Oh well, I maintain the blue pump override located onthe maint panel is guarded due to the possible powering of Flight controls etc on the ground.
Unfortunately this does raise the question of the guard on the blue pump PB located on the HYD panel. I know for a fact you can turn that on and off and you only loose the blue system. Not a biggy unless you were already down one HYD system.
The effects of turning it off are fully recovered by turning back on - so why the guard on this one? I think I will go with fantom's idea!
Again I know nothing about A320's. Is the panel in the picture considered a maintenance panel? It looks a lot loke the pilots overhead panels I have seen on many other aircraft. Shouldn't a maintenance panel be somewhere where maintenance personal can get to it, not the flight crew.
