Low Vehicle Power Output:
Older vehicles or vehicles with smaller engine displacements may be incapable of
electrically powering certain combinations of electric apparel to their full potential.
In addition, some electrical systems do not provide peak electrical output during low RPM
situations or at idle, causing fluctuations in the level of heat provided by the garments.
If your motorcycle is equipped with CANBUS, then it is very likely that your Synergy
®
apparel is exceeding the amperage capability of the CANBUS system. If this is the case,
you will need to use the Synergy
®
wiring harness provided and connect directly to the
battery.
Loose Connections:
Loose connections result in an intermittent flow of electrical power from the vehicle to the
garments resulting in reduced heat levels.
Check each of the garment’s connections, including the connection to the temperature
control and the power lead wiring harness. Press firmly to ensure solid connections have
been made. Make sure connections are clean.
If the situation persists, turn off the vehicle and double-check the power lead wiring
harness electrical connections at the battery. Also check the integrity of the wiring,
insulation, and the fuse.
To access the fuse for inspection or replacement, first locate the fuse box connected to
the
positive (+)
wire of the Synergy
®
power lead wiring harness. Open the fuse box lid
to view the condition of the fuse circuit. If the circuit has been broken, the fuse must be
replaced. To replace the fuse, simply remove the bad fuse and replace with a fresh 15-
Amp fuse, available from hardware stores or auto parts suppliers. Close the fuse box lid
and secure the Synergy
®
power lead wiring harness to the frame or other rigid portions of
the vehicle with nylon cable ties or electrical tape.
CAUTION: It is important that the wiring be routed away from moving
parts or hot areas that could cause potential damage.
WARNING: Do not exceed a maximum fuse amperage of 15-Amps. Fuses
greater than 15-Amps may create a power surge that could damage the
heating elements, void the warranty, and may cause serious injury or
death to the wearer.
