INSTALLING INSOLES IN BOOTS WITH REMOVABLE LINERS

1. Pay complete attention during installation to prevent chafing,
abrading, cutting, over tension, and tearing of Power Cord. These
types of damages are NOT covered under Manufacturer's Limited
Warranty.
2. To place Power Cord between inner boot (removable liner) and
shell, Hotronic recommends following:
a. Remove inner boot from shell and existing insole from inner boot.
b. With insole removed, use fingertips along bottom inside and
outside edges of inner boot heel pocket to locate position where
Power Cord will exit.
c. Mark 3/4 inch (2cm) horizontal line on inner boot exterior at
position for cut. DO NOT POSITION CUT over inner boot seam.
(Fig. 29)
d. With razor knife, cut cleanly through inner boot along 3/4 inch
(2cm) line. Then cut 3/8 inch (1cm) up from center of line to
create T-slit. (Fig. 29)
e. Insert insole partially into inner boot, align Power Cord, and push
Plug through T-slit. (Fig. 30)
f. Verify Power Cord is laying flat in inner boot, then fully insert
insole.
3. Taping Power Cord to inner boot may protect it from undue wear
and tear. However, reduce possible over tension and severing of
Cord in forward flexing with "free floating channel" in tape. Adhere
half-width strip of duct tape lengthwise up center of full width piece
with sticky sides together. With full width adhered to inner boot,
half-width strip serves as "free floating channel". (Fig. 31-32)
4. Reduce excess length of Power Cord by gently folding into ribbon,
splaying to reduce thickness, and taping in center. Place between
inner boot and shell. DO NOT BEND REPEATEDLY in previously
folded area as it may cause Cord to fail. (Fig. 34-36)
5. Leave adequate length of Power Cord looped up and outside boot.
This reduces chances of tearing and damaging Power Cord. Too
short becomes inconvenient. Too long exposes unnecessary lengths
to damage from zippers, chair lifts, metal edges (when stepping out
of bindings), and other objects. (Fig. 33, 35, 36)
1. For specific footwear or activities, contact your Hotronic Dealer
regarding installation recommendations.
2. For longer reach of Power Cord, bring out from under insole in front
of outside anklebone then up along side of leg. (For Equestrian
Dressage or Field boots.)
3. Reduce excess length of Power Cord for liner-less footwear by
gently folding into ribbon and taping in center. Position folds closely
outside top of footwear. DO NOT BEND REPEATEDLY in previously
folded area as it may cause Cord to fail.
1. All Hotronic FootWarmers within a given model essentially have
same total energy output. Tolerances in micro-controllers, micro-
processors, micro-chips, and batteries result in any setting being
slightly warmer while not lasting as long and vice versa.
2. Battery Packs are water resistant. Should water get inside, hold,
shake, and place upside down until dry. See CAUTIONS
REGARDING BURNS.
3. Heating Elements and Insoles are water resistant. If wet, drying
completely prolongs life.
4. Replacement parts and accessories are available at your Hotronic
Dealer.
5. Sending in Warranty Card helps insure proper coverage.
