2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CaviBlaster 2570-D high-pressure water power unit allows the operator to use the
water flow and pressure to generate cavitation at the end of the proprietary nozzle.
The CaviBlaster cleans the surface of any underwater structure and crushes concrete
using the energy released by the implosion of the bubbles during the cavitation process.
When directed at the surface being cleaned, the energy released by the collapsing
bubbles causes marine growth to be removed from the surface.
The system consists of a portable, zero-thrust gun/guns, connecting high-pressure hose
and a diesel-powered, high-pressure pumping unit. The zero-thrust gun/guns uses a
trigger-operated valve to control the water stream on and off. If the valve is closed, the
power unit goes into bypass mode unloading the engine and the pump.
FULL LOAD is defined as the engine at full throttle / full
speed. If partially throttled, the engine will stall, creating
an undesirable running condition for the belt drive system.
The CaviBlaster 2570-D power unit is a complete “plug and play” system built into a
self-supporting frame that allows quick deployment and/or installation of the unit. Water
can be supplied from either a pressurized source, directly from the natural source via a
belt-driven booster pump supplied with the power unit, or from a gravity feed storage
tank.
The unit is equipped with many features to maintain operator safety while operating at
pressures of 7,250-psi (500 bar .

3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
The CaviBlaster 2570-D power unit is an inherently powerful and potentially dangerous
piece of equipment; however, with proper care and training it can be operated safely.
The 2570 must only be operated by personnel that have read and understand this
manual. It is intended to reinforce and review safety techniques to prevent personal
injuries and property damage.
Users must comply with all local, state, and national laws concerning high-pressure
water jetting equipment as well as all underwater work regulations.
It is strongly recommended that this entire manual be reviewed in-depth before
operating or servicing this equipment. Service work should only be performed by
individuals who are proficient in using and maintaining this equipment. Refer to the
applicable section in this manual for the correct procedures prior to any installation,
setup, or maintenance work.
3.1 Personal Safety
Operation of the CaviBlaster 2570-D underwater cleaning system must only be
attempted by commercial divers or other personnel who have been trained in its
use. Appropriate protective equipment should always be worn. Operation of the
system without the proper equipment and training can result in personal injury.
CaviDyne LLC is not responsible for damages resulting
from a failure to comply with instructions in this manual.
Please read carefully before use.
If inspection or calibration of the CaviBlaster zero-thrust gun/guns
is being conducted out of the water, remember that the zero-thrust
gun/guns has front and rear jets. Never direct the jet streams at a
person or animal. Never direct the jet streams toward power lines
or other high voltage equipment.
