WARNING

Although   the   CaviBlaster

®  

system   is   safe   to   use   when   submerged   in

water,   the   system   generates   a   high-   pressure   (up   to   2,200-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.
