Keep It Running Like New
A few simple habits after each use will keep The Kranken performing season after season.
Clean After Every Use
Wipe down the extended cables with a warm, damp cloth to remove salt, dirt, and grime. This keeps the system running smoothly.
Dry Thoroughly
Always dry the cables and components with a clean towel before storage to avoid moisture buildup. Even marine-grade steel benefits from being stored dry.
Inspect for Wear
Regularly check the stainless steel clips and cables for signs of fraying or damage. Replace any worn components before your next chain-up.
Store in the Pouch
Use the provided storage pouch to keep your tensioner protected from harsh environments when not in use. Keeps everything together and ready to go.
Need Help? We've Got You.
Most issues have a simple fix. If you're still stuck, reach out - our team is here to help.
Cables won't fully extend
Make sure the center gear is fully unlocked by turning it completely to the left before pulling the cables.
Can't achieve full tension
Check that all six clips are evenly spaced and securely attached to the crosslink junctions. Uneven placement can prevent full tensioning.
Chains still slipping
Verify the chains are the proper size for your tires. Then ensure the Kranken is fully tightened - crank the handle until the cables are taut and springs are stretched.
Clips are difficult to attach
Make sure you are attaching the clips before applying any tension. The Kranken is designed for tension-free attachment - tightening comes last.
