WARNING

While the CaviBlaster

®  

system is very safe, operators should exercise care when using  the 

equipment. The cavitation “flame” can be safely passed over the operators’ skin at normal 

operating distances of 2” – 3” from the tip of the nozzle. However, at very close distances 

(typically less than 1”) both nozzles are capable of causing harm to the  operator, particularly 

in the initial instant that the system is activated. For that reason, 

operators should exercise 

caution when operating the gun with the nozzles in close proximity to the body. The 

operators  should  also ensure that  the  reverse-thrust  nozzle guard  is secured  in the 

correct position prior to operating the gun.

The operators of the CaviBlaster

®  

system should always wear neoprene or heavy rubber 

gloves  

to provide protection to the hands and, in particular, to the nails. The gloves will 

absorb most of the energy produced by bursting cavitation bubbles and prevent the cavitation 

bubbles from contacting the operators’ hands. The gloves will also protect operators’ hands 

from the initial shockwave when the gun is activated.

Serious harm and injury may result from the misuse of CaviBlaster

® 

system equipment 

or   improperly   selected   fittings,   hoses   or   attachments.  

All   components   of   the   system 

should be checked against the manufacturers’ instructions to ensure that they are compatible 

with the pressures being used and of the correct thread type and pressure rating for the 

intended service. Refer to these Operating Instructions and to the engine  and pressure pump 

manufacturers’ operation manuals for instructions or call      CaviDyne, 

LLC at (352) 275-5319 

with any questions.

CAUTION:  

DO   NOT   USE   IT   TO   CLEAN   SENSITIVE 

SURFACES

  as   LED-Lights,   Underwater   Lights, 

Electronic Equipment, Etc.
