Spare Parts
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The designer is responsible for providing a

NOTES: Where possible to meet the required pump
speed with the given prime mover speed, and when the
prime mover has a horizontal shaft, a single
reduction spiral bevel gear reducer should be
chosen. Reduction ratios of up to 7:1 are
practical. Ratios of up to 10:1 are possible but
should be used only after consultation with
manufacturers. Double reduction reducers may be
required when required reduction ratios are too
high. Where a vertical shaft prime mover is to be
used, the designer should choose between a parallel
