From head capacity curve:
Minimum weakest pump flow = 27 gpm
Minimum strongest pump flow = 65 gpm
Total minimum flow of pumps in a typical application with 2 pumps operating in parallel.

3.3 LUBRICATION
A “Trico” brand oiler is normally furnished with the pump unless otherwise specified. If your pump
has oil mist type of lubrication, oiler and oiling rings are not provided. For bearings lubricated by
