2.2
Personnel Qualification and Training
All personnel for the operation, maintenance, inspection and installation must
be fully qualified to perform that type of job. Responsibility, competence and the
supervision of such personnel must be strictly regulated by the user. Should the
available personnel be lacking the necessary qualification, they must be trained
and instructed accordingly. If necessary, the operator may require the manufac-
turer/supplier to provide such training. Furthermore the operator/user must
make sure that the personnel fully understands the contents of the Operation
Instructions.
2.3
Dangers of Ignoring the Safety Symbols
Ignoring the safety directions and symbols may pose a danger to humans as
well as to the environment and the machine itself. Non-observance may void
any warranties.
Non-observance of safety directions and symbols may
for example
entail the
following:
–
Failure of important functions of the machine/plant
–
Failure of prescribed methods for maintenance and repair
–
Endangerment of persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical
effects
–
Danger to the environment because of leakage of hazardous material
–
Danger of damage to equipment and building
2.4
Safety-oriented Operation
The safety directions contained in the Operation Instructions, existing national
regulations for the prevention of accidents as well as internal working-, opera-
tional- and safety-regulations of the operator/user must be observed at all
times.
2.5
General Safety Directions for the Operator/User
If hot or cold machine parts pose a danger, such parts must be protected by the
operator/user against contact with personnel.
Protective covers for moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be removed when
the machine is running.
Leakages (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous pumping media (e.g. explosive,
toxic, hot liquids) must be disposed of in such a way that any danger for per-
sonnel and the environment is removed. All government regulations must be
observed at all times. Any danger to persons etc. by electrical energy must be
excluded. For details see e.g. regulations of VDE and the local utilities.
2.6
Safety Directions for Maintenance, Inspection and Assembly Work
It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that all maintenance, inspection and
assembly work is performed exclusively by authorized and qualified experts
sufficiently informed through careful perusal of the Operating Instructions.
The accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Basically, all work on the machine are to be performed while the machine is not
in operation. The sequence for shutting the machine down described in the
Operating Instructions must be strictly observed. Pumps or pump units handling
hazardous liquids must be decontaminated.
Immediately upon completion of the work, all safety and protective equipment
must be restored and activated.
Before restarting the machine, all points contained in chapter "Initial Start-up”
must be observed.
2.7
Unauthorized Changes and Manufacturing of Spare Parts
Any conversion or changes of the machine may only be undertaken after consul-
ting the manufacturer. Original spare parts and accessories authorized by the
manufacturer guarantee operational safety. Using non-authorized parts may void
any liability on the part of the manufacturer in case of consequential damage.
2.8
Unauthorized Operation
The operational safety of the machine delivered is only guaranteed if the machi-
ne is used in accordance with the directions contained in Section 1 – General –
of the Operating Instructions. Limits stated in the data sheets may not be ex-
ceeded under any circumstances.

Transportation and Intermediate Storage
Prolonged intermediate storage in an environment of high humidity and fluctua-
ting temperatures must be avoided. Moisture condensation may damage win-
dings and metal parts. Non-compliance will void any warranty.

Description
The plastic pumps of series BADU Picco have been designed to circulate pool
water in combination with a corresponding filter unit. All parts in contact with the
pumping medium are mostly of polypropylene PP and thus possess excellent
corrosion resistance against the pool water and the usual chemicals for treat-
ment of the pool water. The pump housing does not contain any inserts, there-
fore it can easily be recycled.
