General Service Procedures

Hydraulic/Mechanical Components

Working on Hydraulic Components

Gasboy Atlas dispensers receive pressurized fuel from an STP while pumps generate pressure
using a self-contained pumping unit. The potential hazard of fluid spray or leak exists when
working on the hydraulic system. Ensure that proper service procedures and safety precautions
are followed. For additional information, refer to

“Servicing Hydraulic Components”

on

page 6-6.

WARNING

Read all safety information and wear all the required safety
equipment.

This is a potentially dangerous environment of high voltage and
flammable fuel-vapors. Fuel-vapors may ignite. Fire, explosion, or
electrical shock can result in severe injury or death, if safety
procedures are not strictly followed.

No cigarettes or open flames must be allowed near pumps or
dispensers.

Ground the nozzle and Prover Can to prevent static discharge. Do
not place Prover Cans on ungrounded surfaces such as plastic truck
liners.

Static electricity may be present before or while dispensing the fuel.
A spark between the container and nozzle may occur. Fire or
explosion may result, causing serious injury or death.

Always wear proper eye protection while servicing the hydraulic
system. Take appropriate steps to contain any spraying or draining
fuel. The residual pressure present may result in fuel spray in the
unit. Release pressure through the nozzle.

Do not attempt to use the Manager Keypad with the electronics
cabinet open in any situation where power has been applied and
fuel vapors are present or potentially present.

When you calibrate Atlas series units, run the keypad cable over the
door and close the door. This allows the keypad to be suspended on
the unit and can be accessed from outside for all procedures done
with power applied or possibility of fuel or fuel vapor presence.

Always clear area of debris or spills.
