Safety requirements
1. Accuracy in Fitting
The correct size adjustment of the SPIKES-SPIDER and the SPIKES-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 wheels 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 adjust-
ment 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 respecttive 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 spinning 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 unblok-
ked 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 clea-
rance 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.
7. Replacement of SPIKES-SPIDER parts
The individual parts of the SPIKES-SPIDER are subject to wear out even when used properly and need to be replaced at given time. Please ask your local dealer for
original replacement parts.
8. Storage and Maintenance of the SPIKES-SPIDER
Clean the SPIKES-SPIDER with warm water after use and store it at room temperature. Do not stress or deform the synthetic components heavily.
9. Liability
Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable to purchaser or any other person for any special or consequential damage arising out of improper installa-
tion and / or use of our products.
