2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CaviBlaster®2040-ROV 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 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 high-pressure pumping unit designed for submersible
ROV use and a high pressure cavitation lance (connected to ROV manipulator) with
connecting high pressure hose.
The CaviBlaster®2040-ROV power unit is a complete “plug and play” system built on a
supporting platform that allows quick deployment and/or installation of the unit. Water is
supplied directly from the unit operating environment.
The unit is equipped with many features to maintain safety while operating at pressures
of 4,000-psi (275 bar).

2.1 Using this Manual
Every attempt has been made to ensure that this documentation is complete and
accurate at the time of publication. It is imperative; however, that anyone
attempting to use this manual must have good comprehension of how this
equipment operates. Further, this manual can in no way replace the common
sense of an individual. If at any time this manual seems to contradict itself, or
common sense, discontinue the procedure, re-read the section, and seek
assistance from CaviDyneTM or other personnel familiar with the operation of this
equipment.
2.2 Conventions
The first time a component is mentioned, it is typically followed by a figure
reference; e.g., Emergency Stop button (See Figure 2.1). Figure numbers and
section numbers are always coincident.
When other sections are referenced the SECTION NAME will appear in italic
caps. The electronic version allows users to click on the section name or figure
reference to jump to that section. The words “This space intentionally left
blank” will appear where there is more than 3 inches of white space.
(EOS) will appear above the page number on the last page of each section.
2.3 Scope
This manual covers installation, operation, and maintenance of the CaviBlaster®
2040-ROV. It is essential that personnel who will operate and/or service this
equipment familiarize themselves with this manual. Standard components, such
as the unit engine and pump, are covered by the manufacturer’s literature found
in the Appendix.

3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
The CaviBlaster®2040-ROV power unit is an inherently powerful and potentially
dangerous piece of equipment; however, with proper care and training it can be
operated safely. The 2040-ROV 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 this equipment. Refer to the applicable section in
this manual for the correct procedures prior to any installation, setup, or maintenance
work.
Note that the oil pressure compensator is not a pressurized component and therefore
not a safety hazard. It is open at one end and connected to the pressure pump oil
chamber at the other end. Its purpose is simply to balance the oil pressure in the water
pressure pump with the unit’s surrounding environmental pressure to prevent damage
to the water pressure pump.
3.1 Personal Safety
Operation of the CaviBlaster®2040-ROV underwater submersible ROV-mounted
cleaning system must only be operated by personnel who have been trained in
its use. Operation of the system without the proper training can result in property
damage and damage to the CaviBlaster® unit.
CaviDyneTM, LLC is not responsible for damages resulting
from a failure to comply with instructions in this manual.
Please read carefully before use.
