2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CaviBlaster®2828-E60 high-pressure water power unit is designed to use 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 created 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, connecting high-pressure hose and
an electric motor-powered, high-pressure pumping unit. The zero-thrust gun uses a
trigger-operated valve to control the water stream off and on. If the valve is closed, the
power unit goes into bypass mode unloading the engine and the pump.
The CaviBlaster®2828-E60 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 an
electric feed 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 2,800 psi (190BAR) with safety overload protection rating to 3,080 psi
(209BAR).

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 sectionname 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.

3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
The CaviBlaster®2828-E60 power unit is an inherently powerful and potentially
dangerous piece of equipment; however, with proper care and training it can be operated
safely. The 2828-E60 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.
3.1 Personal Safety
Operation of the CaviBlaster®2828-E60 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.
CaviDyneTM, LLC is not responsible for damages resulting
from a failure to comply with instructions in this manual.
Please read carefully before use.
If maintenance or repair of the CaviBlaster®gun is being
conducted out of the water, remember that the zero-
thrust gun 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.
