Setup und Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your snow chains. It is highly recommended to practice installation in a safe environment before encountering adverse weather conditions.
Sicherheitsvorkehrungen:
- Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations regarding snow chain use, including tire size compatibility and clearance.
- Install chains on the drive wheels of your vehicle. For 4x4 vehicles, refer to your vehicle manual.
- Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, safe surface, with the parking brake engaged.
- Wear gloves to protect your hands during installation.
Installationsschritte:
- Vorbereitung: Unpack the snow chains and lay them out on the ground. Ensure there are no twists or tangles in the chain links. Identify the colored connection points, if present.
- Positionierung: Drape the chain over the top of the tire, ensuring the chain is centered. The main chain section should be on the tread, and the side chains should hang down evenly on both sides of the tire.
- Connecting the Inner Cable: Reach behind the tire and connect the two ends of the flexible inner cable. This forms a loop around the back of the tire.
- Connecting the Outer Hooks: Bring the chain ends around the front of the tire. Connect the main tensioning chain or hooks on the outer side of the tire. Follow the specific instructions provided with your KÖNIG T9 chains for the exact connection mechanism.
- Spannen: Pull the tensioning chain or lever to tighten the snow chain securely around the tire. Ensure the chain is snug and evenly distributed. There should be minimal slack.
- Prüfen und anpassen: Drive your vehicle a short distance (approximately 10-20 meters) at a slow speed. Stop and re-check the tension of the chains. Re-tension if necessary, as chains can loosen slightly after initial movement.

Bedienungsanleitung
Once installed, observe the following guidelines for safe operation with snow chains:
- Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung: Do not exceed a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) when driving with snow chains. Exceeding this speed can cause damage to the chains, tires, and vehicle, and may lead to loss of control.
- Fahrbedingungen: Use snow chains only on roads covered with snow or ice. Driving on bare asphalt can severely damage the chains and the road surface.
- Smooth Driving: Avoid sudden acceleration, harsh braking, or sharp turns. Drive smoothly and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Regelmäßige Kontrollen: Periodically check the tension and condition of the chains during long journeys. Re-tension if they become loose.
- Entfernung: Remove the snow chains immediately when you reach roads clear of snow and ice.
Wartung
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your KÖNIG T9 Snow Chains and ensures their reliability.
- Reinigung: After each use, thoroughly clean the chains with warm water to remove all salt, dirt, and debris.
- Trocknen: Dry the chains completely before storage to prevent rust. You can hang them or lay them flat in a dry area.
- Inspektion: Before storing and before each use, inspect the chains for any signs of wear, damage, or broken links. Replace damaged chains immediately.
- Lagerung: Store the chains in their original packaging or a suitable bag in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
