Security Chain Co (SCC) Z-Chain - Manual (Page 2)

To secure the free ends of the cable,
slide the plastic spirals over them
with a twisting motion. If insufficient cable
is available for plastic
spirals to secure, “tuck”
the short end up next
to the cross member
anchor points, as shown.
Repeat this process with the gold
adjustment fastener. Ensure that
both fasteners are adjusted within one bead
of each other. Move the vehicle a few feet.
Remove cable “slack” by retightening both
adjustment points as equally as possible.
Grasp the outside cable with both
hands and pull it toward you to create
as much slack as possible. Connect the top
fastener (the red one) as tightly as possible
by inserting the silver “beads” on the cable
through the keyhole.
Reach around each side of the tire
and grasp both ends of the non-split
side cable (that is furthest away from you).
Pull both ends to the top of the tire so the
fasteners can be seen and manipulated
more easily. Connect the inside fastener.
Move the chain is a sweeping motion
under the vehicle so the open mid-
section is positioned up against the backside
of the tire. This sweeping motion can best be
done while kneeling in front of the tire.
Park vehicle on firm, level ground
and away from the flow of traffic.
Set the emergency brake. Chains should
be installed on drive wheels. Lay the cable
chain on the ground with the smooth side
(TIRE SIDE) of the crossmember hooks up.
Installation
Removal
Drive vehicle off highway to safe level ground. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake. Unhook the red outside fastener then the
inside fastener. Lay the chain on the ground and drive off of it. Examine the chains for damage or worn parts. Dry off and spray with an
all-purpose lubricant. Roll chains together and place back in package.
CAUTION:
All winter traction products will wear out with extended use. They can also
break due to misfit, misapplication or misuse. If this should occur, stop immediately and
remove the chain. If these cautions are ignored, SCC, and it’s distributors are not responsible for
injury or vehicle damage.
