Additional Information
The snowblower heated hand grip, part number 725P12285, mounts to the handle and connects to the electrical system to generate warmth while you operate the snowblower. The heating element inside the grip helps reduce cold exposure during extended use.
You may notice the grip no longer warms up, heats unevenly, or stops working altogether. Another sign can be a grip that feels normal to the touch even when the heat setting is on, or visible damage to the grip or wiring.
Disconnect power before beginning the repair. The heated grip includes electrical connections and installs near metal handle components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Route the wiring carefully and make sure all connections are secure before restoring power.
