SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
1. Accuracy in Fitting
The correct size adjustment of the SPIKES-SPIDER and the SPI-
KES-SPIDER ADAPTER are mandatory for accuracy in fitting and
function of the product. Only original parts are permitted for the
configuration. SPIKES-SPIDER needs to be mounted on the driven
wheels. For four wheel drive vehicles preferably on the front
wheels. In any case, the instruction manual of the manufacturer
of your vehicle must be followed when using snow chains.
We recommend to check the correct size adjustment of the
SPIKES-SPIDER after approx. 10 km and to readjust if necessary.
This should be done approximately every 50 km afterwards.
2. Legal Guidelines
The maximum speed for SPIKES-SPIDER is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Please also refer to the legal rules for anti skid devices or snow
chains of the respective country. The included hub cover should
be mounted on the adapter plate while driving without the chain.
3. Tire Pressure
Please obey the prescribed tire pressure for your vehicle in order
to minimize the wear of your SPIKES-SPIDER and to prevent
possible damages resulting from wrong tire pressure.

4. Longer braking distance
Keep in mind that driving characteristics of your vehicle change
when driving with snow chains. The braking distance of the car is
getting longer on snow covered or icy roads. The wheels without
traction device react differently to the ones with.
5. Starting on Ice and Snow
Please start moving carefully with SPIKES-SPIDER and avoid spin-
ning wheels.
6. General Instructions
Avoid spinning wheels (especially on gratings) and do not drive
on curbs etc.. Please note that, in case of a standstill of one wheel,
the rotation of the other unblocked wheel is twice as high as the
speedometer states! High centrifugal forces may lead to damages.
Reduce speed with your SPIKES-SPIDER also when wheel clearan-
ce is very narrow.
The wear rate of the components is much higher when driving
on bare pavement, adversely affecting the life of the product.
Take advantage of the fast mounting and
fast removal of the SPIKES-SPIDER. Remove the SPIKES-SPIDER as
soon as possible, in a safe location, when bare road conditions are
encountered unless otherwise instructed by law enforcement
officials or road signs.
