pewag 24797, Mounting Instruction

Mounting

Spread out the chains in front of or behind the tires with the 
tension lever, depositing spring and tension chain looking 
outwards. Put the mounting rope transversely on the middle top 
of the tire. Hook the traction chain into the mounting hooks. 

For mounting without mounting rope, hold the traction chain 
by the inside chain, raise the chain, push it backwards and 
distribute it uniformly on the tire.

Slowly drive approx. a full turn of the wheel (1/4 when mounting 
without mounting rope). In this process, the chain will fit on the 
tire. Loose the tracton chain by unhooking the rings or mounting 
hooks. Remove the mounting rope. 

Close the side chains – start with the inner side of the wheel, 
then continue with the outer side of the wheel and finally hook 
the ends of the chains on the tread (3a). 

Attention:

 Make sure that the chain legs are not twisted.

Tighten the tension chain on the outer side of the wheel and 
hook the tension lever into the closest link of the tension chain. 
Secure the tension lever with the link.

Hang the loose chain end with depositing spring into the side 
chain.

Demounting

See picture:

Unhook the depositing spring.

Open the tension lever, loose the tension chain.

Open the locking hooks (start with the inner side of the 
wheel). Take off the chains.

Maintenance

After each use, make sure that the chains are dried quickly. 
Clean dirty chains with hot water and dry them. Highly corroded 
chains are to be re-galvanized.

Regular inspections of the chain state

Turn round the chains when the material of one side of the chain 
link is worn by 1/3 of the material cross-section.
