Purging Pumps and Dispensers (with Fuel in Product Lines)
To purge the pumps and dispensers, proceed as follows:

nozzle, after which you can open the nozzle further to finish purging.
Purging through a fully open nozzle on a unit with air in product lines can damage the meter due

Damage resulting from overspeed is not covered by warranty.
CAUTION
