with filtered water (see paragraph 9.7) and at
maximum temperature of 185 0 F.
Other fluids may be used only upon the
approval of The Customer Service
Department .
7.2 Max Flow Rate and Pressure Values
The performance values indicated in the catalog refer to
the maximum performance of the pump. Regardless of the
power used, pressure and maximum RPM values indicat-
ed on the plate may not be exceeded unless expressly
authorized by the Customer Service Department.
7.3 Lowest RPM
Any RPM value different from what is indicated in the per-
formance table (see chapter 5) must be expressly author-
ized by the Customer Service Department.
7.4 Recommended Lubricant Oil Types & Manufacturers
The pump is delivered with lubricant oil compliant with
room temperatures ranging between 0
0 and 30 0 C (32 0
and 89.6 0 F). Some recommended lubricant types are
indicated in the table below; these lubricants are treated
additives in order to increase corrosion protection and
resistance to fatigue. As an alternative, Automotive SAE
85W-90 gearing lubricants may also be used.

Check the oil level by using the oil level dipstick (1), fig. 3.
Refill if needed. Correct oil level inspection is done with the
pump at room temperature; oil is changed with the pump at
working temperature, by removing the oil drain plug (2), fig
3 and the oil level dipstick (1), fig. 3.
Oil inspection and changing is to be carried out as indicat-
ed in the table in fig. 14, Chapter 11. The amount required
is 67.6 oz. (2 liters).
In any case, oil must be changed at least
once a year since it may deteriorate by
oxidation.
For room temperatures that differ from that men-
tioned earlier, follow the indications contained in
the diagram below, keeping in mind that the oil
must have a minimum viscosity of 180 cSt.
Exhausted oil must be collected in an appro-
priate recipient and disposed of in appropri-
ate locations. In absolutely no case may it be
dispersed into the environment.
