A: Safety first: read carefully before fitting or using!
IMPORTANT:
If you have any doubt about fitting your Oxford HotGrips™, immediately consult your local authorised
Oxford stockist for advice or alternatively visit our website www.oxprod.com and check for updates on the Frequently
Asked Questions.
WARNINGS:
i.
Your HotGrips must only be connected and turned on when fitted to your handlebars as per the instructions.
ii. Before using the motorcycle/vehicle each time, please ensure that the fitted HotGrips are firmly glued to the
handlebar. Failure to do so could result in an accident or personal injury.
iii. Ensure that the throttle operates freely. Ensure that normal operation of the motorcycle is not affected. The Hotgrip
cables must not foul or restrict the operation of the brake or clutch levers.
iv. HOTGRIPS are designed for use with gloved hands. Do not allow bare skin to come into contact with your HotGrips
when turned "on". Check the temperature for suitability before you set off. If the temperature becomes too hot
when on the move, pull over safely and turn the temperature down or turn the switch OFF if appropriate.
v. Do not leave the motorcycle unattended when the HotGrips are turned on. The heat regulation is only controlled by
the motorcyclist turning the heat controller up or down to suit the ambient weather conditions. If the grips are left
turned ON at a high heat setting whilst the motorbike is in a warm garage or in warm ambient conditions, damage
to the HotGrips or motorcycle could occur. Similarly if the Hotgrips are left turned on when fitted inside handlebar
muffs the temperatures may rise beyond a safe point and damage or even risk of fire could occur in the most
extreme situations. These are designed to be used in cold weather with the rider present.
vi. Replace the HotGrips when the pattern of the outer rubber wears away in any one area or the tread pattern
disappears.
vii. Regularly check the integrity of the attachment and materials of your HotGrips.
Do not use if in doubt and consult your local authorised OXFORD stockist.
viii. OXFORD Products will accept no liability for the consequences of grips, which have not been securely fitted. Liability
is limited to the replacement parts of the HotGrips in case of faulty materials or manufacture.
