WARNING

Do not leave the CTX-W unattended. Do not connect 12V power supply directly to the battery charge input.When you insert your battery pack into the CTX-W, make sure the batteries polarity and direction are correct. Wrong connection may cause unit to fail. The remote possibility of a failure could cause a short circuit by improper connection. This could cause the battery to rupture. If cells are too hot to touch there is something wrong and the pack must be disconnected from the CTX-W. Muchmore Racing(or their associated distributors) shall not be liable for any property damage or personal injury which may result from the failure to follow these instructions or other improper use of this product. Avoid any contact of your CTX-W with water or other liquids. Never operate on carpets, cloths, pit towel or other materials. Disconnect the CTX-W from power supply when not in use. Only insert serially switched battery packs. Never connect the CTX-W directly to a 110/230 VAC power source. For best performance, we recommend the Power Master(24A power supply #MM-CTXP3). New warmers may produce a slight odour in the first few hours of service due to materials curing inside the device.
