After the purchase, and prior to using the snow chain, adjust it as shown in the following chapter.

Certain vehicles may be equipped with nut caps. Before you install the snow chain, make sure you take them off, removing any snow or ice

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE “U-ADAPT” FIXING SYSTEM

Thanks to the U-Adapt device, it’s nomore required to replace the lug-nut adapters preinstalled on the chain. The U-Adapt device is compatible with 17- 24mm hex-headed wheel nuts/bolts.

To widen the teeths of the U-Adapt, turn anticlock-wise the screw (A) until the teeths reach a diameter compatible with the hex head. Place the U-Adapt as deep as possible on the lug nut/bolt and fasten with the supplied K-Lock tool until the Click.

Prior to fastening, ensure the 6 U-Adapt teeths are correctly indexed with the 6 nut facets.

CHECK THE PRE-MOUNTED SPACER WITH THE VEHICLE’S WHEEL

These instructions are for general information purposes and are not binding, as variations may occur. Carry out a fitting test before starting your journey to ensure that the chain, when properly adjusted, is correctly positioned on the tyre. With M+S tyres or in case the chain is not correctly positioned on the tyre after 300mt driving, it may be necessary to remove one more part than shown here.

Fitting

Open the arms of the chain, grab them at 10:10 as shown in the picture (1), position the two upper arms on the tyre, make sure the upper plastic plates adhere to the sidewall of the tyre, then join the lower arms of the snow chain as shown in the figure (2). (The bottom plates cannot be positioned on the tyre tread since the tyre is resting on the ground (3).

Insert the tool on the screw hex head and torque until the tool clicks. Check that after screwing the red arrow is directed towards the center of the wheel.

K-Summit will lay on the tyre during driving.
