2.2. General Safety Precautions
General regulations and guidelines not mentoined in the
safety warnings retain their validity.
These operating instructions contain basic instruc-
tions, which have to be adhered to during installation, op-
eration and maintenance. These operating instructions
must be read from mechanic and the operator before in-
stallation and operation of the pump and have to be kept
available at the operating place of the machine/unit at all
times. Persons who are not familiar with the operating in-
structions shall not use this product.
Children and adolescents under age 16 shall not use
the pump and must keep away from the machine/unit
while it is operational.
The working area has to be closed off expediently
and must adhere to local workplace regulations.
Always use personal safety equipment such as safety
boots, rubber gloves, safety glasses and helmet.
Make sure that the emergency exit from the work-
place is not barricaded.
To prevent suffocation and poisoning caused by ven-
omous gases, make sure that enough oxygen exists at
the workplace.
If you have to work with welding tools or electric tools,
make sure that there is no explosion hazard.
Immediately after repair or maintenance work, all
safety and protection equipment must be reinstalled and
placed in function again.
The operator of the pump is responsible for third par-
ties within the work area.
Never put a hand or finger into suction inlet or dis-
charge of the pump while the impeller is rotating.
Persons are not permitted to stay in the pumping me-
dium during operation of the pump.
All other rules and regulations and local codes cover-
ing health and safety must be observed. In accordance
with product liability law, we point out that we shall not be
liable for damages caused by the pump due to non-
observance of the instructions and guidelines set forth in
the operating instructions. The same product liability are
valid for accessories.
3. Applications and Technical Description
3.1. Applications
If the pump is used for cleaning or maintenance of
swimming pools, make sure that no persons stay in the
swimming pool during operation of the pump and that the
pump is self-assured by a 30 mA earth leakage circuit
breaker.
Barracuda GRP pumps are designed for pumping waste
water, effluent or groundwater, containing sludge or soft
solids. The pumps are equipped with a cutter system at
the pump inlet which cuts all soft solids to small particles,
so that the liquid may be pumped through small diameter
discharge pipes of 50 mm ø.
The pumps are used for installations of conventional
sewer systems in areas of low population or under difficult
topographic conditions.
The pumps must not be used for pumping of liquids con-
taining great quantities of abrasive solids, like sand or
stones. Before the pumping of chemically aggressive liq-
uids, the resistance of the pump materials must be
checked.
The pumps may be used for both temporary or permanent
installation. The installation can be free-standing on a
base-stand or by means of an auto-coupling guide rail
system (available as accessory).

cation (Ex-class) of the pump must be approved by the
local authorities.

operated in accordance with these installation and opera-
tion instructions and accepted codes of good practice and
being used for the applications mentioned in these in-
structions.
