FITTING
After removing the chains from the case, check that the tensioning handle is in the «Open» position.
1
Fit the chain onto the wheel as shown by pushing it as far as possible against the sidewall of the tyre.
2
Separate the universal nut (shown in blue in the diagram) from the fitting wrench by pressing the metal
tab (shown in green in the diagram).
3
Fit the universal nut onto one of the wheel nuts. Align the 6 sides of the universal nut with the 6 sides
of the wheel nut.
IMPORTANT: do not fasten the universal nut onto a lock nut or a wheel nut cap
4
Tighten the universal nut securely using the built-in hexagonal wrench.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a torque wrench or a cordless screwdriver.
5
Press the metal tab and push the fitting wrench onto the universal nut as far as possible, until the tab
returns to the raised position. You will hear a «CLICK» when the metal tab returns to its initial position.
IMPORTANT: Position the fitting w ench as shown below,
so that the tensioning cable is in the centre of the wheel.
6
Lift the tensioning handle to the «ADJUST» position.
7
Adjust the serrated knob until the cable is tight.
8
Move the tensioning handle to the «LOCKED» position.
If excessive force is required to lock it, this means that the cable is too tight. Loosen it using the
serrated knob to adjust the cable tension.
9
Move the vehicle slowly to turn the wheels 1/2 turn (the tyres must not slip).
Finish positioning the tread surface on top of the tyre and around the wheel.
6
Repeat operations
ATTENTION: For optimum use, some tyre sizes require for the circumference of the chain to be adapted.
This is achieved by adding tensioning staples if the chain is too slack (if you can pass your hand between the
tyre and the tread band) or by removing tensioning staples if the chain is a little too taut and cannot be
assembled.
AUTOMATIC FITTING :
When next used on the same tyres, you should not need to adjust the tension, the
chain will position itself on the wheel automatically when you drive. You may skip from
assembly step to step

10
Move the tensioning handle to the locked position, the chain is fitted correctly. After a short distance
(approximately 50 - 100 metres) stop the vehicle to verify that the cable is tight and that the chain is
correctly in position on the tyre. If the chain is too slack (you can pass your hand between the tyre
and the tread band), add an extra tensioning staple.
The fitting is complet ... You may now drive in complete safety. Maximum speed 50 kph.
IMPORTANT: Before parking the vehicle for any prolonged periods, remove the chains so that
they do not freeze onto the tyres, which would make them harder to remove.
