Operating the CaviBlaster® system:
1.
When the diver is ready to commence cleaning operations, ensure that the
gun is submerged in water. Then move the throttle lever up to adjust the
engine RPM to “MAX”.
2.
Ensure that the power unit operator and other persons working in the
vicinity of the power unit wear appropriate hearing protection when the
engine is running. If the diver is not wearing a helmet, hearing protection is
recommended. CaviDyne™ recommends “Doc’s Proplugs” vented earplugs
or equivalent for diver hearing protection.
3.
Activate the cleaning cavitation stream by squeezing the trigger to the open
or “ON” position.
4.
The most efficient operating technique is to hold the gun 2-3 inches away
from the surface to be cleaned and at a 25° to 45° angle to the surface being
cleaned. Placing the gun closer than 2-3 inches from the surface being
cleaned will not allow for efficient cavitation performance and will degrade
the cleaning capability of the system. (Figure-18).
5.
Wear neoprene or rubber gloves to protect the hands and follow all safety
regulations that may be applicable to the work being performed.
6.
If the diver operating the unit must be replaced or the cleaning operation
must be interrupted or terminated, shut down the engine by moving the
throttle lever down to adjust engine RPM to
“MIN” (Figure 16) and turning
the engine to the “OFF” position (figure 12). Turn off the water feed and then
release the water pressure in the hose(s) by squeezing the gun trigger to the
open or “ON” position
while under water
. Revert back to step 1 of the
operating instructions when the replacement diver is ready to continue
cleaning.
7.
Ensure that the gun is submerged any time the engine and pressure pump
are operating.
