- Page 6 Recommendations for Effective Results. Once the engine is throttled up to operating speed and the water trigger is pulled, the diver has to find the most effective distance between the gun nozzle and the surface being cleaned. When the diver is ready to commence cleaning operations, ensure that the gun trigger is in the open or “ON” position ( See Figure 19 ), the gun is submerged in the water and the feed pump is operating prior to throttling up the engine.
- Page 7 Figure 19 – Gun Position for Best Results WARNING ® Although the CaviBlaster system is safe to use when submerged in water, the system generates a high- pressure (up to 2,200-psi) water stream, which can cause injury when the gun is out of the water ALWAYS Keep the gun submerged when the pressure pump is engaged.
