All the illustrations in this guide
show the RUD easy2go. However,
all the tting steps and instructions
also apply to the easy2go plus
model.
FITTING
All the steps are clearly summa-
rized again in the practical Quick
Guide. Its plastic foil also provides
something to kneel on while tting
the chains.
Do you own a four-wheel drive
vehicle? Its instruction manual will
state on which axle (front or back)
the snow chains should be tted.
A neatly laid out chain makes tting
easier.
Leading with the orange-coloured
ring end (1), pull your chain round
behind the wheel.
The ring (2) should then lie near
the back of the tyre.
Take both ends of the ring and pull
them up around the tyre tread.

Now, on the upper part of the
wheel, hook the orange hook (4)
into the eyelet (5). This is easier if
you pull the orange chain a little out
of the ratchet (6). To do this, press
the orange knob.
Slide the wire hoop over the tread
until it lies on the back of the tyre.
The back view on the right shows
the wire hoop lying correctly on the
inner sidewall of the tyre, which
cannot be seen from the front.
Now hook the connecting pieces
(3) together.
The close-up view on the right
shows how the wire hoop looks
when connected.

Now you just have to hook the two
eyelets (9) into the plastic hook of
the rubber tensioner (10).
Please ensure that the chain mesh
is lying evenly spread over the
outer sidewall of the tyre.
Your easy2go automatically re-
tightens during your journey.
Have a pleasant journey!
Now, on the lower part of the
wheel, hook the grey hook (7) into
the eyelet (8). Once again, this is
easier if you pull the orange chain
a little out of the ratchet. To do this,
press the knob.

REMOVAL
On a front-wheel drive, the orange
hook (4) should be about level with
the axle. It is easier to remove the
chain if you turn the hook-side of
the wheel outwards.
To remove the snow chains, park
your vehicle so that the wheel
comes to a halt with the orange
hook (4) in the position shown in
the diagram on the right. Then
unhook the two eyelets (9) from
the rubber tensioner (10).
Now release the tensioning chain.
To do this, press the release button
on the ratchet (6) and pull the chain
back. Repeat this step on the
second ratchet.
On a rear-wheel drive, the orange
hook (4) should be at the top.

8
Grasp the chain mesh (11) near the
orange hook and by the tensioning
device. Pull it to the centre of the
wheel. This brings the connector
(3) to the front. Open the connec-
tor.
You can now lay the snow chain
on the ground, and remove your
second chain from the other side of
the vehicle.
Then drive away from the chains.
Unhook the orange (4) and grey (7)
hooks.
If the chain does not move
outwards, shake it to loosen, and
make removal easier.

NOTES
There is a risk of the chain brea-
king when the links of the chain
mesh have worn below 50 percent.
Do not use chains which are more
than 50% worn – replace them.
Please ensure that your snow
chains are the right size for the
tyres tted to your vehicle. The
type-size designation on the tyres
must be identical with the size
stated on the chain packaging. For
example, there is a big difference
between 195/65-15 and 195-15.
We always accept our packaging
back via our sales network.
Snow chains must not be oiled.
Therefore, wash your chain in
warm water after use and allow
to dry.
RUD provides a repair and modi-
cation service. If necessary, return
the chain to RUD Ketten. You will
nd the address on the back of
your tting guide.
Do not drive at more than 50 kph
(30 mph) with snow chains.
This is the maximum speed per-
mitted under the trafc regulations
in Germany and other countries.

Your easy2go, like all RUD snow
chains, fulls the Austrian stan-
dard, and so it is also approved for
use in Austria.
