How do you install a Grip Stud???

1.) Take stud install tool and position the head of the stud inside the tool (Screw tip out).








2.) Put the screw tip of the stud onto desired tire knob. Push straight down and start to rotate the stud slowly keeping firm pressure on stud. Slowly screw in the stud until the flat ring on the head of the tool touches the surface of the rubber.





3.) Repeat process on remaining studs arranging in a varying pattern on tire (NOT in a straight line). Be careful not to over-tighten studs. Also, be sure to rotate the key slowly when installing.







CAUTION: Do not continue to screw once installed. Over-rotation may cause tears or lacerations in the rubber. If damage occurs from over tightening, the stud may not be positioned correctly. Incorrect positioning may result in stud falling out during use. For proper installations, be sure to follow these two simple instructions:

1 - Rotate very slowly for best results.

2 - Push Straight down until the flat ring on the head of the tool touches the surface of the rubber.

4.) ENJOY!
