How to put a chain

To increase the cargo of the machine in the conditions of loose snow, viscous dirt, ice, sand, gravel, use automobile chains of anti-skid. So the question arises: how to install them?

The range of anti-slip chains is very diverse - "honeycomb", "rhombus", "Lenky", as well as the material of their manufacture - plastic, metal cable, etc. The main chain selection criterion is rigidity. One set includes a circuit pair, as it is assumed to install the chains only on the drive wheels. Professionals advise to use the chains right in front of a difficult cut, and then shoot. This will protect the tires and chains from wear. If the path is not close to a difficult cut, but in front of it the asphalt road, it is not recommended to install the chains at the beginning of the path. The speed of movement with chains according to the recommendations is 50 km / h.

The kit is spread before the car. Carefully inspect the detachable chains for twisting. If the chain races occur, eliminate them through the jumpers.

Further it is recommended to throw the chain on the wheel and pick up the hook. It is located on the longitudinal inside of the chain for the opposite end. Distribute jumpers. The hook-lock must be picked up for the longitudinal outer chain and pull the design. Ensure again in the absence of twisters, exactly distribution. Button lock, stuck the ring of the hook between the tire and the chain.

If the tension is not large, you need to repeat the action, taped the hook for the second or third chain ring. To achieve a certain force of tension, it is allowed to drive a little with a mounted chain and pull it out again. For complete confidence in the chain lock, it is possible to wind it with a wire. S-shaped locks are often needed in this, which are closed on a four or hex key, because they often have disclosure. Do not forget to check the installation of the installation again. With an incorrect installation there is a chance of damage to ABS sensors, brake system and shrinks.

The chains are increasing the driver's confidence on the road, but do not protect them from entering unpleasant situations. For the fence from road negative, it is necessary to significantly adjust (secure) driving techniques and be the most concentrated and careful.
