Installation Park vehicle on firm level ground and turn off the engine. Set the parking brake. Lay the chains out flat on the ground, making sure there are no twists or tangles. Make sure the cross chain hooks are facing upward, then drape chain over the tire, so that one cross chain is positioned at the point where the tire meets the ground. Again make sure the cross chain hooks are facing upward. Hooks that face down (towards the tire) will cause damage to the tire.
