Customer Information

It is absolutely necessary to adjust the chain before first use. As a
result mounting is easier in the course of winter conditions. Smooth
and quick mounting is possible only when chain is optimally
adapted to tire and rim.

Chain Adjustment to the
Dimension (Prepare A)
For some tire sizes an adjustment of the chain dimension is
necessary. Check your tire dimension, look for it in the
setup table at the end, and remove, if necessary, the specified
number of adjustment elements (yellow) with enclosed tools as
shown in the figure.
Explanation: ok = no adjustment necessary, -1 = remove 1
element, -2 = remove 2 elements etc.
For removing 2 or 4 elements, always remove the opposite

elements. Keep the removed parts –this chain can be reused for
other tire dimension.
and non-binding and are results of tests and our experience.
Therefore, a fitting test before the first use is urgently
recommended.
Check the fit of the chain after approx. 50 m. Readjust if needed
(remove more adjustment elements if the chain does NOT pull
automatically on the tire).
Adapter Adjustment (Prepare B)
To adjust the adapter, remove the wheel cover and wheel nut caps.
Remove any dirt, snow or ice. Move the slide switch of the ratchet
to the "open" position and pull out the cable on which the adapter
is fixed. To do this, move the slide switch as much as possible in
the direction"open". After that, move it slightly back in direction
"drive" and then you can move it to the end of direction "open".
Now check whether the pre-assembled adapter fits onto the wheel
nut. If the adapter touches the rim as shown in figure 2, the adapter
has to be elongate (see fig. 4-6).As a basic principle: screw the
adapter as close as possible to the rim (see fig. 1) without touching
it. End of adjustment.
Fig. 3a: The hexagon of the clamp has to be pushed completely
through the opening of the sleeve. So the clamp can be
fastened correctly to the wheel nut.
