Your Foot Heater Kit includes:
  • 2-foot heating pads
  • 1-Switch
  • 3-Wire connectors
  • 2-Wire splices
  • 2-thicker self adhesive pads
  • 2-thinner self adhesive pads
Tools and items you may need (not provided):
  Wire strippers, Wire crimers, Drill & bits, Electrical tapes or wire ties, Pop rivets & Gun, Cleaning solution,wire, misc.
 
  1. Decide the location to place foot heating pads, ways to route wires, location of switch-plan ahead.
  2. Locate the foot stirrup, foot rest on your machine.Decide where you want to place the heating pad - generally the best location is the place the ball of your foot rests when riding the machine.
  3. Clean the back metal jacket of each foot heating pad, use paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc., allow to dry, then apply of the thinner self adhesive pads to each back, on the metal jacket. (The top of your heating pad is the rubber surface, the back is the metal jacket)
  4. Before you remove the paper protecting the adhesive from backing - place the heating pad with the wires at the top or side, which ever is better, at your chosen location. You want the wires to exit the bottom of the foot stirrup immediately, if a hole is there use it or it will be necessary to drill an exit hole through the metal bottom of your machine foot rest for the wire leads to exit.
  5. Clean out any metal chips and debur the hole, if you drilled one, clean the entire surface of foot rest as in step 3.
  6. If your foot stirrup has ridges, ribs, etc. you need to take the thicker self adhesive pads- cut holes to match the ridges or ribs, stick it to the foot stirrup at your chosen location. This should allow installation of the foot heating pad without rubbing on the ridges, ribs, etc.
  7. If your foot stirrups have holes but no ridges, ribs, you should not use the thicker self-adhesive pads at all.
  8. Wrap some electrical tape around each wire next to foot pad to protect it where it will pass through the metal of the foot rest.
  9. Remove the paper protective backing of the self adhesive pad, from completed step 3. send the wire leads into the exit hole and place the foot heating pad in location and press down firmly. (The following is almost never needed, after using your heating pads a pop rivet could be installed next to edge of metal, 1/4", if you feel the pad is not sticking
  10. Determine the location of the switch, drill a hole. You can install the switch now or attach wires first then install the switch,with the 'ON' label to the top and 'OFF' label to the bottom.
  11. Connect the wires electrically as shown in the wire diagram.
 
There are two ways to electrically install your foot heaters. The easiest to install is using the switch we supply for a simple on-off. The optional way will require you to buy a new switch from your local supplier, to use in place of the one we supply. You will need a double pole double throw center off switch. This option will allow you to have a high heat, low heat, and center off. It is a little more work, but some like the Hi/Lo heat option.
 
This is the most popular on-off wire diagram.

REMEMBER- ROUTE YOUR WIRES AND SECURE THEM IN A SAFE MANNER WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE OR TIES, SO THEY DO NOT RUB AND CAUSE THE WIRE TO BREAK OR SHORT OUT.

 
  1. Connect one wire from the right and one wire from the left foot heating pad (it does not matter which wire of the two wires of each pad) To the machine ground, or metal frame. This is generally the electrical return. Cut off any excess wire length.
  2. Connect the remaining wire from the right and the remaining wire from the left foot heating pad to one of the posts on the switch (it does not matter which post on the switch). Cut off any excess wire length.
  3. Using the excess wire you cut off if long enough or take a wire you supply and connect it to the remaining post of the switch and the other end to electrical output of your machine.
This is the optional high-off-low wire diagram.
(Requires that you replace the normal switch with a double pole, double throw. Center off switch)
Remember- Route your wires and secure them in a safe manner using electrical tape or ties so they do not rub or break.
 
 
12. Locate the electrical wire that provides electricity from the engine, connect a wire from it to one of the wires of the right pad and to the lower left connector on switch.
 
14. Take a wire from the left pad and connect it to the lower right connector of switch and also to frame ground (metal) of snowmobile.
 
15. Take the second wire of the left pad and connect it to the center left and upper right connector of switch.
 
 
90 day warranty of foot heater properly functioning, because each machine is different, and each person may have different heating needs- no refunds are given because your toes/feet still get cold. While we have satisfied users, and repeat customers, we know our heating pads do work to supplement heat,however they do have limitations of heat and can be effected by air temperature and your physical needs.
 
Consumer Note: Colors may vary slightly from product run to product run.Do not be concerned if small bubbles or waves may appear on the finished surface of a foot heater during curing and shipping. These will not change the life expectancy or performance of the product.
 
Return Policy: Call or write to explain your situation, returns and refunds given if product is defective because of manufacturing or shipping, not for improper installation or abuse.
