Installation Instructions for ATVs models with the following
part numbers
475-875-ATV, 525-875-ATV, 575-875-ATV, 475-100-ATV and
525-100-ATV
IMPORTANT: Read through entire instructions before proceeding.

If you do not have the ability to install these grips then
hire a professional mechanic to do the installation.
These Hot Grips® are for any ATV with .875" (22.22 mm) handlebars and a thumb throttle. If you have a twist throttle
you must purchase our model for motorcycles instead, because the throttle tube requires a larger right side grip I.D.
To pre-check the resistance each grip is between 8 and 10 ohms depending on the grip's overall length. You may
temporarily wire the two grips in parallel and test with 12v.
END-WEIGHTS OR OTHER NEED FOR OPEN ENDS: If the model you have purchased is not supplied with open
ends, and you need to open them, you may bore out the outboard ends of the grips for installation of end weights or
other purpose, if you use a fine tooth hole saw and do not go larger than the handlebar's inside diameter. We have
molded in a visual guide on the grip's ends, and we recommend at most 7/8"(22 mm) diameter and be sure to center
drill carefully. DO NOT use a hacksaw or you will destroy the grip, because there are resistance wires molded into
the grip outboard of the handlebar diameter.
These Hot Grips® have a heat output of 7 watts on "low" and 13 watts on "high" per grip. As a pair they will consume
18 watts of electrical power on "low" and 26 watts on "high. They consume more than 7 x 2 on "low" because the
resistor consumes a little electrical current.
PREPARATION: Remove old grips and any adhesive residue from the handlebars with solvent. There is a slight
variation in handlebar diameters, so some may be loose, and some may be tight. Better to file a tight handlebar down
until it fits than to force the Hot Grip® over it. DO NOT rely on a press fit since the grips will expand when heated up,
and could become loose, and thus unsafe. They rely on epoxy bonding to remain secure.
WIRING: The wires should be secured to the handlebars. On the throttle side, make sure that the lead wires do not
interfere with the thumb throttle action. Also make sure the wires do not interfere with the handlebar clutch and/or
brake levers before epoxying the grips on.
EPOXY: We recommend only slow curing (generally considered 6+ hours, or overnight) two-part epoxy because it is
generally rated at 250 degrees F ( 120 degrees C.). The quicker curing epoxy is generally rated at 200 degrees F (94
degrees C.). DO NOT use other types of adhesives. DO NOT use silicone sealant, crazy glue, superglue, other
cyanoacrylate adhesives, weather-strip adhesives, or anything else. Just use two-part epoxy of the type we recom-
mend. There are many brands out there, and some of them are DURO, DEVCON, JB WELD, Borden, etc. Out of the
USA they may be called by another name. They are commonly available at auto parts stores, hardware stores, and is
often found in hardware or automotive departments. (The reason we do not want you to use anything other than
epoxy is because of the temperature these grips may reach in service, and because other types of adhesives rely on
solvent evaporation, which may take a tremendous amount of time. Most other adhesives will soften with elevated
temperatures, and can allow the grips to slowly rotate and you don't want these grips to loosen while riding.)
