Security Chain Co (SCC) Super Z8 - Manual (Page 2)

Attach the rubber tensioner to take up
the additional slack. To make this
simpler, attach the first hook at the “6 o’clock”
position, the next at the “12 o’clock” position
and so forth. The open side of the hooks
must face away from the tire. No further
adjustment is necessary.
Connect the bottom fastener. In
order to close the outside fasteners,
the opposing ends must be at an angle of
approximately 30° to each other.
Grasp the outside cable with both
hands and pull it toward you to
create as much slack as possible. Connect
the top fastener.
Reach around each side of the tire
and grasp both ends of the non-split
cable (the 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 in a sweeping
motion under the vehicle so the
open mid-section is positioned 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,
away from traffic and turn off the
engine. Set the emergency brake. Remove
any wheel covers. Chains should be installed
on drive tires. 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. Remove the rubber tensioner from the side
cable. Unhook the outside and inside fasteners. 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, mis-
application or misuse. If this should occur, stop immediately and remove the chain. Care should be taken when
using this product on wheels or wheel covers that protrude outward beyond the sidewall of the tire. Wheel covers
should be removed to prevent possible markings made by rubber tensioners. On vehicles with protruding alloy wheels,
other traction products that do not use a rubber tensioner (such as SCC’s Z-Chain or ladder-style cable products) should
be used. If these cautions are ignored, SCC and it’s distributors are not responsible for injury or vehicle damage.
