Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for the effective and safe operation of your tire chains. Follow these steps carefully. It is often easier to install the chains if the tire is slightly deflated.

1. Prepare the Tractor: Park your lawn tractor on a flat, level surface. Ensure the engine is off and the parking brake is engaged.
2. Inspeccionar les cadenes: Unfold each chain and lay it out flat. Ensure there are no twists or kinks in the chain links. Identify the inner and outer hooks.
3. Position the Chain: Drape the chain over the top of the tire, ensuring the cross chains are evenly spaced across the tire tread. The hooks should be on the inside and outside edges of the tire.
4. Deflate Tire (Optional but Recommended): For easier installation, you may partially deflate the tire. This will allow more slack for connecting the chain ends.
5. Connect Inner Hook: Reach around the back of the tire and connect the inner ends of the chain. Pull the chain as tight as possible.
6. Connect Outer Hook: Connect the outer ends of the chain. Again, pull the chain as tight as possible. You may need to use the last possible link to ensure a snug fit.
7. Inflate Tire (if deflated): If you deflated the tire, re-inflate it to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. This will help tighten the chains further.
8. Comprova l'ajustament: The chains should fit snugly around the tire with minimal slack. Drive the tractor a short distance (a few feet) and then re-check the tension. Adjust if necessary.
9. Repeat for Second Tire: Follow the same steps for the other rear tire.

Funcionament

Arnold tire chains are designed to provide superior traction in conditions where standard tires may slip. Use them when operating your lawn tractor in:

• Snowy or icy conditions.
• Muddy terrain.
• Steep inclines or uneven ground where additional grip is needed.

While chains significantly improve traction, always operate your lawn tractor with caution. Avoid excessive speed, sudden turns, or abrupt braking, as these can still lead to loss of control or damage to the chains or tires. Be aware that chains may leave marks on paved surfaces.

Manteniment

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Arnold tire chains and ensure their continued performance.

• Neteja: After each use, especially in corrosive environments (e.g., salt, mud), clean the chains thoroughly with water to remove dirt and debris.
• Assecat: Ensure the chains are completely dry before storage to prevent rust, even though they are stainless steel.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect the chains for any signs of wear, damage, or loose links. Replace any severely worn or broken links.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the chains in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A plastic container or bag can help keep them organized and protected.

Resolució de problemes

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your tire chains:

Chains are Difficult to Install:

• Solució: Partially deflate the tire before installation. This provides more slack, making it easier to connect the chain ends. Re-inflate the tire after the chains are in place to tighten them.
• Solució: Ensure the chains are laid out flat and untwisted before attempting to drape them over the tire.

Chains Feel Loose After Installation:

• Solució: Drive the tractor a short distance (e.g., 10-20 feet) to allow the chains to settle, then re-check the tension and tighten the hooks to the tightest possible link.
• Solució: Consider using chain tensioners (bungee cords or rubber adjusters, sold separately) to maintain optimal tightness.

Chains are Making Excessive Noise or Vibrating:

• Solució: This often indicates loose chains. Re-tighten them as described above.
• Solució: Ensure the cross chains are evenly distributed across the tire tread.
