Keep the Non-Computer Lubricated
Although the non-computers used in GASBOY pumps are carefully adjusted and lubricated at the
factory before shipment, they require (as do all mechanical parts) occasional cleaning and
lubrication when in service. The intervals at which this should be done vary with conditions of
operation, but under normal conditions it is necessary only twice a year, or after each 100,000
gallons delivered.
Turn off the AC power to the pump. It's easier to clean and oil the non-computer if you remove it
from the pump. Clean the non-computer with compressed air and wipe all accessible parts (such
as figure wheel drums) with a clean cloth. NOTE: Always wear protective safety goggles or
glasses when using compressed air. Never use solvents, such as gasoline or kerosene, as this
will become trapped in many of the inaccessible bearings and dissolve the new lubricant when it
is applied.
A light, non-acid type oil (SAE 10) is recommended because this gives maximum protection in
varying temperatures. The oil must also be acid-free so that it will not cause corrosion of the cast
metal parts. A long handled, fine lettering brush is very convenient for applying the oil to all
bearings and shafts and for applying light, nonfluid oil (grease with body similar to that of chassis
lubricant) to the bevel type gears.
Dial Face
Clean the dial face with a soft, clean, damp cloth as often as necessary.
Cleaning the Strainer
Clean the strainer immediately after the pump has been installed and tested, and again after a
few hundred gallons have been delivered. Thereafter, once every six months, or as required.
The symptoms of a dirty or clogged strainer in a pump are slow delivery, noisy operation, and
pulsation. Before starting, close the 10RU safety shutoff valves under each pump you are
working on. Then follow these directions:
Pump: Turn off AC power to the pump. Locate the Suction Strainer Cap on the plumbing
unit and unscrew it to access and remove the strainer. Use compressed air to blow the dirt
out of the strainer.
Remote
dispenser: Turn off AC power to the dispenser, submersible pump, and any other
dispensers which use that submersible pump. Locate the Strainer Cap on the meter and
unscrew it to access and remove the strainer. Use compressed air to blow the dirt out of the
strainer.
NOTE: Always wear protective safety goggles or glasses when using compressed air.
