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.
When the diver is ready to commence cleaning operations, ensure that the gun trigger is in the open or “ON”
position (Figure # 15 ), the gun is submerged in the water and the feed pump is operating prior to throttling up
the engine. Ensure that the power unit operator and other people working in the vicinity of the power unit
wear appropriate hearing protection when the engine is running.
1.
Engage the pressure pump by pushing the throttle knob (Figure # 16 ) to the operating speed
position (fully extended) to engage the centrifugal clutch.
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 (Figure # 18).
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.
4.
If the diver operating the CaviBlaster unit must be replaced or the cleaning operation must be
terminated, disengage the pressure pump by pulling down the throttle lever into the idle position
(Figure # 16) and release the water pressure remaining in the hose(s) by moving the gun trigger
to the open or “ON” position while under water. Revert to step 1 of the operating instructions
when the diver or replacement is ready to continue cleaning.
