Security Chain Co (SCC) Whitestar Alloy - Manual (Page 3)

Avoid speeds over 30 mph and use on bare pavement. Chain link on cross members will be damaged
and cause cross members to break. Damage could occur to chains, tires and vehicles.
Ensure rubber tensioners are used at all times.
Avoid spinning tires: start slowly, even in uphill conditions.
Avoid locking brakes: the best braking technique is a pumping action.
If a cross member should break, stop & remove or replace it immediately.
After use, clean and spray with an all-purpose lubricant.

We strongly recommend that the chains be fitted to the tire prior to actual use to ensure proper fit. Tire sizes
may vary because of age, manufacturer, tread or type.
Whitestar Alloy meets SAE Class “S” clearance requirements (15.00mm).Once the chains have been installed,
drive a short distance. If you hear any contact of the chain to any vehicle part, remove chains immediately.
Vehicle manufacturers’ determine the clearance requirements based on the original (OEM) tires provided with the
vehicle. Placing different size tires on your vehicle may affect the clearance necessary to operate this product.
Care should be taken when using this product on wheels or wheel covers that protrude outward beyond
the sidewall of the tire. Wheel covers should be removed to prevent possible markings made by the rubber
tensioner. On vehicles with protruding alloy wheels, other traction products that do not use a rubber tensioner
(such as SCC’s Z-Chain or ladder style cable products) should be used.
During installation of the chain, ensure that the chain drapes at least 2 inches over each side of the tire from
the edge of the tread.
With traction devices installed, the vehicle will handle differently (for example, a longer braking distance on
pavement without snow or ice). Adjust your driving to these changed conditions.
Whitestar Aloy is intended for use on snow and ice-covered roads. As such, it is legal in every state and
province in North America, including those where studded tires are prohibited. (Check local laws and regulations
for any restrictions in your area.)

CAUTION: All winter traction products will wear out with extended use. They can also break due to misfit,
misapplication or misuse. If this should occur, stop immediately and remove the chain. Care should be taken
when using this product on wheels or wheel covers that protrude outward beyond the sidewall of the tire. Wheel covers
should be removed to prevent possible markings made by rubber tensioners. On vehicles with protruding alloy wheels,
other traction products that do not use a rubber tensioner (such as SCC’s Z-Chain or ladder-style cable products) should
be used. If these cautions are ignored, SCC and it’s distributors are not responsible for injury or vehicle damage.
