7. Provide suitable ventilation
8. Avoid placing objects near the product during operation.
9. Keep this product out of the reach of children.
10. The operating inflator produces vibrations: therefore, we recommend you to use it on the floor, so as to avoid accidental falls.

****DO NOT POWER THE INFLATOR WITH A VOLTAGE HIGHER THAN THE RATED ONE.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1. ALWAYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
   Do not expose the inflator to rain. Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

2. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
   Do not start the inflator with the inlet in contact with dust or water.

3. PAY ATTENTION.
   Pay attention to what you are doing. Use common sense.

4. CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO DAMAGED PARTS.
   Before using the inflator, carefully check its outer sides and components.

5. DO NOT OPERATE portable inflators near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. The inflator motors produce sparks that can release fumes.

6. DO NOT INHALE!
   The compressed air coming from the inflator is not clean. Never inhale air from your inflator.

7. WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION.
   Inflate the unit only complying with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Exceeding the pressure rating could cause the inflator to explode, resulting in personal injury.

8. NEVER LEAVE THE DEVICE UNATTENDED.
   Overinflation could result in serious injury and property damage.

9. WARNING! RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION
   Do not modify or attempt to repair the unit. Do not drill into or make any modifications to the inflator or its accessories. Any modification to the product will void its warranty.

10. Never carry the inflator by the flexible hose or power cable.

INTRODUCTION

The GE10-B A.R.S. IP65 is an inflator with a Protection degree of IP65 and it allows you to use it outdoor, even in adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, it is equipped with an A.R.S. (Automatica Refilling System), that ensure a constant pressure level inside the inflatable. The GE 10-B A.R.S. IP65 has a rechargeable integrated lead acid battery and it is an easyto-use double-stage inflators.
The first turbine stage provides high air flow rates at low pressure (approx. 50 mbar; 0.8 psi). When the turbine reaches maximum pressure, it switches off and automatically starts the twin cylinder compressor. In this case, there will be less air volume, but much more pressure.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Inflator longer life and better performance can be obtained if the battery is charged when the air temperature is between 18° – 24°C (65°F and 75°F). DO NOT charge the battery with an air temperature below +4.5°C (+40°F), or  above +40.5°C (+105°F). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery.

2. In case of prolonged period of inactivity of the inflator, it is recommended to fully recharge the battery at least once a month.

3. The charger (FIGURE 2) may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate any possible failure.

4. DO NOT immerse the charger in water or any other liquids.
   DO NOT ALLOW ANY LIQUID TO GET INSIDE THE CHARGER.
   ELECTRIC SHOCK MAY RESULT.

5. DO NOT try to charge the battery with any chargers other than those indicated in this manual. The charger and battery are specifically designed to work together.

6. The charger is not intended for any use other than charging the inflator battery. Any other use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

7. Make sure the cable is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

8. Do not use the charger with a damaged cable or plug.

9. Do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.

10. Never use another charger to charge this product. Always use original spare parts only.

USE AND OPERATION

1. Connect the inflator to the provided battery charger, unscrewing the protection cap. (ITEM 2, FIGURE 1)
2. Connect the charger to the power supply using the provided cables. The LED on the charger indicates that the battery has reached 100% charge when it lights up green.
3. When recharging is completed, screw the cover cap back on.
4. Connect the air hose to the outlet port.(ITEM 3, FIGURE 1).
5. Connect the hose to the inflation valve of the inflatable unit using the fittings supplied. It is important to choose the right fitting for the valve and to check that no air leaks are detected. Make sure that there are no kinks, obstructions or leaks in the air path.

WARNING
During battery charging, the inflator must not work. The battery power supply works only if the inflator is not operating.

