1) Verify that the unit has been properly prepared for operation as described
in Section 4.0
INSTALLATION.
2) Verify that the lance is properly connected to the CaviBlaster
®
and the
ROV.
3) Run the ROV hydraulic system to verify that the CaviBlaster
®
hydraulic
motor and pressure pump are functioning correctly.
5.3 Normal Operation
Normal operation of the CaviBlaster
®
system is defined as user control of water
flow via the lance. In the absence of a diver, control of the power unit is
accomplished by the ROV manipulator. Should a problem develop with the
control valve, discontinue using the CaviBlaster
®
until fixed.
Review the safety requirements for PPE and safe
operation before proceeding.
1) The ROV hydraulic system needs to be operating at a capacity that
matches the water pressure pump requirements for the CaviBlaster
®
2040-ROV to function correctly. Unlike gasoline or diesel engines, a
hydraulic motor will run as fast as the oil supply it receives, which means
that the hydraulic oil supply must be adjusted to match the water pressure
pump requirements. Consult with CaviDyne
TM
to determine if your high
pressure oil supply unit is suitable for use with the CaviBlaster
®
2040-
ROV.
2) Activate the cleaning cavitation stream by turning ON the hydraulic power
unit.
Although the CaviBlaster
®
system is safe to use when
submerged in water, the system generates a high-pressure
(up to 4,000-psi [275 bar]) water stream, which can cause
injury when the lance is out of the water.
ALWAYS
keep the
lance submerged when the pressure pump is engaged.
