5. Open ball valve to release air from the tire blaster tool.
6. Once you have successfully seated the tire, connect an air supply line to the tire valve to complete tire
inflation to correct pressure.
USING THE TIRE BLASTER:
VERTICAL TIRE / WHEEL POSITION
WARNING:
Always wear OSHA and ANSI approved safety gloves and eye protection when using the tire blaster
tool. Make sure the area is clear of bystanders or hazardous materials before operating.
NOTE: USE EXTREME CAUTION
This method should only be used when there is a large gap between the wheel rim and tire bead
or if the tire is too heavy.
WARNING:
If the tire and wheel are not properly supported, they may fall forward when inflating causing harm to the
tire blaster operator. PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION!
1. Position the tire and wheel so that it is tilted slightly back and secure it with a tire wedge. Make sure
that the tire and wheel are supported away from the wall to be sure once inflated the tire and wheel
DO NOT FALL FORWARD CAUSING INJURY.
2. The back bead of the tire (furthest from the operator) should be seated against the wheel rim
trapping out any air. The front or wide flange of the wheel should be facing the operator with the
tire valve stem positioned at the bottom of the tire.
3. Rotate the barrel so the barrel flange (12) is underneath (on the opposite side of the valve assembly
shown on page 2).
4. Firmly hold the tire blaster by the handle and position barrel at an approximate 45º downward angle
and place the barrel flange (12) on the edge of the wheel rim near the top of the wheel, opposite the
tire valve, into the opening between the tire and rim. See drawing below.
