5.5 Recommendations for Effective Results
Once the engine is throttled up to operating speed and the water trigger is pulled,
the diver has to find the most effective distance between the gun nozzle and the
surface being cleaned.
1.
Engage the pressure pump by pulling the PTO lever (See Figure 2.3) to the
ON position to engage the clutch. Push in the red knob on the control panel
(See figure 5.1), pull the cable all the way out and twist the black knob to lock.
2.
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 degree angle to
the surface being cleaned (See Figure 5.3).
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.
3.
Follow all safety regulations that may be applicable to the work being
performed.
