1. Trace outline of foot on backside of Insole with TOES aligned
over top of Heating Element.
2. Cut Insole along sides and heel. (Fig. 28)
3. Select slightly larger sizing line at first.
4. Further trim Insole where necessary.
If using Hotronic's SEMI CUSTOM INSOLES:
1. First select best size SEMI CUSTOM Insole and install Heating
Element.
2. Place Insole inside footwear.
3. If Insole fits well inside footwear, no further trimming is
necessary.
4. If Insole needs trimming, use trim-to-size lines on bottom side of
Insole toe area. (Fig. 27)
5. Trim Insole as needed.
INSTALLING HEATING ELEMENTS ON CUSTOM INSOLES
1. With foot on custom insole, position Heating Element under toes
placing Power Cord toward heel. (Fig. 14-16)
2. Remove foot, carefully lift Heating Element slightly, and mark
position on insole where Power Cord descends from Element.
3. Use razor knife or grinding device to make slit or narrow opening at
marked position. Hard insole material may require wider opening
for Plug. Use heat gun to soften hard material for narrowest opening.
(Fig. 17)
4. Run Power Cord through slit or opening until Element lies flat and
in correct position. (Fig. 18)
5. Remove adhesive cover layer on bottom of Element and adhere
Element in correct position. If Element is without self-adhesive layer,
use spray or brush-on adhesive between insole and Element.
6. Apply self-adhesive fabric cover over top of insole. Trim excess with
scissors AFTER applying. If needed, use additional adhesive between
insole and fabric. (Fig. 19-20)
7. Apply self-adhesive fabric strip over Power Cord on bottom of insole
to hold in place. (Fig. 21)
8. If foot is sensitive to Power Cord, create shallow channel where
needed under insole using razor knife or grinding device. Reapply
fabric strip.
INSTALLING INSOLES IN GENERAL FOOTWEAR
1. Place insole in footwear with Power Cord flat underneath.
2. Run Power Cord up back or side of leg.
3. Securely fasten Battery Pack as per instructions.
4. Plug Power Cord into Battery Pack.
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)
