HOW TO USE THE HEATED
GRIPS
,_ WARNING: Heated grips are
designed for use when the
temperature is below 32 de-
grees. Do not turn on electric grips if
temperature is above 32 degrees.
When the temperature falls below 32
degrees, use the heated grips to keep
your hands warm. Move the heated
grip switch to the ON position (see
Figure 14). It will take a couple of min-
utes for the grips to become warm. Be-
cause heated grips can become very
warm, we recommend that you wear
gloves. If you notice that the grips are
too warm, turn off heated grips.
