switch or circuit breakers that shut-off all power to all fueling
equipment, dispensing devices, and submerged turbine
pumps (STPs).
Total Electrical Shut-Off Before Access
Any procedure requiring access to electrical components or
the electronics of the dispenser requires total electrical shut-
off of that unit. Know the function and location of this switch
or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or
servicing Gasboy equipment.
Evacuation, Barricading and Shut-Off
Any procedures requiring accessing the pump/dispenser or
STPs requires the following three actions:
- An evacuation of all unauthorized persons and vehicles
using safety tape, cones or barricades to the effected units
- A total electrical shut-off of that unit

followed to prevent potential personal safety hazards. Obey
safety directives that follow this symbol to avoid possible

Signal Words
These signal words used in this manual and on warning labels
tell you the seriousness of particular safety hazards. The

injury or damage to the equipment
DANGER - This signal word is used to alert you to a
hazard to unsafe practice which will result in death or
serious injury
WARNING - This alerts you to a hazard or unsafe
practice that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION with Alert symbol - This signal word
designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may
result in minor injury.
CAUTION without Alert symbol - When used by itself,
CAUTION designates a hazard or unsafe practice
which may result in property or equipment damage.
Working With Fuels and Electrical Energy
Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will become explosive if ignited. Spilled
or leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will
cause explosive vapors in the vicinity of dispenser or island.
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 only
these cashier station “stops.”
