BEFORE OPERATION
Check that you have received your EAGLE PORTABLE TIRE BLASTER and AIR TANK in good condition
with no signs of damage. Please familiarize yourself with the components of this product (see component
drawing on page 2). NOTE: The tire blaster tool should arrive fully assembled except for the
threaded barrel which must be firmly threaded onto the release valve assembly before use. Read the
following instructions and safety information before using this produce.
FILLING THE TIRE BLASTER TOOL WITH AIR
The tire blaster tool can be filled with air from any general commercial compressed air source. Please
refer to the tank pressure information table (on page 7) for more information on tire type and suggested
tank pressure before proceeding.
1. Make sure the air release valve is closed and attach the air supply line to the air connector on the tire
blaster.
2. Open the air intake valve to fill the tire blaster tank to the desired air pressure.
3. When the pressure gauge indicates that the suggested tank pressure has been reached, close the
air intake valve.
4. Disconnect the air supply line from the air connector.
USING THE TIRE BLASTER:
HORIZONTAL TIRE/WHEEL POSITION
WARNING:
Always wear OSHA and ANSI approved safety gloves and eye protection when using the tire blaster. Make
sure the area is clear of bystanders or hazardous materials before operating.
1. Position the wheel and tire flat on a tire stand so that the lower side wall is slightly off the floor.
2. Be sure to seat the lower tire bead on the bottom flange of the wheel.
3. Before attempting to seat the bead, make sure barrel flange (12) is on top (on the same side as the
valve assembly shown on page 2). Rotate barrel to this position if necessary before proceeding.
4. Firmly hold the tire blaster by the handle and position barrel at an approximate 45ยบ downward
angle and place the barrel flange (12) on the upper edge of the wheel rim opposite the tire valve into
the opening between the tire and rim. See drawing below.
