1. IDENTIFICATION, PACKAGING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
1.1 IDENTIFICATION
Each pump is fitted with a metal identification plate (Fig. 1)
which as well as indicating the manufacturer's name and address
and CE mark, displays its technical data, such as:
- Type of pump
- Serial Number
- Flow rate
- Speed (RPM)
- Head
In the case of an assembly (Fig. 2) also:
- Maximum pressure
- Motor power

the industrial sector.
Limitaons for pump usage are indicated in chapter 2 “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS”.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO
PERSONS OR THINGS DUE TO EITHER WRONG OR NOT ALLOWED INTERVENTIONS ON THE PUMPS NOT
ALLOWED.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
