The Shield

The Sno Simple Shield should be opened and extended once the device is positioned over the tire. This can be achieved in one of two ways: either by driving onto the Tire Lock to position the device, or if the tire lock is not being used, by pushing the Tire Lock mat up against the tire and then pushing the Shield up into position.

The Shield is secured to the tire using the Hub Lock. If the Hub Lock is not engaged, the Shield may flap in the wind during a storm which will allow snow to enter the area and prevent the cover from functioning as intended,

Following use the Shield may be wet, icy or dirty. The Shield can be cleaned with the Sno Simple Chamois cloth or another suitable cloth. Disengage the Hub Lock and the Tire Lock Mat if it in use. To fold the Shield for storage, place each hand on either side of the Shield. 

To fold the Shield for storage, place each hand on either side of the Shield. Twist in opposing directions while simultaneously  folding into a smaller circle shape. Ensure the snap hook is removed connecting the Tire Lock mat to the Shield. Then fold the mat over the circle for compact storage. 

The Shield may still be damp. Place it in the mesh bag for draining and aeration in a suitable area. This smaller mesh bag can then be placed in the larger backpack which also has an area of mesh at the back. To avoid further drainage, place the bag with the mesh side up. To aid further drainage, the bag should be placed down so the liquid can drain out of the mesh patch.

The Sno Simple Shield is available in four sizes to fit a wide range of cars from compact cars to sedans through to small and large SUV's. The sizes include Compact, Regular, Medium and Large. Measure vertically across the middle of your wheel arch to determine best fit according to the sizing parameters. For more information, refer here.
