Frequently Asked Questions - 619-478 Hamron

How do I install the snow chains?

Lay the chains flat on the ground, drive onto them, then pull the chain over the tire. Connect the tightening mechanism and adjust evenly. After driving a short distance, re-tighten the chains for a snug fit.

How do I know if the chains fit my car tires?

Check your tire sidewall for size (e.g., 205/55 R16). The chains are compatible with tire widths from 175 to 235 mm and diameters from 14 to 17 inches. Consult your vehicle manual for recommended sizes.

Can I drive on bare pavement with chains installed?

No. Remove snow chains immediately when driving on clear, bare roads to avoid damage to the chains, tires, and road surface. They are designed for snow and ice only.

How should I maintain and store the chains?

After use, rinse with water to remove salt and dirt, dry thoroughly, and lightly lubricate moving parts with spray oil. Store in a dry place, away from moisture, inside the provided storage bag.

Are snow chains legal in my area?

Regulations vary by region. In many countries, snow chains are only permitted when snow or ice covers the road. Check local traffic laws and signage. Some areas require chains on certain roads in winter.

What is the maximum speed limit when using snow chains?

Do not exceed 50 km/h (31 mph) with chains fitted. Drive carefully and avoid sudden acceleration or braking. Refer to your vehicle manual for further speed recommendations.

How do I adjust the chains after initial installation?

Drive forward a few meters (about 50 m), then stop. Check the tension and re-tighten the chains by pulling the adjusting lever or strap until they fit snugly against the tire. Repeat if necessary.

Can I use the chains on the front wheels of my car?

Snow chains should be installed on the drive wheels of the vehicle. For front-wheel drive cars, install on the front; for rear-wheel drive, on the rear. On four-wheel drive, install on all four wheels if needed.

Are these chains suitable for trucks or SUVs?

The Hamron 619-478 chains are designed for standard passenger car tires. For larger vehicles like trucks or heavy SUVs, you need chains with higher load capacity and different dimensions. Always check compatibility.

What should I do if a chain breaks while driving?

Safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Remove the broken chain to avoid damage to the tire and undercarriage. If the chain cannot be repaired, replace it with a new one before continuing.

ASSEMBLY

MOUNTING

Unfold the chains on the ground with the yellow plastic end of the cable towards the left.

1. Unfold the chains on the ground with the yellow plastic end of the cable towards the left.
2. Pass the flexible cable (yellow plastic end first) behind the tyre from the left to the right.
3. Pull the flexible cable upwards so that the two steel ends can be fastened together.
4. Hook the outside flat green connector to the last link of the yellow chain end.
5. Push the flexible cable towards the interior of the wheel and make sure it is not on the tyre tread.
6. Pass the red chain into the red self-locking slide gear.
7. Thread the elastic tensioner into the red metal ring and then, by pulling it as far as possible, fasten the elastic tensioner into a link of the side chain.

REMOVING

1. Stop the vehicle so that the outside flat green hook is located at the top of the wheel for vehicles with rear-wheel drive and towards the front for vehicles with front-wheel drive.
2. Unhook the elastic tensioner and release the tensioning chain first from the red ring, then from the red slide gear.
3. Unfasten the cable and allow the chain to fall down to the ground. Move the vehicle enough to release the chain from beneath the tyre (for front-wheel drive vehicles it is advisable to turn the wheels to make unfastening the inside cable easier).

OPERATION

Before a journey, try to fit and remove the snow chains to make sure you are familiar with the procedure. - You must use the snow chains only as a means to improve traction and road-holding on snow or ice. - While driving with snow chains on do not forget that the vehicle will not respond in the same way to controls: do not accelerate or brake suddenly. - Do not exceed a speed of 50km/h with the chains on. - The side of the chain that touches the road surface is subjected to wear. Chains that are more than 30% worn must not be used. - Broken chains must be removed immediately to prevent damage to the vehicle. - After use, chains must be washed in warm water and left to dry before being stored in the plastic carrying case.

MAINTENANCE

After use, chains must be washed in warm water and left to dry before being stored in the plastic carrying case.
