Service Tips
• Do not reuse a separated breakaway if any part appears damaged.
• Some brands of breakaways require lubrication every six months. Others require only
periodic visual inspections. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Inspect the breakaway for leaks at least once a week or on complaint of a leak.
• If the breakaway separates without a drive-off occurring, do not reuse. The breakaway
may be defective, having been reset excessive number of times, or have an inadequate
rating for the application. If multiple breakaways have this issue, first suspect inadequate
rating for the application.
• Consult the manufacturer for the maximum number of times you can reset a breakaway.
Some breakaways cannot be reset.
• A protective sleeve supplied by the manufacturer is recommended to avoid damage to the
dispenser and to improve appearance.
Testing Hose and Hanging Hardware Continuity
Perform an electrical continuity check when installing hoses after a drive-off and for periodic
preventive maintenance. The STP check valve or pump regulating valve must maintain the
operating pressure to perform this test. Following procedure tests the continuity of the hanging
hardware (that is, hose, nozzle, swivel, breakaway, and hose casting). Hose and hardware
continuity tests are not required for DEF units.
Read and follow all hazardous zones requirements.
You are working in a potentially dangerous environment of flammable

fuels/vapors. Fuel and its vapors may ignite, leading to serious injury or death.
Fire, explosion, or electrical shock could result in severe injury or death if you do
not follow safety procedures.
Ensure that you correct any safety hazards and barricade the area.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use, operation, and
maintenance of the testing equipment.
Use only a low voltage digital Ohmmeter. Do not turn the tester On until the
connections are made. Turn the tester Off before disconnecting test clips. Do
not test continuity if there is spilled fuel, leaking components, or fuel vapors
present in the area.
Hanging hardware without the proper electrical continuity rating presents a risk
of igniting fuel vapors.
Injuries or death may result if hose continuity is not maintained.
Use approved procedures to test for hanging hardware continuity. For additional
information, refer to PEI/RP400-02 in addition to the equipment and component
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Note: Testing of an unpressurized hose may lead to false conclusions in determining if a defect
exists or not.
