Troubleshooting
Chains do not fit tire properly
Confirm that your tire size is listed within the compatible range. Ensure you are routing the chain correctly around the tire.
Chains feel loose after installation
Chain tighteners are required for a secure fit and are sold separately. Install appropriate tighteners to remove slack.
Equipment still slips after chain installation
Ensure chains are correctly sized and taut. Check that they are not installed upside down or incorrectly linked. Verify that the tire size is within the specified range for these chains.
Chains are difficult to connect
Try adjusting the position of the tire or equipment to gain better access. Ensure no kinks or tangles are present in the chain links before attempting connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that your snow blower or garden tractor tires match one of the supported sizes: 4.10x3.50x6, 12x3.25, 12x4x6, 12.25x3.50, or 4.10x3.50x8.
Setup:
- Unpack the pair of chains.
- Loosely drape each chain over a tire, ensuring the two-link spacing is correctly positioned for traction.
- Ensure the chain crosses the tread of the tire.
- Connect the ends of the chain on the inside and outside of the tire. It's recommended to fit the chains when the tires are off the ground if possible, or with the engine off and parking brake engaged.
- Once connected, roll the equipment slightly to adjust the chain position.
- *Crucially*, use a chain tightener (sold separately) to ensure the chains are taut against the tire. Loose chains can be ineffective and potentially damage the equipment or the chains themselves.
- Double-check that the chains are securely fastened and do not interfere with any moving parts of the equipment.
Care: After use, especially after exposure to salt or chemicals, rinse the chains with plain water. Allow them to dry completely before storing to prevent rust. Store the chains in a dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a dedicated bag.
