Print Page1. The most efficient operating technique is to hold the nozzle 2-5 inches (5-12 cm) away from the surface
to be cleaned and at a 25° to 45° angle to the surface being cleaned. The diver needs to observe the shape
of the cavitating jet cone. At greater depths, the higher ambient pressure will cause the jet cone to be
shorter. The widest zone of the cone is the most efficient part of the cavitating jet. Placing the nozzle
closer than 2 inches (5 cm) from the surface being cleaned will not allow for efficient cavitation
performance and will degrade the cleaning capability of the CaviBlaster® system.
2. Follow all safety regulations that may be applicable to the work being performed.
3. If the diver operating the CaviBlaster® unit must be replaced or the cleaning operation must be
terminated, disengage the pressure pump by pulling down the throttle lever in to the idle position and
release the water pressure remaining in the hose(s) by moving the gun trigger to the open or "ON"
position while under water. Revert to step 1 of the operating instructions when the diver or replacement
is ready to continue cleaning.
WARNING: Although the CaviBlaster® system is safe to use when submerged in water,
the system generates a high pressure (up to 2,000-psi) water stream, which can cause
injury when the gun is out of the water. ALWAYS keep the gun submerged when the
pressure pump is engaged.
