FORD 1998 F-150 - Manual (Page 184)

Follow these guidelines when using
snow tires and chains:
• Use only SAE Class S chains.
• Install chains securely, verifying
that the chains do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the
chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and re-tighten the
chains. If this does not work,
remove the chains to prevent
damage to your vehicle.
• If possible, avoid fully loading
your vehicle.
• Do not use tire chains on
aluminum wheels. Chains may
chip the wheels.
• Remove the tire chains when
they are no longer needed. Do
not use tire chains on dry roads.
• The suspension insulation and
bumpers will help prevent
vehicle damage. Do not remove
these components from your
vehicle when using snow tires
and chains.
