4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your ODI ATV X-Treme Lock-On Grips:

1. Prepare Handlebars:

   Remove any existing grips from your ATV or motorcycle handlebars. Thoroughly clean the handlebar surface to remove any adhesive residue, dirt, or grease. Ensure the handlebars are dry before proceeding.

2. Install Grips:

   Slide one ODI Lock-On Grip onto each side of the handlebar. The grips are designed to slide on without the need for adhesive. Ensure the grip is fully seated against the throttle housing (right side) and the end of the handlebar (left side).

3. Attach Clamps:

   Position two Lock-On Clamps onto each grip, one at the inner end and one at the outer end. The clamps should align with the grooves on the grip ends. Ensure the clamp screws are facing a convenient direction for tightening.
4. Secure Clamps:

   Insert the clamp screws into the clamps. Using an appropriate hex key, gradually tighten the screws on both clamps for each grip. Do not overtighten. Tighten until the grip is secure and does not rotate or slide on the handlebar. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific torque specifications if available, or tighten firmly by hand.

5. Install End Caps:

   Press the ODI branded end caps into the open ends of the grips. These caps help protect the handlebar ends and the grips from damage.

6. Final Check:

   Before riding, ensure both grips are firmly secured and do not twist or move. Check throttle operation to ensure it moves freely and returns to the closed position without obstruction.

5. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, your ODI ATV X-Treme Lock-On Grips provide a secure and comfortable interface for controlling your ATV or motorcycle. The tacky diamond plate pattern is designed to offer exceptional grip in various conditions. Simply grasp the grips firmly during operation. No special operating procedures are required beyond standard vehicle operation.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean your grips regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the rubber material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the grips for signs of wear, tear, or damage. Check the lock-on clamps and screws to ensure they remain tight. Replace grips if they show significant wear or damage to maintain optimal performance and safety.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store your vehicle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of the grips.

7. Troubleshooting

• Grips are slipping or rotating:

  Ensure the lock-on clamps are properly positioned and the screws are tightened securely. Do not overtighten, but ensure sufficient torque to prevent movement. If the handlebar surface is excessively smooth, some minor knurling may be required, though this is rare with Lock-On systems.

• Difficulty sliding grips onto handlebars:

  Ensure handlebars are clean and free of obstructions. The grips are designed for a snug fit. Do not force them; gently twist and push. If necessary, a small amount of rubbing alcohol can be used as a lubricant, which will evaporate quickly.
