IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS
Gasoline and petroleum products are flammable. To avoid injury or death to persons or damage to equipment or
property, follow these listed warnings and other warnings and precautions outlined in this manual when installing,
using, or working around this equipment. Check with GASBOY Technical Services for compatibility of liquids with
pump materials.
TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ALL POWER TO PUMP BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR IN THE EVENT
OF A FUEL SPILL.
All products must be installed by a
qualified installer and used in
conformance with all building, fire, and
environmental codes and other safety
requirements applicable to its
installation and use, including, but not
limited to, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, NFPA
395 & NFPA 70. A qualified installer is
familiar with fuel systems installations
under the above stated building, fire,
and environmental codes and other
safety requirements for the particular
type of installation.
This product is only part of a fuel
dispensing system and additional
equipment and accessories, such as,
but not limited to, breakaway
connectors, shear valves, pressure
regulators, flow limiters, and other
safety devices may be necessary to
meet the applicable codes.
For maximum safety, we recommend
that all employees be trained as to the
location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.
Instructions regarding proper operation
of the equipment along with the
appropriate safety warnings should be
posted in plain view at the fuel island.
Before performing service or
maintenance (including changing of fuel
filters or strainers) or in the event of a
fuel spill, turn off and lock out all power
to the system. In battery-powered
pumps, disconnect power source. In
submersible pump applications, turn off
and lock out power at the master panel
and close any impact valves 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. Also block islands so no
vehicles can pull up to the dispenser
when the dispenser is being worked on.
DO NOT use Teflon tape for any pipe
threads in the product.
DO NOT use consumer pumps for
pumping fuel or additives into aircraft.
DO NOT use commercial pumps for
direct fueling of aircraft without filters
and separators necessary to ensure
product purity.
DO NOT use where sanitary design is
required (for food products for human
consumption) or with water-based
liquids.
DO NOT smoke near the pump or when
using the pump.
DO NOT use near open flame or
electrical equipment which may ignite
fumes.
DO NOT permit the dispensing of
gasoline or other petroleum products
into a vehicle with its motor running.
DO NOT permit the dispensing of
gasoline or other petroleum products
into unapproved containers or into
approved containers in or on vehicles
including trucks. All containers must be
filled on the ground to prevent static
discharge. Always use Approved and
Listed hoses and nozzles with electric
pumps and dispensers.
DO NOT block open the nozzle in any
manner. Nozzles shall conform to UL
and NFPA code requirements for
attended or unattended service.
DO ensure that the pump is equipped
with proper filters based on the product
being dispensed and its intended use.
DO wear safety goggles and protective
clothes when dispensing any liquid
which may be potentially harmful or
hazardous.
