Warning Against Misuse; Warranty Conditions - pewag UNI-RADIAL Montage

Warning against misuse

Legal regulations require that these warnings are attached although many of them will seem self-
evident to you.
But always keep in mind that these instructions have to be observed on any condition and that we
will not assume liability for any damage resulting, even in part, from the non-observance of these
instructions. By using the anti-skid-chains, you and your staff declare to have taken notice of and will
observe these warnings and that you will not assert any claims against the manufacturer, importer or
retailer in case of non-observance.
Non-observance of the following instructions may cause substantial damage to persons or property
(road accidents) with severe consequences.
1. Anti-skid chains should only be used for mounting on vehicle tires. These chains as well as the
spare parts are case-hardened, thus being wear-resistant, and must not be used for pulling, lif-
ting or other purposes.
2. Only mount the chains on tires of the dimensions specified on the respective label of the package.
Chains fit new tires corresponding to the ETRTO standards mounted on adequate rims. Retrea-
ded tires are often larger and the perfect fit of the chains has to be checked in each case. If the
chain does not fit perfectly it must not be used. Check the inflation pressure according to the
instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. The air pressure must not be reduced before the moun-
ting and then increased again as this could lead to damage (breakage, cracks) of chain and tire
due to overtension.
3. Check the chains before use. If parts of the chain are damaged or broken the chain must not be
used. Do not mount chains worn by more than one half of the diameter of the wire, even if only
one link is affected.
4. Chains must always be mounted in pairs on an axle.
5. Read the mounting instructions carefully. Non-observance of the mounting instructions may result
in malfunctions of the chains and damage to the car and may increase the risk of accident.
6. Before using the car always check if the chains have been mounted correctly.
7. After a short driving distance (approx. 50 to 100 meters) the perfect and centric fit of the chains
has to be checked. Retension chains if necessary.
8. Tension the anti-skid-chains only as tight as necessary. Excessive tensioning may cause dama-
ge to chain and tire.
9. Make sure that after the mounting no part of the chain grazes parts of the vehicle.
10. On a surface completely covered with snow the driving speed should not exceed 50 km/h; drive
considerably slower if the road is partly free of snow.
11. Avoid spinning of the chains. Increased wear would lead to greater damage to the chain.
12. Check condition and wear of the chains during travel (at intervals of 20 km or after longer
periods of driving on roads free of snow).
E
13. Repairs of damaged chains and modifications to suit a different size should only be carried out
by qualified personnel.
14. Only use original spares for repairs.
