and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-

vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.

Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as

possible and then retighten after driving about
