• Turn the switch off before connecting each of the over-grips into the connectors
• Ensure that the over-grips are firmly attached and do not move independently of your motorcycle grips before using the
machine
• Ensure that the throttle operates freely
• Designed for use with leather winter gloved hands.
• No attempt should be made to alter the length of the HotHands’ wiring loom.

Fitting and Wiring Instructions
These heated over-grips are designed to fit over most rubber grips mounted on 22mm handlebars.
• Wrap the overgrip over the existing handle bar rubber grip with the neoprene rubber side facing the grip.
• Ensure that the velcro flap secures onto the opposite velcro patch and that the over-grip is very tight and secure onto the
rubber grip. The over-grip must not be able to slide along or move independently of the grip.
• Position the over-grips such that the wires do not foul against the brake or clutch levers. The throttle grip should rotate
freely without obstruction and without stretching or pinching the wires.
• The wiring harness should be installed with the switch in position, which ensures that the wires from the grips can reach
without strain. Cable ties are provided to secure loose wires.
• The switch may be mounted on a flat panel using self-tapping screws. Alternatively, it may be fitted onto tubular
handlebars by passing the cable ties provided through the pre-made holes in the switch and around the handlebar.
• The switch contains an L.E.D. which glows when the over-grips are turned on.
• The loom is designed for ease of fitting. There are only 2 wires that need attaching to the motorcycle’s existing wiring
loom. All other connections are through the multi-pin block connectors and cannot be fitted the wrong way.
• The feed (Red wire) can be connected either to the battery positive or to an ignition feed so that the grips cannot be
inadvertently left “on” when leaving the machine.
• The negative (Black wire) should be connected to either the negative battery terminal or to a negative connection in the
motorcycle’s wiring loom.
• Both the negative and the positive connections are fitted with a
round eyelet type fitting. This will allow them to be bolted to the
battery terminals. If you have chosen to use an ignition feed, the
positive wire should not be trimmed by more than 25mm.
Safety first: read carefully
