□
Use the pump solely for transporting lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that contain
no gas or solid components.
□
Use the pump only within the operating limits specified on the rating plate and in the chapter "Techni-
cal data". In the case of operating data that do not agree with the specifications on the rating plate,
please contact the manufacturer.
□
The pump is designed specially for the operating pressure named by the customer. If the actual ope-
rating pressure deviates notably from this design pressure, damage can also arise within the speci-
fied operating limits. This applies both to notably higher as well as to notably lower operating pressu-
res. Under no circumstances should the operating pressure drop below the minimum pressure of 2
bar. In case of any doubt, please contact the manufacturer.
