TIRE CHAINS

WARNING:

Always practice installing new tire chains before you actually need them. Tire sizes can

vary by manufacturer therefore it is important to check for proper fit before the actual need

arises.

Tire chains are not to be used on snow tires.

Never exceed 30 MPH while the chains are installed. Accelerate slowly and evenly.

Avoid spinning your tires. The life of your chains will vary according to road conditions,

driving speed and individual driving habits.

The Following are some activities that can cause unnecessary wear to your tire chains:

• Locking your wheels when braking

• Driving on bare pavement that is not covered with snow or ice

• Hitting curbs

• Installing the chains improperly

Caution: Tire chains are designed only to provide extra traction in severe winter

weather emergencies. Drivers should always exercise caution and observe driving

conditions during hazardous weather. Please use good judgment in using this product.

In the event that a cross-chain should break, immediately pull off the road to a safe place

and remove, tie back, repair or replace the cross. Do not continue driving with a broken

cross.

These tire chains are designed to meet S.A.E. Class “S” clearance requirements.

Vehicle wheel-well clearance for traction devices is the responsibility of the automobile

manufacturer. Please refer to your vehicle's owner manual for more details.

Use tire chains only as a traction device. Do not use them for any other purpose,

including towing or lifting.

WARNING:

Park your vehicle off-road with the engine off and the emergency brake set

before installing, adjusting or removing your traction cables.

• If you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, turn the wheels to

make it easier to install your chains on the inner sidewalls of

the front wheels.

• Unroll and lay the chains on a flat surface. Straighten any

twists or tangles.

•If you are reinstalling used chains, carefully inspect them for

any broken or damaged links and components. Do not drive

with chains that are damaged.

• Make sure the raised ends of the cross-chain hooks (where

each cross chain joins the side chains) are facing up. When

the chains are installed, the raised ends of the cross-chain

hooks must face away from the tire's tread.

• Drape the tire chain over the top of the tire.

• As you look at the tire, the end of the chains with

the lever lock and hook attachments should be on the

side of the tire facing the rear of the car.

• The lever lock should rest on the outer sidewall.

• Again, check to be sure the cross-chain-hook ends

face out , away from the tire tread (C).

WARNING: You could damage your side walls if the

cross-chain hooks are not facing away from the tire tread.

• In order to bring the lever lock and hook to a

comfortable working height, tuck the first cross chain (at the

end of the chains without the lever lock and hook attachments)

under the tire and move your car slowly forward about a foot

until the lever lock roughly lines up with the axle (D).

• Be sure to turn off the engine and set the emergency brake

before you continue your installation.

First, secure the chains on the inner sidewall, or the back

side of the wheel.

• Pull the end of the side chain up to meet the hook attachment.

• Tighten the side chain to remove any slack and insert the hook into a side-chain link

so the side chain remains taught.

• Use only your hands to tighten the chains. You do not need to use any tools.

Now, begin working on the outer sidewall to fasten the

lever lock (E).

• Pull the end of the side chain up to meet the lever lock.

• Tighten the side chain to remove any slack, then thread the

lever lock through a link of the side chain so the chain remains

taught.

• Before closing the lever lock, take the last link of the excess

side chain (if any) and slip it over the end of the lever lock.

• Make sure the cross chains are centered over the tire tread.

• Count the excess side-chain links to be sure there are the

same number of extra links on both sidewalls.

• To close the lever lock, pull the free end up 180° toward

the top of wheel.

• Fasten the lever lock end into a link of the side chain so the

side chain remains taught.

The chain is now installed.

• Drive approximately 1/4 mile and re-tighten, repeating the

instructions in Steps 4, 5 and 6 above.

• To further adjust the fit of your chains, see your Peerless

dealer for Peerless chain tighteners (G).

• Excess links of the side-chains should be cut off or doubled

back and secured.

• Periodically re-tighten and adjust the slack in the chains,

following the instructions in Steps 4, 5 and 6 above.
