Ford 1996 Bronco Manual page 308

Drive slowly. If you can hear the chains rub
or bang against your vehicle, stop the vehicle
and tighten the chains. If you continue to
hear the chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, remove the chains to prevent damage
to your vehicle.
Avoid fully loading your vehicle if possible.
Remove tire chains at the first opportunity
after using them on snow and ice. Do not use
the chains on dry roads.
Make sure your suspension insulation and
bumpers are not missing or worn to avoid
damage to your vehicle.
Cleaning the Wheels
Wash the wheels with the same detergent you
use to wash your vehicle's body. Do not use
acid-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, abrasives,
fuel, or strong detergents. These substances will
damage protective coatings. Use tar and road oil
remover to remove grease and tar.
NOTE: Before going to a car wash, find out if
the brushes are abrasive.
Battery
Your vehicle may have a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery. When the original
equipment battery is replaced under warranty, it
may be replaced by a Motorcraft
Low-Maintenance Battery.
The Low-Maintenance Battery has removable vent
caps for checking the electrolyte level and for
adding water, if necessary. The electrolyte level
should be checked at least every 24 months or
24,000 miles (40,000 km) in temperatures up to
90˚F (32˚C) and more often in temperatures above
90˚F (32˚C). Keep the electrolyte level in each cell
up to the level indicator. Do not overfill.
