Page 10: Personal Protective Equipment
If the diver is not wearing a diving helmet, hearing protection is recommended. CAVIDYNE suggest wearing vented earplugs, such as “Doc’s Proplugs”, for diver hearing protection. The operators of the CaviBlaster system should always wear neoprene or heavy rubber gloves to provide protection to the hands and, in particular, to the nails. - Page 11 Components used throughout this assembly were specifically designed or selected to safely meet the unique high-pressure requirements. Only replace parts with those recommended by or supplied by CAVIDYNE LLC. Any unapproved modifications will void the equipment warranty. Unauthorized modification or part substitution can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

Page 16: Water Supply Conditions
Connect the cam-lock socket on the 1-1/2” clear PVC feed hose to the water inlet connection on the control panel (See Figure 2.2). Place the other end of the hose in the water supply. Page 16/35 For more information please email sales@cavidyne.com or call 1-(352)275-5319... - Page 17 Ensure that the water source can reliably deliver the maximum pump flow of 50 GPM (190 LPM). A minimum flow of 50 GPM (180 LPM) is recommended Page 17/35 For more information please email sales@cavidyne.com or call 1-(352)275-5319...
- Page 18 Ensure that the feed hose is connected to the inlet connection and the water supply is on prior to starting the pressure pump.
