It is important to keep the feed hose in the water source when the
engine is running and the clutch is engaged or damage to the pressure
pump will result.
To use force feed from an alternate source:
When feeding the CaviBlaster
with an alternate water source,
the
source must supply water at a volume of greater than 30 gallons (114
liters) per minute at a maximum pressure of 100-psi (6.9 bar).
Connect a 1-1/2” cam-lock socket on the water supply hose to the
water inlet connection on the end panel (See Figure 2.3).
Turn on the alternate water source.
Ensure that the feed hose is connected to the inlet
connection and the water supply is on prior to
starting the pressure pump. Failure to supply water
to the pressure pump will cause damage to the pump.
To use gravity feed:
Locate the water supply tank so that the tank outlet is higher than the
water inlet on the control panel (See Figures 2.3 and 4.4).
Connect a minimum 1-1/2” hose to the water inlet 1-1/2” cam-lock plug.
Connect the other end of the hose to the water supply tank outlet.
Make sure the lowest point in the hose line is the connection with the
power unit.
It is essential that adequate water is supplied to the water supply tank
to maintain the water level several inches above the tank outlet. Failure
to maintain an adequate water level in the supply tank could starve the
pressure pump of water causing damage to the seals or other
components of the pressure pump.
Ensure that the water source can reliably deliver the required pump flow of 25
gpm (95 LPM). A minimum delivery of 30 GPM (114 LPM) is recommended to
ensure that the pump is not starved of water. If connecting to a gravity feed tank,
locate the tank outlet above the water inlet connection on the power unit to
ensure a flooded suction line. (See Figure 4.4)
