1IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operatinginstructions for battery charger models P/N 021-0133, 021-0134.2) Do not expose charger to rain or snow.3) Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer mayresult in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.4) To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord whendisconnecting charger.5) An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improperextension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord mustbe used, make sure:a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those ofplug on charger;b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; andc) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger as specified in Table 16) Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plugimmediately.7) Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwisedamaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.8) Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair isrequired. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.9) To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting anymaintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.10) WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIESGENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THEINSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published bybattery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use invicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.Deltran Battery Tender6V/12V 4Amp 5 & 10 Bank Battery Management SystemDesigned for Six-cell and three-cell Flooded/AGM/GEL Lead-Acid Batteries andFour-Cell Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) BatteriesTABLE 1Length of Cord, Feet 25 50 100 150AWG Size of Cord 18 18 18 16Manual P/N 392-0386-R0211) PERSONAL PRECAUTIONSa) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work neara battery.b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,clothing, or eyes.c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes whileworking near battery.d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. Ifacid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10minutes and get medical attention immediately.e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might sparkor short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watcheswhen working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current highenough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.h) Use charger for charging Lead-Acid/AGM/Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries only.It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system. Do not usebattery charger for charging non-rechargeable batteries that are commonly usedwith home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons anddamage to property.i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.12) PREPARING TO CHARGEa) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove groundedterminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as notto cause an arc.b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact witheyes.d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by batterymanufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such asvalve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharginginstructions.e) Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or notremoving cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure thatoutput voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. Do not use the batterycharger unless battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger.13) CHARGER LOCATIONa) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery willcorrode and damage charger.c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravityor filling battery.d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.14) DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONSa) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches tooffposition and removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to toucheach other.b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through16(d).
