14.  Inspect Tube End 

Threads & Seat 

Again, inspect the 

threads and seat area 

for pitting and wear.  If 

acceptable, proceed; 

otherwise send tubes 

to Pneumat for re-

pair. 

15. Install New Copper  

Gasket 

Place a new copper 

gasket in the tube 

making sure it is sitting 

flat down against the 

seat.

16.  Install New Shear 

Disc  

Place a new shear 

disc in the tube, round-

ed edge down, so it is 

resting flat against the 

copper washer.

17.  Inspect Discharge 

Head

Inspect the cutting 

edge of the discharge 

head looking for a 

clean sharp corner.  If 

the edge is not sharp 

send to Pneumat for 

repair.

18.  Oil Discharge Head 

Threads

Place a small amount 

of oil along threads to 

lubricate them.  

19.  Re-install and Tight-

en Discharge Head

Start threading the 

discharge head by 

hand into the tube end.  

Tighten securely with 

the air impact wrench.

20.  Rotate Tube 180º in 

Vise

Again, rotate the tube 

180º so the fill head 

end is up.

21.  Install New Cardox 

Safety Heater in Tube

Place a new Cardox 

Safety Heater into the 

tube. Inspect the heat-

er to insure the center 

contact wire is in place 

and will be contacted 

by the electrode in the 

fill head.

22.  Oil Fill Head Threads

Place a small amount 

of oil along threads to 

lubricate them. 

23.  Re-install & Tighten 

Fill Head

Start threading the 

fill head by hand into 

the tube end.  Tighten 

securely with the air 

impact wrench.  

24.  Check Continuity

Check circuit continu-

ity with the Blasters 

Ohmmeter (1-3 ohms).  

If not in range, remove 

the fill head and check 

electrode for cleanli-

ness.  Replace heater 

if contacts were good 

and re-tighten.

25.

Rotate Tube & Remove

Rotate the tube 90º in 

the vise.  Release pres-

sure on the vise with 

the manual foot valve, 

remove tube.The tube 

is now ready for storage 

or charging with CO

2 

 in 

the fill stand.

NOTE:

  Pneumat does not recommend the use of a pneumatic 

rotary brush to clean the equipment.  This will degrade the threads 

and ultimately shorten tube and head life.
