TrakPower 12V DC Nitro Engine Heater - Manual

INTRODUCTION
The TrakPower engine heater uses technology similar to
that used by Formula 1, Indy Car and NASCAR teams. It
will properly pre-heat your engine to 140-158˚F (60-70˚C)
in 10 minutes based on ambient temperatures.
The TrakPower Engine Heater will pre-heat all critical parts
of your nitro engine, giving you minimal stress and wear on
the engine. It helps relieve stress on the crankshaft, con-
rod, piston and sleeve during warm-up. It also gives you a
very easy and smooth engine start, with no stress on your
starterbox. Fuel consumption is much less, as you do not
have to spend time warming up and adjusting your engine.
A pre-heated glow plug will increase the life of your plug. It
is also perfect for break-in, as it reduces the “pinch” on your
new engine. You will experience that engine pre-heating
is a must. Most importantly, it will quickly pay for itself by
increasing engine life and performance!
