1 General Details
1.1 User Information
This operator’s manual makes it easier to get to
know the centrifugal pump and to make full use
of its facilities.
The operator’s manual contains important in-
structions how to use the centrifugal pump safe-
ly, properly and economically. Your careful
attention to these instructions will help to avoid
danger, to reduce repair costs and breakdowns

it in case of queries, when placing subsequent
orders and especially when ordering spare parts.
