Quality Chain Diamond Pattern Mounting and Cut Down - Manual

Step #1
(See figure 1) Lay chain out behind the tire.
Step #2
(See figure 2A & 2B) Attach rope to both side chains next to the fasteners
Step #3
(See figure 3) Put rope over the tire between the lugs.
Step #4
(See figure 4A & 4B) Drive machine forward pulling chain onto the tire
Step #5
(See figure 5A & 5B) Continue driving the chain onto the tire until the ends either meet
or overlap
Step #6
(See figure 5B & 5C) If the chain ends overlap you will need to cut the chain down for a
proper fit.
Step #7
(See figure 6A – 6F) Using a felt pin or paint, mark the links that will need to be cut to
remove the excess amount of chain
NOTE; If your diamond pattern chain has rings on the fastener end of the chain be
sure to mark and remove the rings as well (See figure 7A & 7B)
Step #8
(See figure 8A – 10) Remove the chain from the tire to make your cuts and remove the
excess chain and repeat steps 1 - 4
Step #9
(See figure 11A – 11C) After cutting off excess chain and remounting, use the provided
pin coupler shackles and hook the center pattern together
Step #10
(See figure 12) Pound roll pins through the pin coupler shackles to hold them in place
Step #11
(See figure 13A & 13B) After securing the center pattern move to the inside of the tire
and secure the inside fastener taking out as much slack in the chain as possible
Step #12
(See figure 14A & 14B) After securing the inside fastener move to the outside of the tire
and secure the outside fastener taking out as much slack in the chain as possible
Step #13
(See figure 15) After securing you center patterns and side chain fasteners, begin taking
out the remaining slack in the chain by pulling the pull chain as tight as possible
