1.8 Limit values for the pump
The limit values for the pump (max. speed, max. pressure, max. temperature) are stated in the data sheet (see page 4). These
limit values must never be exceeded under any circumstances! This applies in particular when using a frequency converter.
If the pumps are supplied without a drive, the following values apply!
