Fitting Wheel Chains - A guide and checklist

FITTING CHAINS
Fit chains at bays where you see the "Fit Chains Here" sign or when directed by Mountain management.
Always fit chains to driving wheels only.
When required, four wheel drive vehicles should fit chains to front wheels.
Chain fitting bays are level and make fitting easier. If you don't use the chain fitting bay you may find yourself in a lot of trouble. Chains are hard to fit on slopes, and you will obstruct other vehicles and snow clearing equipment.
You can be fined for not carrying and fitting chains as directed.
CHECKLIST
♦ Fit chains to driving wheels only.
♦ Always test fit chains before a trip.
♦ Fit at fitting bays on level ground at "Fit Chains Here" signs or as directed by Mountain staff.
♦ Keep speed below 40kph
♦ If chains fall off or loosen when a vehicle is in motion, stop and check brake lines for damage before retensioning.
♦ Carry a torch, plastic garbage bag and gloves to make fitting easier.
♦ Use correct fitting chains.
♦ Tyres must be in good condition with minimal wear
♦ Chains alter your car's handling.
♦ Learn how to fit chains before arriving
♦ The use of diamond pattern chains is recommended at Mt Baw Baw.
Take time to retension the chains,
adjust your driving to the conditions
and take care!
