IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS

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.

Federal DOT regulations prohibit dispensing flammables, such as gasoline, from portable tanks.

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.
