General Maintenance
Gasboy recommends a periodic inspection, at least twice a year. If such a procedure is
followed, any small adjustments that are necessary can be made before expensive, annoying
breakdowns occur. The result of this sound approach is continuous, profitable service from all
of your Gasboy equipment.
Note: Only a qualified service personnel must disassemble parts of the dispenser.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to the dispenser. In
submersible pump applications turn off power 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. Always
turn off all power to the dispenser and submerged pumps at the master panel and close
any impact valve before performing any maintenance or service to the dispenser, including
the changing of any fuel filters or strainers. Also block islands such that no vehicles can pull
up to the dispenser when the dispenser is being worked on.

Tips for Better Pump Performance
Demand Competent Service
If the pump stops or fails to operate properly, do not depend upon the repair service of a
general mechanic unless the mechanic is thoroughly familiar with the mechanism. Experience
shows that the repair results are more satisfactory if you demand the service of a competent
representative of the pump manufacturer. Gasboy has a distributor network which services fuel
dispensing and management systems in every section of the country.
Use Authorized Parts
If excessive wear, rust, or corrosion of parts cause inefficient operation, it is always best to
replace them immediately. However, if you want the best results and continuity of the UL label
on your pump, ensure that they are new and authorized service parts supplied by Gasboy.
Every part of a pump or dispenser is carefully designed for a particular purpose. If it is
replaced by an incorrect or substandard substitute, pump operation will be unsatisfactory.
Always use new gaskets or seals when servicing or rebuilding Gasboy equipment. Do not
reuse old ones.