8.1 TO INFLATE

1. Remove the deflation port plate to allow better suction (see paragraph 8.3).
2. Press ON/OFF switch on the Display
3. The display will show the preset pressure that the inflatable should reach. If you need to change it, see paragraph 9 “HOW TO CHANGE THE PRESSURE SETTINGS”.
4. Press the AUTO CYCLE button. The 2 LEDs s will light up, and after 2 seconds the inflator will start to inflate.
5. The inflator will stop once the set pressure is reached
6. In case of changes in the pressure of the inflatable beyond the set tolerances (Min 30mbar- Max 70mbar) the inflator will automatically activate to refill or in case release air. figure 3

CONSIDER THE MAXIMUM AND APPROPRIATE INFLATION PRESSURE OF THE INFLATABLE. ALWAYS SET THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED PRESSURE USING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR. DO NOT OVERINFLATE.

8.2 TO DEFLATE

1. Insert the deflation port plate. Repeat the sequence described on section 8.3 in reverse.
2. Connect the air hose to the deflation port (ITEM 4, FIGURE 1).
3. Connect the hose to the valve of the inflatable unit using the fittings provided. It is important to choose the proper fitting for the valve and check for air leaks. Make sure there are no constrictions, obstructions or leaks in the air path.
4. Start deflation by pressing the ON/OFF button on the Display.
5. Once the inflatable is completely empty, the inflator will stop itself.

a. Deflation port
b. Lift up the port locking plate
c. Remove the deflation port from its housing
ATTENTION, IN CASE OF OVERHEATING DUE TO PROLONGED USE, THE INFLATOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP TO AVOID DAMAGE TO ITS COMPONENTS.

HOW TO CHANGE THE PRESSURE SETTINGS

A. PRESS MODE to select the unit of measurement (mbar, psi, kPa, bar): press the MODE button multiple times, until you find the desired unit.
B. Changing the inflation pressure using the SET+/SET- buttons: when a button is pressed for 2 seconds, the display starts blinking and the pressure can be adjusted by pressing the SET+/SET- buttons.
After 2 seconds, the display stops blinking and the pressure is memorised. The pressure can be set between 50 and 450 mbar.
C. Changing the filling pressure: when the MIN button is pressed for 3 seconds, the display starts blinking. The value may be changed by using SET+ and SET-. After 2 seconds, the display stops blinking and the value is memorised. The  filling pressure may be adjusted from 30 to 70 mbar with respect to the operating pressure. Example: if you wish to reach an inflation pressure of 250 mbar and the refilling value is set to 50 mbar, when the pressure of the inflatable item  reaches 200 mbar, the inflator switches back on and the ARS system brings the pressure of the inflatable item to 250 mbar.
D. Changing the deflation pressure: when the MAX button is pressed for 3 seconds, the display starts blinking. The value may be changed by using SET+ and SET-. After 2 seconds, the display stops blinking and the value is memorised.  The deflation pressure may be adjusted from 30 to 70 mbar with respect to the operating pressure.
Example: if you wish to reach an inflation pressure of 250 mbar and the deflation value is set to 50 mbar, when the item reaches 300 mbar, the ARS system opens the deflation valve until it reaches 250 mbar.
E. After the changes press AUTO CYCLE: The 2 LEDs light up after 2 seconds and the red LED turns off; the green LED indicates that the GE 1800 ROMA will automatically start to inflate/deflate and refill to the pressure. With the automatic cycle activated (LEDs on), the unit automatically checks the pressure of the inflatable item.

THE INFLATOR CAN BE DAMAGED BY SAND, DUST OR WATER GETTING INSIDE THE INLET PORT. THIS WILL CAUSE OVERHEATING AND WILL DAMAGE THE TURBINE. SHOULD THIS BE THE CASE, IMMEDIATELY SWITCH THE INFLATOR OFF.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The inflator does
not start| Cable not connected properly.| Connect the cable
Battery not charged (GE 10-B only)| Check the battery
Damaged cable.| Contact a SCOPREGA service
centre.
The inflator does
not inflate/deflate| Hose wrong connection.| Connect the air hose to the
correct port.
Low pressure| Possible electronic fault.| Contact a SCOPREGA service
centre.
