Important Safety Information
No Open Fire
Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches,
or other sources can ignite fuels and their vapors.
No Sparks - No Smoking
Sparks from starting vehicles, starting, or using power tools,
burning cigarettes, cigars, or pipes can also ignite fuels and
their vapors. Static electricity, including an electrostatic charge
on your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuel vapors.
Every time you get out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your
vehicle, to discharge any electrostatic charge before you
approach the dispenser island.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of
rendering first aid be present during servicing. Familiarize
yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, if
you work with or around high voltages. This information is
available from the American Red Cross. Always advise the
station personnel about where you will be working, and caution
them not to activate power while you are working on the
equipment. Use the OSHA Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you
are not familiar with this requirement, refer to this information in
the service manual and OSHA documentation.
Working With Electricity Safely
Ensure that you use safe and established practices in working
with electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may cause a fire,
explosion, or electrical shock. Ensure that grounding
connections are properly made. Take care that sealing devices
and compounds are in place. Ensure that you do not pinch
wires when replacing covers. Follow OSHA Lockout/Tagout
requirements. Station employees and service contractors need
to understand and comply with this program completely to
ensure safety while the equipment is down.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials present inside electronic enclosures may
present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that
you clean hands after handling equipment. Do not place any
equipment in the mouth.
The pump/dispenser contains a chemical known to the

Do not induce vomiting. Keep airway open.
Oxygen may be needed at scene. Seek medical
advice immediately.
!
DEF generates ammonia gas at higher temperatures.
When opening enclosed panels, allow the unit to air out to
avoid breathing vapors. If respiratory difficulties develop,
move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh
air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING

Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout covers servicing and maintenance of machines
and equipment in which the unexpected energization or
start-up of the machine(s) or equipment or release of stored
energy could cause injury to employees or personnel.
Lockout/Tagout applies to all mechanical, hydraulic, chemical,
or other energy, but does not cover electrical hazards.
Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910 - Electrical Hazards, 29 CFR
Part 1910.333 contains specific Lockout/Tagout provision for
electrical hazards.
