. The entire system operates wirelessly, allowing operators to set the unit in the truck bed, strap it down, and connect to it via Bluetooth without any hardwiring.

Goal: Familiarize with the components and wireless operation of VSI's sprayer systems.
