• DO NOT install fill pipe to tank where it can be submerged with standing water.
• DO NOT use the Gasboy fuel dispensing equipment to remove water ballast from the
storage tank.
• DO NOT use gaskets on covers of explosion-proof type boxes. The sealing compound
found around wires at various locations within conduit is a requirement of the NEC and
must not be disturbed. Ensure that the mating surfaces between the junction box and cover
are free of dirt, debris, nicks and scratches. Tighten the junction box covers before
replacing panels.
• DO NOT use knock-out boxes or flexible conduit for installing this unit. All power and
lighting wires must be run in a threaded, rigid, metal conduit. All threaded connections
must be drawn up tight with five (5) threads minimum engagement. Only one opening in
the AC junction box is provided with a plug at the factory. At completion of the
installation, ensure that any unused openings are plugged.

When constructing the island for the dispensing equipment, ensure to extend the island
excavation beyond the depth of the frost line. Leave open an area from the inside edge of the
unit’s base as shown on the specific base layout. If required by local regulations, do not
cement the pipes and conduits into the island. The open area within the base provides access
for future servicing of the fittings and conduit assemblies. Fill in the boxed-in section with dry
sand to keep condensation in the satellite housing to a minimum.
Secure the dispensing unit to the island using anchor bolts through the mounting holes (see
Figure 3-3 on page 12 ). If the dispensing unit is not securely fastened to the island, supply line
leaks at unions and pipe joints may occur. Use one of two types of bolts to anchor the satellite
to the island. Use two 1/2 x 5” (13 x 125 mm) machine bolts embedded in the concrete, or to
meet minimum UL and API requirements for universal interchangeability of pumps, use two
1/2 x 3-1/2” (13 x 90 mm) lag screws with 2” (51 mm) expansion shields.
