NOT drill larger than necessary (max. 7/8" and preferably 3/4") . Warning: Aluminum bolt on "hooks will draw away
the heat like a radiator, so use plastic ones instead to reduce this problem significantly. Aluminum ones will defeat
the heat output significantly so NOT recommended. Do

NOT use a 2-blade type wood style hole-saw or it will grab

the rubber and ruin the grip. Do NOT drill larger than necessary (Maximum 7/8” and preferably 3/4”).

EPOXY INSTALLATION ONLY: Obtain a two-part slow-curing epoxy, such as from

www.hotgrips.com

or Duro, Devcon, Borden, JB Weld, PoxyWeld, etc. Make sure it is NOT the

quick-cure type, such as a 5-minute epoxy. We need the slow cure (6-8 hours +) because generally
these epoxies are good for service up to 250 degrees F., whereas the 5-minute quick cure type
epoxies are generally good for only 200 degrees. Do NOT use any other method to install. We
have tested everything else, and they don't hold up under the stress and strain, torque loads and heat
that is present. (Do NOT use silicone seal, crazy glue, gasket cement, weatherstrip adhesive,
hairspray, paint etc. None hold under severe riding conditions!)

Resistor: should be mounted only on a metal surface, so that it

acts as a heat sink, to get rid of heat which takes place when the switch is on “Lo”
heat.

CAUTION: IMPORTANT to check for interference with vehicle controls, levers, and throttle operation
before starting or operating vehicle. Correct any interference condition before starting engine.

The wiring diagram has the correct labeling on the High and Low. When the toggle is moved left to High
side, power is fed from center terminal to the horizontal line.
