CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Because of restricted chain clearance between tires
and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.
Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as
possible and then retighten after driving about

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions
on the method of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use the lower
suggested operating speed of the chain manufac-
turer if different from the speed recommended by
the manufacture.
