PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
GASBOY dispensers are designed and constructed to give many years of uninterrupted service.
In fact, hundreds of operators report years of trouble-free operation with absolutely no service
expense. Yet, certain parts of a dispenser are bound to wear, and GASBOY therefore
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.
Procedures requiring disassembly of portions of the dispenser must be performed by
qualified service personnel.
WARNING:
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 so no vehicles can pull up to the
dispenser when the dispenser is being worked on.
HINTS FOR BETTER PUMP PERFORMANCE
Demand Competent Service
If your pump should stop or fail to operate properly, don't depend upon the repair service of a
general mechanic unless he is thoroughly familiar with the mechanism. Experience shows that the
repair results will be much 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
Should excessive wear, rust, or corrosion of parts cause inefficient operation, it is always best to
replace them immediately; but if you want the best results and continuity of the Underwriters' Label
on your pump, be sure they are new 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 re-use old ones.
