HOT GRIPS 101 (SNOE) - Manual (Page 3)

. Other Hot Grips® products shown below:
HEAT CONTROL: The heated grips do not have automatic temperature regulation. They rely on the rider to adjust the
heat to "high", "off", or "low" as needed. The grips should not be left energized unattended as they might become too
hot. Heat output on a 12 volt regulated system is 15 watts per grip on "high" and 8 watts per grip on "low". Current
draw is 2.5 amps for the set on "high" and 1.66 amps on "low". On "low" the ceramic resistor will heat up, which is
normal, because it creates a voltage drop for the grips.
Need to cut off grip ends? Some race sleds have extra end-
loop handles on the handlebars. The Hot Grips® end may be drilled out (do not use a hack-saw or you will ruin the
grip's internal heating wires). Use a fine-toothed steel hole-saw with a centering pilot drill. Do not use a 2-blade type
hole saw or it will grab the rubber and ruin the grip. Do not drill larger than necessary (max. 7/8" and preferably 3/4") .
CAUTION: IMPORTANT to check for interference with vehicle controls, levers, and throttle operation before start-
ing or operating vehicle. Correct any interference condition before starting engine.
Grips should be checked prior to installation, as they cannot be removed without damage. We do 100% testing at the
factory before packaging grips. Installing them without epoxy will very quickly DESTROY them, BECAUSE the black
lead wires will be pulled out when the grips heat up, expand,
and rotate on handlebars.
