Usual quick-assembly without mounting cord
1. Take inner chain, lift chain up, push it backwards and spread evenly
over the tire.
2. Drive approx. 1/4 of a wheel's turn onto the chains.
3. Further mounting like the rope mounting, point 3, 4.
Mounting anti-skid chain with mounting cord
1. Spread out chain in front of or behind the tire and arrange properly.
Tightening lever, tightening spring and tightening chain outward! Put
mounting cord at an angle across the top half of the tire. Hook anti-
skid chain into mounting hook.
2. Drive slowly one complete turn of the wheel, thereby pulling the chain
across the tire. Loosen anti-skid chain by unhooking the rings and/or
mounting hook. Remove mounting cord.
3. Connect side chain on the inner side of the wheel, hook closure hook
into the ring - then on the outside of the wheel.
Note: Check after connection: chain strands must not be twisted.
4. Lift central lock with securing device first and hang into the ring with
the notch.
5. Tension tightening chain on the outside of the wheel and insert
tightening lever into the next link of the tightening chain. Secure
tightening lever with the ring.
Disassembly of anti-skid chains
– Unhook tightening spring
– Open tightening lever
– Loosen tightening chain
– Loosen closure hook (starting on the outside of the wheel)
– Open central lock
– Pull chain off of the wheel

Care of chains
Following the use of the chains, make sure that they are dried rapidly. Mud and dirt-
covered chains should be rinsed in hot water and then dried. Badly used chains should
be re-galvanized.
Adjustment:
When the tires are worn, the fit of the chains can be improved by shortening the inside
chain. Distribute shortening places regularly – after shortening the various inside chain
sections should have the same length, if possible. Some Universal chains are already
assembled with shortening elements.
Repair
a) hardened repair ring
b) 2 hardened repair rings +
hardened chain piece
Regular inspection of condition: Turn the chains when one side of the links is worn
down by 1/3 of the wire diameter. Exception: Chains with welded wear studs.
