7. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PUMP USE
The HF pump has been designed to operate in environments with atmospheres that are not potentially
explosive, with filtered water (see par. 9.7) and at a maximum temperature of 104° F (40° C). Other liquids can
be used only upon approval by
Customer Service Department.
7.1 Water temperature
Water temperature is critical for the pump life, the higher it is, the more likely it is to create cavitation, resulting in pre-
mature seal and valve failures. The maximum permissible water temperature is 104° F (40° C). However, the pump can
be used with water temperature of 140° F (60° C), but only for a short period of time. In this case, it is best to consult
Customer Service Department.
7.2 Maximum Pressure and Flow Rate
The performance data indicated in the catalog and on the rating plate refer to the maximum performance of the pump.
The use of the pump below the rated performances does not allow the drop in power absorbed to be balanced by
altering the pressure or volume of the pump above its maximum value unless especially authorized by our
Customer
Service Department.
7.3 Lowest operating RPM
The lowest operating speed allowed for these types of pumps is 100 RPM for non-continuous periods; any rpm
other than as shown in the performance table (see chapter 5) must be expressly and authorized
Customer Service
Department.

7.5 Brands and Types of Oil Recommended
The pump is supplied with oil suitable for room temperatures for 32° F to 86° F (0° C to 30° C).
Some types of recommended oil are indicated in the table below, these oils have additives to increase corrosion resis-
tance and fatigue resistance (DIN 51517 Part 2). Alternatively you can also use Automotive Gear SAE 85W-90 oil.
