1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions for use, maintenance and repair of the speed reduction unit for 71 and 72 Series pumps
and must be read carefully before the gearbox is installed and used. Unless otherwise stated, reference should be made
to the specific manual for each pump. The regular functioning and working life of the pump require that the latter be used
and maintained correctly. General Pump will accept no responsibility for damage caused by negligence or by failure to
abide by the specifications given in this manual.
On receiving the reduction gear unit, check that it is complete and report any irregularities before installing on the pump.
3. SAFETY
Improper use of pumps and high pressure systems, and refusal to comply with regulations for installation and
maintenance, may lead to serious damage to persons and/or objects. Personnel who either install or use high pressure
systems must have the required qualifications, must know the characteristics of the components to be assembled or used
and, finally, must adopt all precautions necessary to ensure maximum safety under any type of operating conditions. In the
interests of safety, no reasonable precaution should be omitted either by the installer or the operator.
