Preliminary Precautions
You are working in a potentially dangerous environment of
flammable fuels, vapors, and high voltage or pressures. Only
trained or authorized individuals knowledgeable in the related
procedures should install, inspect, maintain or service this
equipment
.
Emergency Total Electrical Shut-Off
The first and most important information you must know is how to
stop all fuel flow to the pump/dispenser and island. Locate the
switch or circuit breakers that shut off all power to all fueling
equipment, dispensing devices, and Submerged Turbine Pumps
(STPs).
The EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, and PUMP
STOP buttons at the cashier
’ s station WILL NOT
shut off electrical power to the

pump/dispenser. This means that even if you activate
these stops, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled.
You must use the TOTAL ELECTRICAL

SHUT-OFF in the case of an emergency and not the
console
’
s ALL STOP and PUMP STOP or similar
keys.
