Is it effective to install snow chains when driving in rainy mud? How to install them?

It is effective to install snow chains when driving in rainy mud or snowy days.

The installation method is as follows:

Lift the driving wheel on one side of the vehicle with a jack (the installation method without a jack will be introduced later). Spread the rubber snow chains and lay them flat under the wheels. Immediately, the two ends of the snow chain are lifted to meet above the wheel, so that the snow chain is wrapped on the wheel

. Note: The side with the metal hook faces outward.

hook the inside hook of the snow chain with both hands and the inside of the wheel.

3. Pull out the snow chain net by hand on the outside (many people will say that the hook on the outside is very difficult to hang, because the snow chain moves inside when hanging the hook on the inside, resulting in a larger diameter on the outside). If necessary, you can press your foot against the wheel and try hard. Don't worry that the snow chain is broken, and the rubber snow chain is not so fragile.

4. This is what it looks like when it is finished. You can see that the outer hook has not been hung. The next step is to hang the outer hook.

5. Take out the rubber side rope from the packing box. A pair of side ropes is composed of three rubber ropes with different thicknesses and very strong elasticity, so that the rubber snow chains can be tightly wrapped around the wheels during driving. A metal hook on the side rope, hook the hook to both ends of the snow chain. Note: Turn the opening of the hook outward, never inward, or your tire will be out of luck.

6. At this time, we can install the side rope. First, install the thinnest side rope (using the installation wrench will make you more labor-saving), and pay attention to the diagonal direction, so that the tension of the rubber rope can be evenly distributed. A thin side rope is as easy to install as a rubber band (though hard, don't be afraid to break it, its elasticity and strength are beyond your imagination), just pull it on each outer hook.

7. Install the heel rope with medium thickness. The installation method is the same as the previous step, which may be a little more laborious than the thin one. Don't be afraid to break it!

8. finally install the thickest heel rope, and the installation method is the same as above.

9. After installation, check: 1. Whether the inner and outer joint hooks are installed properly. 2. Whether the side rope and all hooks on the outside are hung up. 3. Whether there is contact between the rubber snow chains and the car body. 4. Whether the clearance between the wheel flange and the chain body is generally equal or not, and whether there is eccentricity. 5. Test run for 1 meters to see if it is normal.

1. Using the jack together will make the installation more convenient. If there is no jack, then in the first step, first spread the snow chains on the ground, in front of the wheels, and then slowly move the vehicle and straddle the wheels in the middle of the rubber snow chains. Other steps are the same as above!

Precautions:

On the frozen walkway, in order to prevent the tires from slipping, step on the accelerator lightly and climb the slope at a constant speed.

if there is any abnormal sound during driving, stop the vehicle immediately for inspection.
