HOW TO USE THE HEATED
GRIPS
_ WARNING: Heated grips are
designed for use when the tem-
perature is below 32 degrees.
Do not turn on electric grips if tempera-
ture is above 32 degrees.
When the temperature falls below 32 de-
grees, 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 minutes for the grips to be-
come warm. Because heated grips can be-
come very warm, we recommend that you
wear gloves. If you notice that the grips are
too warm, turn off heated grips.
