A heated snowmobile shield is designed to keep the rider's vision clear in cold and snowy conditions. Here's how it works:
- Prevents Fogging: The shield has built-in heating elements that warm the surface, preventing fog from forming due to the rider's breath or temperature differences.
- Reduces Ice Build-Up: It helps to melt any ice or frost that might accumulate on the shield, ensuring clear visibility.
- Improves Comfort: By maintaining a clear view, it enhances the overall riding experience and safety.
Wiring Instructions - Snowmobile with Battery
Wiring a heated helmet to your snowmobile is straightforward.
Follow these steps:
- Locate the Accessory Plug: Remove the hood of your snowmobile and find the accessory plug, usually located near the wiring harness behind the headlight
- Prepare the Wiring Kit: Use the included wiring harness or purchase a heated shield wiring kit that includes a power cord with a fuse and connectors. Make sure the kit is compatible with your snowmobile model
- Connect the Wires:
- Splice the Power Cord: Use a wire splicer to connect the power cord from the kit to the accessory plug. Ensure you use shrink tubes with solder and adhesive for a secure connection
- Apply Dielectric Grease: Apply dielectric grease to the connections to prevent corrosion
- Secure the Wiring: Route the power cord along the handlebars and secure it with zip ties to prevent it from getting tangled or damaged.
- Test the Connection: Plug in your heated helmet and start your snowmobile to ensure the helmet heats up properly
Wiring Instructions - Snowmobile with Without Battery
Wiring a heated helmet shield to a snowmobile without a battery can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely doable. Here are some general steps you can follow at your own discretion:
- Locate Power Source: Identify a power source on your snowmobile. Common options include the headlight or thumb warmer wires.
- Prepare the Wires: Cut and strip the ends of the wires you will be connecting.
- Connect the Heated Shield Wires:
- Positive Wire: Connect the positive wire from the heated shield to the power source wire (e.g., headlight wire).
- Ground Wire: Connect the ground wire from the heated shield to a suitable ground point on the snowmobile (e.g., frame or ground wire from heated grips).
- Secure Connections: Use electrical tape or heat shrink tubing to secure and insulate the connections.
- Test the Shield: Plug in the heated shield and test it to ensure it's working properly.
