Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
•WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON,
IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE POWER PACK.
•To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions
and those published by battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in
vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
•Do not sit unit on ammable materials such as carpeting,
upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc…
•Do not jumpstart a vehicle while charging the internal
battery.
•Never place the unit directly above the battery being
jumped.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
!
CAUTION
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate Genie ReliaVolt™ in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. The

your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
•Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
•Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
•If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
ood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention immediately. If battery acid
is ingested, do not induce vomiting and seek medical
attention immediately.
•NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of
