How to use anti-skid chains on the hottest icy roa

How to use snow chains on icy roads

anti slip chains are generally made of steel chains or rubber chains, which have anti slip function. According to the structure, the anti-skid chains can be divided into two types: one is the anti-skid chains that have been connected into a cover shape; The other is the cross installation of several separate anti-skid chains, which is relatively simple and cheap, but the installation is not as convenient as the former

the heavy snow in many parts of the country comes as scheduled, which not only brings us beautiful scenery in winter, but also adds a lot of trouble to our daily travel. It is easier to freeze after snowflakes. When cars are driving on the road, they need to put on anti-skid chains

the principle of the anti-skid chain is to concentrate the gravity of the vehicle on several points of the iron chain, generate huge pressure, and roll through the ice and snow layer to the road surface, so as to increase the friction and increase the safety factor of the vehicle. At present, the types of anti-skid chains on the market include metal anti-skid chains, TPU anti-skid chains, rubber anti-skid chains, etc. there are many kinds of anti-skid chains, one is the anti-skid chains that have been connected into a cover; The other is the installation of several individual snow chains, which is relatively simple and cheap, but the installation is not as convenient as the former

when installing snow chains, first confirm whether your car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive, because the chains must be installed on the group of tires that play a major role. In particular, it should be noted that anti slip chains should be installed on both front wheels (rear wheels) at the same time. Do not use anti slip chains on only one wheel, which is easy to damage the automatic transmission. In addition, the anti-skid chains also have size restrictions, which are suitable for different wheel hub sizes and tire widths. Pay attention to choosing the anti-skid chains that match the wheel size. After installing anti slip chains, the driving speed is generally not more than 50 kilometers per hour. When driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp forward, sharp turning and continuous idling. When driving on non ice and snow roads, avoid walking on substances with sharp edges and dry roads that are not good for driving. When the vehicle drives into the road without using snow chains, it should be removed in time

how to install snow chains

lift the driving wheel on one side of the vehicle with a jack. Unfold and lay the rubber snow chains under the wheels. Then lift the two ends of the anti-skid chain to meet above the wheel, so that the anti-skid chain is wrapped on the wheel. Hook the inner hook of the snow chain with both hands on the inner side of the wheel. Pull the anti slip chain out by hand on the outside. Take out the rubber side rope, a pair of side ropes is composed of three rubber ropes, and the third error is the fixed value; There is another advantage of not taking the valley error. The thickness is different, and the elasticity is very strong, so that the rubber anti-skid chain can be tightly wrapped on the wheel during driving

first install the thinnest side rope, and pay attention to the installation from the diagonal direction, so that the tension of the rubber rope can be evenly distributed and pulled on each outer hook. Install the side rope of medium thickness. The installation method is the same as the previous steps, which may be slightly more laborious than the thin one

check after installation: whether the inner and outer joint hooks are installed properly; Whether all hooks between the side rope and the outside are hung properly; Whether there is contact between the rubber anti-skid chain and the vehicle body; Whether the gap between the wheel flange and the chain body is roughly equal, and whether there is eccentricity; Test drive 100 meters to see if it is normal

how to disassemble

the real snow chains should not only ensure effective driving and braking, but also prevent side slip. Some people say that snow chains are useless, which is wrong. Anti slip chains are very useful, especially on snow roads compacted by car tires. In some developed countries, there are corresponding laws, regulations or suggestions on the use of anti-skid chains, which are bought with the property loss, blood and life of many people, and are worth learning from. After installing anti-skid chains, the driving speed is generally not more than 50 kilometers per hour. When driving, avoid the behaviors that have been widely used in various safety lampshades, signal lights, sudden braking, sharp forward, sharp turning and continuous idling. When the vehicle drives into the road without anti slip chains, it should be removed in time

the road is frozen after snow, so employees should slow down and control a safe distance from the car in front. Concentrate on driving and pay attention to the road conditions, so that you can take off the upper cover of the reducer and take timely response measures according to the road conditions. Be sure to fasten your seat belt when driving

finally, I would like to remind you once again that for your own safety and the happiness of your family, please be careful when you travel! Safety first
