GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
LUBRICATE
Lubricating all tire beads properly before using the tire blaster tool is important. Failing to lubricate beads
may result in poor seating.
TIRE BLASTER ANGLE
Always hold the tire blaster tool at an angle so that the barrel points directly into the gap between the tire
and rim, about 45º from vertical or horizontal depending on tire wheel position. This is important to
ensure proper seating so that air does not hit the outside of the tire pushing the tire away OR the inside of the
rim disallowing air to enter the tire.
TIRE BLASTER TOOL APPLICATION
The most effective position to apply the tire blasting tool is opposite the tire valve, and where the gap is
largest. This results in both sides of the tire receiving an air supply, and ensures that the maximum
amount of air enters the tire, creating the maximum lift. If a wedge has been properly used, the largest
gap should be opposite the valve.
STORAGE
Always store the tire blaster in a cool, dry place, hanging by the handle with the air release valve open
to ensure any built-up moisture drains from the tank; this also protects the barrel and attachments
from damage.
NEVER STORE OR TRANSPORT A CHARGED TIRE BLASTER. ALWAYS CHARGE BEFORE USE
AND DISCHARGE AFTER USE!
WARNING:
Be cautious of compressed air hazards, and keep away from flammable materials and vapors. Do not
use the tire blaster for any other purpose than what it was designed for. In particular:
DO NOT store or transport a charged tank.
DO NOT use it for dusting down equipment or people.
DO NOT discharge the tire blaster tool towards anyone.
DO NOT clean a tire with a flammable solvent before using.
DO NOT subject the tank to any stress or impact that might weaken it.
CONSTRUCTION
The barrel is threaded on to the air intake valve to allow for rotation. Before operating, the barrel must be
orientated and tightened in accordance with the manual diagram on page 2. Pressure gauge accuracy
is +/- 10%.
AIR SUPPLY/CHARGING
The EAGLE Tire Blaster has been tested and approved to ensure quality. The pressure release
valve has been tested and cannot exceed 150 psi (10.3 bar). Ensure that the tire blaster tool is only
charged immediately before use. The tire blaster tool must be charged from a clean, dry air
supply, and should only be charged from a low pressure airline system (up to 150 psi/10.3 bar). Never
fill with anything other than air at ambient temperature.
