HOT GRIPS 575-875-ATV - Manual (Page 3)

Solder all connections to prevent copper oxidation in the future. DO NOT use the crimp-on terminals if you want your
connections to remain reliable. They tend to oxidize and corrode over time and create problems. Wrap all exposed
connections with vinyl electrical tape. Also, the commonly available blue ones are the wrong size.
HEAT CONTROL: The Hot Grips® do not automatically regulate their heat output, and rely on the rider to adjust the
heat by moving to "lo" or center-off switch position if the grips get too hot. The grips should not be left on when unat-
tended as they may get too hot. In an unregulated electrical system the heat output may be greater than 7 watts on low
and 1
5 watts on high per grip. These wattage figures assume a voltage regulator is in use.
Be sure to check and correct for any interference with vehicle controls and proper throttle operation and throttle return
before starting or operating your ATV. The large rubber inboard guard can be trimmed up to 1/4" in diameter with a
NEW single edge razor blade, but do not trim in the area within 1/2" of the black lead wires that exit the grip. Note that
inside that rubber guard may also be a rigid plastic which will be very tough to cut through- Use due care.
END WEIGHTS: If the model you have purchased is not already supplied with open ends, you may bore out the
outboard ends of the grips for installation of end weights, if you use a fine tooth hole saw and do not go larger than the
handlebar's inside diameter. We have molded in a visual guide on the grip's ends, and we recommend at most 7/8" (22
mm) diameter and be sure to center drill carefully. DO NOT use a hacksaw or you will destroy the grip, because there
are resistance wires molded into the grip outboard of the handlebar diameter.
