4. පිහිටුවීම සහ ස්ථාපනය

The MICHELIN Easy Grip Limited chains are designed for quick and easy installation. Follow these steps:

1. වාහනය සූදානම් කරන්න: Park your vehicle on a flat, safe surface away from traffic. Engage the parking brake.
2. Unpack Chains: Remove the chains from the storage bag. Lay them out to ensure they are not tangled.
3. Position the Chain: Drape the chain over the top of the tire, ensuring the reflective side faces outwards. The stretchy closure system should be accessible.
4. Connect the Bottom: Reach behind the tire and connect the two ends of the chain at the bottom. The stretchy material allows for easy connection.
5. Center and Adjust: Pull the chain evenly around the tire, centering it as much as possible. The elastic tensioning system will automatically adjust the fit.
6. Drive Slowly: Drive forward or backward a short distance (a few meters) at a very low speed (5-10 km/h). This will allow the chains to self-center and tighten.
7. නැවත පරීක්ෂා කරන්න: Stop and re-check the fit of the chains. Ensure they are snug and properly seated on the tire.
8. නැවත කරන්න: Install the second chain on the other drive wheel following the same procedure.

5. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්

Once installed, the MICHELIN Easy Grip Limited chains provide enhanced traction. Observe the following during operation:

• රිය පැදවීමේ වේගය: Maintain a maximum speed of 50 km/h (30 mph). Exceeding this speed can damage the chains and compromise safety.
• Smooth Driving: Avoid sudden acceleration, harsh braking, or sharp turns. Drive smoothly to maintain control and prevent excessive wear on the chains.
• Road Surface: Use chains only on snow or ice. If you encounter clear patches of road, reduce speed significantly. Prolonged driving on dry asphalt will rapidly wear out the chains and may cause damage.
• රාත්‍රී දෘශ්‍යතාව: The integrated Night Vision System reflectors improve lateral visibility of your vehicle at night, enhancing safety.
• ඉවත් කිරීම: Remove the chains as soon as you are no longer driving on snow or ice.

6. නඩත්තු කිරීම

Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your MICHELIN Easy Grip Limited snow chains:

• පිරිසිදු කිරීම: After each use, especially after driving on salted roads, wash the chains thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, and debris.
• වියළීම: Allow the chains to air dry completely before storing them. Do not store them wet, as this can lead to mildew or degradation of the material.
• ගබඩා: Store the dry chains in their original storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
• පරීක්ෂාව: Periodically inspect the chains for any cuts, tears, or damage to the textile material or the galvanized rings. Replace if significant damage is found.

7. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

If you encounter issues with your Easy Grip Limited snow chains, consider the following:

• Chains feel loose after installation: Drive a short distance (5-10 meters) at very low speed to allow the chains to self-tension. Re-check the fit. Ensure the correct size was selected for your tires.
• ස්ථාපනය කිරීමේ අපහසුතාව: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface. Untangle the chains completely before attempting installation. The stretchy system should make connection easy; if not, try rotating the tire slightly.
• අසාමාන්‍ය ශබ්දය හෝ කම්පනය: This may indicate improper installation or damage. Stop immediately, inspect the chains for correct fit and any damage. Ensure no part of the chain is rubbing against vehicle components.
• අඩු කළ ග්‍රහණය: Ensure you are driving within the recommended speed limit and on appropriate surfaces (snow/ice). Check for excessive wear on the chain's textile or rings.
