How do you install snow chains?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Snow chains

In this video we see how to mount snow chains: we pass the yellow part behind the wheel, until it comes out on the other side; we pull it up holding it behind the wheel, so that we can hook the two rigid ends of the chain, and we let it slide towards the back. Now we take the second colored part, which is gray, and pull it outwards instead, so that the gray part remains all on the outside and can be joined with the hook to form a circle. Now we take the red part and hook it to the red hook. We take the end of the chain and pull it: we feel it clicking: it means that we are correctly pulling the chain onto the tire, we hook it to the red hook and it's done.
