Either chain may be used for either tire.

Position the side chain with the
fingertip hook to go on the
inside of the tire (toward body of
the machine/vehicle). As a
result, the side chain with the
outside fastener will then be
positioned to go on the outside
of the tire.
1 Lay chain straight
with the open sides of
the cross chain hooks
facing up. The open
sides of the cross chain
hooks must be facing
away from the tire
when the chain is
installed. Make sure all
twists are out of the
chain assembly.

2 Grasping the middle of the inside fastener side
chain, lift and drape the chain assembly over the tire,
making sure the open ends of the cross chain hooks are
facing away from the tire. Tuck the loose chain ends
under the tire, then move the machine/vehicle forward
slightly to be able to work with the fasteners.
3 Fasten the fingertip hook (inside fastener) by hooking
it to the second or third link of side chain.
4 Pull chain snug and connect the outside fastener to
its side chain the same number of links back from the end
as the inside connection. Fold fastener back and under
the side chain as pictured below. You will probably need
pliers to do it.
Once both fasteners are connected, chain assembly must
be snug on tire. Advance fasteners on each side chain
the same number of links until chain is sufficiently and
evenly tight on tire. See front cover picture for proper
chain fit. Remove or tie down all unused links once chain
is satisfactorily tight.
5 Repeat previous steps for other tire.
To get maximum wear and years of use
from your Peerless “MaxTrac” tire chains
follow these simple tips:
1 Avoid rapid acceleration: spinning tires cause
rapid wear on cross chains.
2 If the chains are installed properly they should be
snug with the cross chains at right angles to the side
chain. Adjust inside and outside fasteners so that
side chains are evenly tightened. The side chains
should be centered on the circumference of the tire.
