30-2100 Dual Temp Tire Warmer Instructions
(Made in USA)
Operation
1) Wrap the warmer around the tire y first securing the Velcro strap around the rim, prefera ly right
in front of a rim spoke.
2) As you wrap the warmer around the tire, e sure to make the warmer fit snugly to the tire. Failure
to do so can result in the heating element unching up, which will cause heating voids, damage the
warmer and void your warranty.
3) Connect the safety cord and plug the warmer in. Disconnecting this cord will
automatically shut the warmer off when it is removed from the tire.
4) Select your desired heat setting using the Warm/Hot Switch. The Warm setting
makes that the target temperature for the tire a out 135F, the Hot setting makes the
target a out 175F.
5) The red indicator light will come on to show elements are heating, the green
indicator shows the warmer has reached temperature. Once it has reached
temperature the light will alternate red and green.
General Information
The tire warmer is an electrical unit and must e handled with care. In order to e sure that your
warmer lasts a long time you must follow the precautions set forth elow. Failure to do so can damage
the warmer and void your warranty. If you suspect that there is a pro lem with your warmers, discontinue
use and contact Woodcraft.
1) Never allow your tire warmers to get wet.
2) Always use the warmers with the wheels suspended in the air using oth front and rear stands.
Allowing the warmers to touch the ground with the weight of the motorcycle on them can damage
the heating elements and potentially cause a fire.
3) Be sure to fit the warmer snugly to the tire to avoid having the heating element unch up and
cause a normal hot spots, damaging the inner lining and heating element.
Intended Use
These tire warmers are intended for racetrack use only.
Do not attempt to use tire warmers on the street. Street tires are not designed to e heated to race
temperatures, and attempting to do so can damage your tire. Conversely, race tires and street riding do
not mix, and riding you ike at racetrack lean angles on the street is highly dangerous.
All race tire manufacturers recommend heat soaking the tire, rather than just heating the surface of
the tire. This is a process that takes 40-60 minutes, depending upon the am ient temperature. You should
always give the warmer the opportunity to cycle (reach the set temperature, cool & reheat) at least 2-3
times to e sure you can hit the track with the proper tire temperature.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR TIRE MANUFACTURER’S
REPRESENTATIVE FOR TEMPERATURE RECOMMENDATIONS
For rain conditions we always run the tires on a Warm setting on any rand of tire, and do not
leave them on for more than 15 minutes. Some manufacturers do not even recommend using warmers at
all on rain tires - consult your tire dealer for instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTES
It is important to note that even the est tire warmers typically cannot achieve optimal
temperatures in a normally cold conditions ( elow 50 deg F). Wrapping the tires in flame retardant
lankets has proven to improve this condition y as much as 20 degrees.
A common pro lem at the racetrack is having too many people draw power from the same circuit,
making warmers less effective due to the lack of electrical power. Watch for these pro lems at the track.
These warmers draw a out 1000 Watts of power if you are sizing a generator. When in dou t – more
power is always etter.
For multiple races in one day, putting your tires ack on the warmers on the Warm setting will
reduce the effects of heat cycling the tire. Heat cycles (and tread wear) are the primary causes of loss of
traction as a tire gets older. By not allowing the tire to cool completely after use, the tire will have more
grip for a longer period of time.
