How to Install UTV/ATV Tire Chains: User Guide

Lay the chains flat on the ground and remove all tangles

When the chains are placed on the tires, the V-bars should face out, and the cross-chain hook eyes must face up. Damage to your tires could result if the V-bar or hooks face against the tires.

Lay the UTV Tire Chains over the tire

Ensuring that the cross-chain hook eyes are facing up and the fastener is on the outside of the tire. Tuck the first cross-chain (side chain ends without fasteners) under the tire.

Move the UTV until the fastener is axle high.

Fasten the INSIDE hook

Fasten the INSIDE hook to the corresponding link of the INNER side to allow the cross-chain to lie straight across the tire tread.

Make the chain as tight as possible by hand without using tools. These tips will significantly prolong the chain life. Drive approximately 1/4 mile, stop, and retighten the chains.
