Demounting
Remove the depositing chain from the side chain by opening
the depositing hook.
Open the tension lever and loosen the tension chain.
Open the locking hook (starting from the inside of the wheel)
and pull the chain off the wheel.
Care instructions
Make sure that the chains are dried quickly after each use. Dirty
chains should be rinsed in hot water and then dried. Badly rusted
chains should be re-galvanised.
Adjustment
For worn tires, the fit of the chains
can be improved by shortening the
inside chain. Distribute shortening
intervals regularly – after shortening,
the various inside chain sections
should ideally have the same length. Some chains come with
integrated shortening elements.
Repair
Regular inspection:
Turn the chains when one side of the links is
worn down by 40 % of the wire diameter.
Exception:
Chains with
welded-on grip links or wear detection system.
For repairs, please contact your retailer.
Please refer to the vehicle manufacturer information and the
enclosed instructions and warnings.

Quick Assembly
Lift the chain up by the inner chain, pull backwards over the tire
and distribute evenly to cover the whole tire.
Drive onto the chain by approx. ¼ of a wheel‘s turn.
Complete the mounting process as outlined in points 3 to 6 (see
“Mounting” below).
Mounting
Spread out the anti-skid chains left or right of the tire tread and
arrange them neatly (depending on the space, the chains may
have to be bunched together). Tension lever and tension chain
must face outwards! Place mounting cable at an angle across
the top half of the tire. Hook anti-skid chain into mounting hook.
Drive slowly onto the chain to complete one full turn of
the wheel. This will pull the chain onto the tire. Loosen the
mounting hook of the mounting cable on the anti-skid chain.
Remove the mounting cable.
Connect the side chain on the inside of the wheel first and
attach the closure hook to the ring or link (depending on the
model). Then hook it to the outside of the tire.
Note
: Please ensure that the strands of the chain are not
twisted!
Connect the attachment links for the tread net.
Tighten tension chain on the outside of the wheel and insert
tension lever into the nearest link of the tension chain. Secure
tension lever with the ring. Hang the loose chain end into the
side chain using the tension hook.
The chain is now fully assembled.
Note:
After driving a short distance (50 - 100 m or 150 - 300 ft.)
stop the vehicle and re-check the tightness and fit of the traction
chain on the tire. Re-tighten the chain if necessary.
