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.
