To secure the free ends of the cable, slide
the plastic spirals over them with a twisting
motion. If insufficient cable is available
for plastic spirals to secure, “tuck”
the short end up next to the
crossmember anchor points,
as shown here.
Park vehicle on firm, level ground and
away from the flow of traffic. Set the
emergency brake. Chains should be
installed on drive wheels. Lay the cable
chain on the ground with smooth side
(TIRE SIDE) of the crossmember hooks up.
Move the chain in a sweeping motion
under the vehicle so the open mid-section
is positioned up against the backside of
the tire. This sweeping motion can best
be done while kneeling in front of the tire.
Reach around each side of the tire and
grasp both ends of the non-split side
cable (that is furthest away from you).
Pull both ends to the top of the tire so the
fasteners can be seen and manipulated
more easily. Connect the inside fastener.
Grasp the outside cable with both hands
and pull it toward you to create as much
slack as possible. Connect the top fastener
(the red one) as tightly as possible by
inserting the silver “beads” on the cable
through the keyhole.
Repeat this process with the gold
adjustment fastener. Ensure that both
fasteners are adjusted within one bead
of each other.
Move the vehicle a few feet. Remove cable
“slack” by retightening both adjustment
points as equally as possible.
This is how a properly installed chain
should appear on your tire.Your vehicle may
now be driven without further adjustment.
Chain tighteners or adjusters should
never be used with Z-Chain.
