Usual quick-assembly without mounting cable
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 chain.
3. Further mounting like mounting with mounting cable, point 3, 4.
Mounting anti-skid chain with mounting cable
1. Spread out chain in front of or behind the tire and arrange properly. Tension lever,
tension spring and tension chain outward! Put mounting cable 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 onto the chain, thereby pulling the
chain onto the tire. Loosen anti-skid chain by unhooking the rings and/or moun-
ting hook. Remove mounting cable.
3. Connect side chain on the inner side of the wheel, hook closing hook into the link
or ring - then repeat the procedure on the outside of the wheel.
Note: Check after connection: chain strands must not be twisted.
4. Tighten tension chain on the outside of the wheel and insert tension lever into the
next link of the tension chain. Secure tension lever with the ring. Hang loose chain
end into the side chain.
Note for dual chains
Mounting and demounting is carried out in the same order as with pewag single chains.
Note: If it is difficult to hook in the closing hook when mounting the dual chain, e.g. in
the case of thick-studded tires, the vehicle should be moved forward or backward
approx. one wheel's turn so that the chain mesh is properly arranged before hooking
in the central hook.
Handling: With dual chains the middle guide chain must be closed by redirecting
and/or hooking the hook into the guide chain.
Demounting of anti-skid chains
– Unhook tension spring
– Open tension lever
– Loosen tension chain
– Loosen closing hook (starting on the outside of the wheel)
– Pull chain off of the wheel
