• a person, normally belonging to the after-sales centre, specifically trained and authorised to perform special
maintenance jobs and repairs on the pump and on the machine in which this is integrated. It should be
remembered that jobs on the electrical parts must be performed by a Skilled Technician who is also a
Professional Electrician, meaning a person professionally qualified and trained to check, install and repair
electrical apparatus in a "workmanlike" manner and in accordance with the laws applicable in the country
where the machine integrating the pump is installed.
