Setup und Installation

Follow these steps for correct installation of your KÖNIG snow chains:

1. Vorbereitung: Park your lorry on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. If possible, wear gloves for protection.
2. Auspacken und auslegen: Remove the snow chains from their packaging and lay them out on the ground in front of the drive wheel. Ensure there are no twists or tangles in the chain. The flexible internal cable should be visible.
3. Positionierung: Slide the flexible internal cable behind the tire, ensuring it emerges on both sides of the tire. Connect the two ends of the internal cable at the top of the tire.
4. Draping the Chain: Drape the main chain mesh over the tire, ensuring it covers the tread evenly. The colored connection points should be accessible on the outer side of the tire.
5. Connecting Outer Links: Connect the main outer chain links according to the instructions provided with your specific chain model. This usually involves hooking a tensioning chain into a specific link.
6. Spannen: Pull the tensioning chain to tighten the snow chain around the tire. Ensure the chain is snug and centered. Some KÖNIG models feature an automatic tensioning system; if so, follow its specific instructions.
7. Initial Drive and Re-tension: Drive your lorry slowly for approximately 100 meters (about 330 feet). Stop and re-check the tension of the chains. Re-tension if necessary, as chains can loosen slightly after initial movement.
8. Für die anderen Räder wiederholen: Install chains on all required drive wheels.
