1) Startup the power unit as described in Section 5.2.
2) Activate the cleaning cavitation stream by squeezing the trigger to the
open or “ON” position (See Figure 5.3). Release trigger to stop the water
flow and direct to bypass.
3) If the diver operating the unit must be replaced or the cleaning operation
must be interrupted or terminated, turn the unit off
and then release the
water pressure in the hose(s) by squeezing the gun trigger to the open or
“ON” position (See Figure 5.3)
while under water
.
Revert back to step 5.2
of the operating instructions when the diver or replacement is ready to
continue cleaning.
Although the CaviBlaster system is safe to use when submerged in
water, the system generates a high-pressure (up to 4,000 psi (276 Bar))
water stream, which can cause injury when the gun is out of the water.
ALWAYS keep the gun submerged when the pressure pump is running.
5.4 Adjusting the CaviBlaster for Maximum Performance
The pressure at the nozzle of the zero-thrust gun has to be maintained within
certain limits to achieve cavitation and for best performance results. Using a
calibration pressure gauge tool situated between the pressure hose and the
CaviBlaster zero-thrust gun, (See Figure 5.2) the water pressure should be 4,000
psi (276 BAR) with the gun submerged and the gun trigger in the open or “ON”
position. For best results, repeat this calibration procedure if cleaning
performance degrades, or every 3 months at a minimum.
To calibrate the pressure at the zero-thrust gun, follow the procedure below:
-
Stop the power unit and pull the gun trigger to discharge any residual
pressure in the hose lines.
-
Disconnect the gun with its whip hose from the main pressure hose line.
A calibration gauge is recommended with every unit. Connect
between the main pressure hose and the whip hose or gun. See
figure 5.2.
