• Avoid sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns when chains are installed.
• Remove chains immediately when driving on clear, non-snowy, or non-icy roads to prevent damage to the chains, tires, and road surface.
• Ensure chains are properly tensioned after installation and re-tensioned after driving a short distance (approx. 100 meters).
• Check tire pressure before installing chains.
• Do not use chains on damaged tires.

Configuração e instalação

The pewag RSC 850 SERVOSTAR is designed for quick and easy installation from the outside of the wheel.

Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle and Chains

Park your vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Lay out the snow chain, ensuring it is untangled and free of twists. Identify the red-marked components, which are crucial for mounting.

Step 2: Attach the Central Mechanism

Position the central attachment mechanism onto the original wheel nut or bolt. The system is designed to securely fasten without requiring access to the inner side of the wheel. Ensure the mechanism is firmly seated.

Step 3: Connect the Chain Segments

Once the central mechanism is secured, connect the chain segments around the tire. The system's design allows for easy connection of the chain links from the outside. Follow the instructions provided with your specific model for connecting the various points around the tire.

Step 4: Tension the Chains

The patented pewag servo ratchet technology automatically tensions the chains. After initial installation, drive a short distance (approximately 100 meters or 300 feet) at a low speed. Stop and check the chains for proper tension and fit. If necessary, make any minor adjustments. The system is designed to maintain optimal tension during use.
