If  using  a  pressure  gauge  located  on  the 
CaviBlaster

TM

  power  unit,  the  water  is  adjusted  as 

described  in  step  1  above.    However,  pressure  will 
need to be higher to account for sidewall friction loss 
in  the  pressure  hose.    The  pressure  at  the  pump 
should  be  2,200-psi  plus  0.75-psi  per  foot  of 
thermoplastic  pressure  hose.    For  example,  if  using 
the CaviBlaster

TM

 with 100 feet of pressure hose, the 

pressure  gauge  located  next  to  the  pump  should 
indicate 2,275-psi.  Pressure adjustments are made in 
the  same  manner  as  described  above.   

There  should 

always be a trickle of water through the bypass when 
the  Zero  Thrust  Gun  trigger  is  in  the  open  or  “ON” 
position.

If adjusting the CaviBlaster

TM

 without a pressure 

gauge, close the pressure-regulating unloader  until

 

there is just a trickle of water (less than ¼ gallon or 1

 

liter per minute)  coming  out of the bypass  with the 

 

Zero Thrust Gun trigger in the open or “ON” position.

 

 
 

Shutting down the CaviBlaster

TM

 power unit: 

 

1.

 

Stop the motor by depressing the red “STOP” button (Figure 8) on the motor controller. 
 

2.

 

Shut off the supply of water to the pump. 
 

3.

 

Squeeze the Zero Thrust Gun trigger to the open or “ON” position (Figure 9) to release the 
water pressure remaining in the hose(s) 

while the Zero Thrust Gun is submerged

.

 

 

4.

 

It is now safe to remove the Zero Thrust Gun from the water. 

 
5.

 

Flush the system and rinse the power unit with fresh water at the end of the day. 

 
 

Maintenance of the CaviBlaster

TM

 unit: 

 

1.

 

Empty and clean the inline strainer every day. 

 
2.

 

Check the pressure pump oil level and consistency every day. 

 

3.

 

Flush the system and rinse the power unit with fresh water after each days use. 

 

4.

 

Inspect the pump drive belt every week and replace the belt when cracking appears.
