IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS
Gasoline and petroleum products are flammable. To avoid injury or death to persons or damage to equipment or
property, follow these listed warnings and other warnings and precautions outlined in this manual when installing, using,
or working around this equipment. Check with GASBOY Technical Services for compatibility of liquids with pump
materials.
TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ALL POWER TO PUMP BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR IN THE EVENT
OF A FUEL SPILL.
All products must be installed by a
qualified installer and used in
conformance with all building, fire, and
environmental codes and other safety
requirements applicable to its
installation and use, including, but not
limited to, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, NFPA
395 & NFPA 70. A qualified installer is
familiar with fuel systems installations
under the above stated building, fire,
and environmental codes and other
safety requirements for the particular
type of installation.
This product is only part of a fuel
dispensing
system and additional
equipment and accessories, such as,
but not limited to, breakaway
connectors, shear valves, pressure
regulators, flow limiters, and other
safety devices may be necessary to
meet the applicable codes.
For maximum safety, we recommend
that all employees be trained as to the
location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system. Instructions
regarding proper operation of the
equipment along with the appropriate
safety warnings should be posted in
plain view at the fuel island.
Before performing service or
maintenance (including changing of fuel
filters or strainers) or in the event of a
fuel spill, turn off and lock out all power
to the system. In battery-powered
pumps, disconnect power source. In
submersible pump applications, turn off
and lock out power at the master panel
and close any impact valves to the
submersible pump and any other
dispensers which use that submersible
pump. AC power can feed back into a
shut-off dispenser when dispensers
share a common submersible pump or
starter relay. Also block islands so no
vehicles can pull up to the dispenser
when the dispenser is being worked on.
DO NOT use Teflon tape for any pipe
threads in the product.
DO NOT use consumer pumps for
pumping fuel or additives into aircraft.
DO NOT use commercial pumps for
direct fueling of aircraft without filters
and separators necessary to ensure
product purity.
DO NOT use where sanitary design is
required (for food products for human
consumption) or with water-based
liquids.
DO NOT smoke near the pump or when
using the pump.
DO NOT use near open flame or
electrical equipment which may ignite
fumes.
DO NOT permit the dispensing of
gasoline or other petroleum products
into a vehicle with its motor running.
DO NOT permit the dispensing of
gasoline or other petroleum products
into unapproved containers or into
approved containers in or on vehicles
including trucks. All containers must be
filled on the ground to prevent static
discharge. Always use Approved and
Listed hoses and nozzles with electric
pumps and dispensers.
DO NOT block open the nozzle in any
manner. Nozzles shall conform to UL
and NFPA code requirements for
attended or unattended service.
DO ensure that the pump is equipped
with proper filters based on the product
being dispensed and its intended use.
DO wear safety goggles and protective
clothes when dispensing any liquid
which may be potentially harmful or
hazardous.
DO keep all parts of body and loose
clothing clear of belts, pulleys, and other
exposed moving parts at all times.
DO require washing and changing of
clothes if fuel is spilled on a person or
his/her clothing. Keep away from open
flames, sparks, or people smoking.
DO provide a receptacle for catching
product from pump/meter when
servicing.
DO clean up product spills on the
driveway. Turn off and lock out all
power prior to cleanup.
DO insure pump is properly grounded.
DO insure hose is compatible with fluid
being dispensed.
DO inspect hose, nozzle, and pump on
a regular basis for wear, damage, or
other conditions which may create a
safety or environmental hazard.
DO make sure all pipe threads are
properly cut and the inside reamed to
remove burrs. Use UL classified
gasoline-resisting compound on all
joints of gasoline handling piping.
Sealing compound must also be
resistant to Gasohol (Ethanol and
Methanol). Use gasoline-resistant pipe
compound on male threads only; pipe
compound used on female threads can
be squeezed into the supply line where
it can enter the product stream and
become lodged in the pump or meter.
DO ensure that junction box covers are
in place and properly tightened. Mating
surfaces between the box and cover
must be free of dirt, nicks, and
scratches. All unused entries into the
junction box must be properly plugged.
