The CaviBlaster 4030-D power unit consists of a 99HP (74 kW) Kohler KDi 3404 TCR diesel power-pack and a UDOR VXX-B 160/180-R triplex plunger pump. Detailed performance and specifications are listed below: CaviBlaster 4030-D Specifications Nominal Pump Flow 40 GPM (153 L/M)
Stall, Creating An Undesirable Running Condition For The Belt Drive System. The CaviBlaster 4030-D power unit is a complete “plug and play” system built into a selfsupporting 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 beltdriven booster pump supplied with the power unit, or from a gravity feed storage tank.

If at any time this manual seems to contradict itself, or common sense, discontinue the procedure, re-read the section, and seek assistance from CaviDyne or other personnel familiar with the operation of this equipment.
(EOS) 3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION The CaviBlaster 4030-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 4030-D must only be operated by personnel that have read and understand this manual.
Personnel operating or working in the vicinity of the power unit should wear appropriate hearing protection when the CaviBlaster system is in use. If the diver is not wearing a diving helmet, hearing protection is recommended. CaviDyne suggest wearing vented earplugs, such as “Doc’s Proplugs” or equivalent, for diver hearing protection.
Only replace parts with those recommended by or supplied by CaviDyne. Any unapproved modifications will void the equipment warranty. Unauthorized modification or part substitution can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
4.1 Uncrating and Lifting Unpack the equipment and inspect for damage. If damage is found, immediately contact CaviDyne and the shipping company. If the unit will not be installed immediately, provide adequate indoor storage to protect against damage. The CaviBlaster power unit should be lifted from underneath the frame using the forklift channels or by using the lifting eyes provided on top of the frame.

If connecting to a gravity feed tank, locate the tank outlet above the water inlet connection on the power unit to ensure a flooded suction line. (See Figure 2.2) Page 17 CaviDyne LLC – Operating Manual for CaviBlaser 4030-D www.cavidyne.com sales@cavidyne.com...
(EOS) 5.0 OPERATION The CaviBlaster 4030-D should be operated by two (2) properly trained individuals. One, the diver, operates the zero-thrust gun, while the other operates the power unit. Both operators should be in audio or visual communication with each other.
5.2 Startup of the CaviBlaster Before starting the CaviBlaster 4030-D power unit, review all safety requirements found in Section 3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION. This equipment should only be operated by individuals who have read and understand the CaviBlaster Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Should a problem develop with the control valve, discontinue using the CaviBlaster until fixed. The CaviBlaster 4030-D power unit is designed to operate at full throttle. Less than full throttle will result in malfunction of the belt drive system and less than optimum cleaning performance.
