1- GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1- The reduction gear is designed to be operated by a gasoline
or diesel engine and to be coupled to the Interpump Group high
pressure pumps. It must be used in connection with other
mechanical units/components in order to create a system with a
definite function.

1.2- Since the reduction gear is used within a complete system,
installation and use must be suited to the type of system used
and comply with the safety Regulations in force in the Country
where the reduction gear is used.

1.3- Before using the reduction gear, make sure that the system
the reduction gear is used with is certified to comply with the
relevant Directives and/or Regulations.

1.4- Before installing and using the reduction gear for the first
time, we suggest you check that it is undamaged and make sure
that the rated features correspond to the required ones. If this is
not the case, do not use the reduction gear and contact the after-
sales service of Interpump Group for information.

1.5- In order to install the reduction gear correctly, follow the
instructions for the assembly and for the connections with pump
and engine as stated in this instruction manual and/or on the
reduction gear itself.

1.6-  Assembly  and  installation  must  be  made  by  qualified  staff
only,  who  must  have  the  necessary  mechanical  and  technical
skills  and  be  informed  of  the  operating  and  safety  instructions
contained in this document.

1.7- In view of a correct functioning of the reduction gear, and in
particular of the pump it is coupled to, the rating of the engine
used must be suited to the pump performance. In any case, the
engine power must not exceed 18.5 kW (25HP).

In case of doubts, do not hesitate to contact the
after-sales service of Interpump Group.

1.8- The installer must provide the ultimate consumer with the
proper instructions for the correct use of the engine-reduction

gear-pump assembly and, if necessary, of the system the

instructions stated on the packages themselves and/or provided
by the manufacturer.

2.2- In case the reduction gear is not  used immediately, it must
be stored in its integral package  and placed in areas which are
not  exposed  to  the  weather  and  protected  from  excessive
humidity  and  from  direct  sunlight.  Moreover,  it  is  advisable  to
place  wooden  pallets  or  other  types  of  pallets  between  the
package and the floor, in order to prevent the direct contact with
the ground.

2.3- The package components must be disposed of in
compliance with the relevant laws in force.
