Definitions of model designators are identified in Figure 1A. 

STRUCTURAL LIMITS 

Operating conditions such as speed, fluid, viscosity, inlet pressure, temperature, filtration, duty 
cycle, mounting, driving type, etc. are interrelated.  Due to variable conditions, specific 
application limitations may vary from structural limitations.  This equipment must not be
