Installation Guide
This heating element is designed for use on 12 volt vehicles and should
not be used on any other vehicle with a different operating voltage such as
24 volt or 6 volt vehicles. All power connections should be made to an IGN
source and fused at a max of 12 amps.
DO NOT cut the heating element width wise, as this will damage the element
and cause malfunction. (g. B)
DO NOT modify the harness in any way. Be sure that the harness is routed
and secured in a way to avoid sharp objects, metal edges, or any object that
could chafe the wire harness.
Make sure the seat moves freely from front to rear after installation.
Be sure that the seat foam is clean and free of contaminants such as grease
or silicone. Allow the elements proper time for the adhesion process in order
to ensure the best adhesion. (typically 48 hours) Do not reuse elements after
they have been adhered to a surface.
DO NOT allow the heating element to come into contact with the with
conductive surfaces in the seats frame, metal bars or hog rings or short
circuit may occur.
Seat cover material will affect the heating time. Customers should be
notied about the location of the fuses used in the installation process in case
of failure.
DO NOT install this product over sensors, airbags, or other parts related to
the SRS airbag system.
WARNING
Seat heaters must not be installed in vehicles that will be used by
paraplegic or other occupants who cannot sense heat. Customers must
notify the original installer if the vehicle is sold to a third party.

Installation Guide
If required, carefully cut 2 holes vertically or horizontally, holes should not
exceed 1” in diameter. DO NOT cut more than two holes in each heating
element.
Seat heating elements may be trimmed to t seat cushions length wise. If the
element is too long to t the seat simply trim the element with scissors to t
desired area.
DO NOT cut the heating element widthwise.
Remove the adhesive backing from the heating element and carefully adhere
to the seat cushion in the desired location. Be sure to align any mounting
holes that you have created.
If working with “rod” style seat covers, insulate the rod from contact with the
heating element using a strip of the provided adhesive contact tape.
If working with a “velcro” style seat cover this is not needed.
Reinstall the seat cover and replace the “J” clips to their original location.
Locate 12 volt power source that is capable of supplying 10 amps of
continuous power. EchoMaster recommends using an IGN power source that
rests at 0 volts when the key is not in the RUN position.
Once you have found a suitable power source, route the harness in a safe
manner from under the seat to the desired power source. Be sure that
harness is fastened to vehicle using zip ties.
Find a suitable location for the seat heater switches to be mounted in the side
of the seat, dash, or center console between the driver and passenger seats.
Drill a 13/16” hole (21mm) at the desired switch location. Route the switch
harness through the hole and plug into main harness.
Push the switch into the hole and snap into place rmly.
Reinstall the seats in to the vehicle. Plug all removed connectors back into
seat, and plug the EchoMaster seat heater harness to the heater elements.
