Dennis Kirk provides instructions to help our customers better understand how to install the
products we sell. The instructions are exact copies of what the manufacturer includes with the
product being sold.
That means the quality and accuracy of the instructions is solely dependent on what the
manufacturer produces. We do our best to make the text legible and the pictures viewable.
However, the end result depends largely on the quality of instructions the manufacturer
provides.
Therefore, you will find that some instructions are not of the highest quality. Sometimes text is
hard to read and pictures are not easy to see. At times you will find the overall look of the
instructions to be less than professional. However, we feel it is better to provide what we have
rather than provide nothing at all.
To the best of our knowledge the instructions and application information contained in the
instructions is accurate. However, Dennis Kirk assumes no liability related to any errors that
may be contained in the copy of the manufacturer’s instructions we provide. Buyers are solely
responsible to insure that product use is consistent with their application.
If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected] or
800-969-7501 so we can further assist you regarding additional product information or any other
business related questions.
Thank you for doing business with Dennis Kirk.

Using Your Portable Heat-Troner
1. Turn the knob of the Heat-Troller to the "off' position. Attach the plug of the Heat-Troller marked "power in" to the
connecting plug on the battery harness.
2. Attach the plug marked "power out" directly to the garment. Turn the knob on, and the L.E.D. should begin
to blink. When the light stays on without blinking, it
is on full power.
3. Remember -the plug marked "power in" always goes to the power source; the one marked "power out"
always goes to the garment. If the Heat-Troller is not plugged
in correctly, it will not work correctly.
4. With the Heat-Troller turned OFF, the L.ED. should be OFF. When you turn the Heat-Troller ON the L.ED. will start
to flash; increasing
in rate as you turn the Heat-Troller knob to full. When on full, the L.ED. will stop blinking &
will stay lit.
5. If you have a Dual Portable Heat-Troller, you notice that there is one red and one yellow dot on the knobs.
The red
L.ED. is your primary control & goes to the grey or grey/red cable connector. The yellow
controls the black
or black/yellow cable connector. Remember, on a Dual Heat-Troller, if you have the
power
in polarity reversed then the red L.E.D. will be yellow and the yellow L.ED. will not turn on.
Troubleshooting Information
1. If your Heat-Troller does not operate, check all connections for tightness & the wires for proper connection.
2. Make sure the battery harness is plugged directly to the battery and not to a fuse block & polarity is correct.
3. If you are using a BMW® power adapter made by some other company, check to see if the wires
inside have come loose. Check the BMW® socket
is fused for enough draw and NEVER use the BMW®
power port on a CAN BUS system.
4. If the knob is too hard
or too easy to turn, loosen the screw on the knob & adjust the knob & o-ring against the
nut
of the switch then retighten the knob set screw.
5. If your unit fails, contact us to help diagnose the problem.
Guidelines for Using Your Heat -Troner
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock or fire, the Heat-Troller must be used in accordance with the
following instructions:
Use the Heat-Troller only on DC power with properly rated power source, this includes a rechargable
battery
or an AC to DC power adapter.
The output cord (marked power out) of the Heat-troller is intended for use only with approved heated items.
Other devices such as Battery Tenders should not be connected directly to the Heat-Troller. Do not use a
Battery Tender power harness. It is not designed for the greater draw of heated clothing.
For safety reasons, the Heat-Troller should not be put in the pocket of heated apparel while it is being used.
Read through the installation instructions and warranty information in this booklet before installing
your Heat-Troller.
Broken wires or shorts in your heated clothing can damage your Heat-Troller, even though the clothing
may appear to function normally. If your Heat-Troller fails to function correctly, we suggest you immediately
check your clothing for shorts. You can find simple instructions for testing on our website.
If the Heat-troller fails, after checking and fixing a short, you can turn the switch off and then on.
This will reset it.
IMPORTANT!
This Heat-Troller has been equipped with a resettable cut-off which will cause the unit to stop working if
there is a short in the clothing or wires for your protection. Just turn off the Heat-Troller, repair the
problem, and then turn it back on.
CAUTION!
It is possible to overload your vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories.
If your combined accessories use more electrical current than your vehicle's charging system can produce,
the consumption can discharge the battery, leading to electric system damage. Ask your dealer or see your
owner's manual for advice about the amount of current consumed by additional electrical accessories.
