6. Using the hoist, support the Air Blaster by the
ring on the end of the tank. Remove the safety
cable.
7. Remove the mounting bolts previously loosened
and lift the Air Blaster clear of the discharge pipe.
If the gasket is damaged, discard it and use a new
gasket of the same type when remounting the Air
Blaster. If the gasket is in good condition, it can be
reused when remounting the Air Blaster.
8. Lower the Air Blaster to the ground and transport
it to an appropriate working area.
Removing the Internal Valve:
Tools Required: Two (2) each socket or box end
wrench, 24" pipe wrench, and large adjustable
wrench. Refer to the Air Blaster parts list in Appendix H.
NOTE
The G-Series QEV and internal
fill line do not have to be

Important!
Do not remove the fill line or QEV from tank.
1. Remove the bolts that fasten the coupling to the
tank flange. Remove the coupling and the gasket

VI. Disassembly and Assembly of the
Air Blaster
Dismounting the Air Blaster:
Tools Required:
Two (2) each socket or box
wrench, 500 lb (230 kg) capacity hoist.
The Air Blaster is fired by a sudden pressure
drop in the air inlet line, therefore, all pressure
within the tank must be relieved before the
tank can be dismounted. Failure to relieve air
pressure may result in unexpected Air Blaster
discharge, causing serious injury or death to
nearby persons.
1. Turn off the air supply to the Air Blaster using
the shut off ball valve.
2. Fire the Air Blaster to relieve all the pressure
within the tank. If it is not possible to fire the Air
Blaster, pull the ring on the pressure relief valve
mounted on the Air Blaster tank.
3. Remove the pressure relief valve from the Air
Blaster.
4. Disconnect the air line from the G-Series Quick
Exhaust Valve (QEV) Air Blaster air inlet port. Do
not remove the QEV from the Air Blaster.
5. Loosen the mounting bolts connecting the Air
Blaster coupling to the discharge pipe. Be sure not
to loosen the bolts connecting the coupling to the
Air Blaster tank.
