Cleaning By-pass and Regulating Valve Assemblies
By-pass and regulating valve assemblies should be removed only for cleaning and should be
checked if there is notable loss in system performance. No adjustment is required. To remove
the valves, turn off AC power to the unit. If the unit is in a remote dispenser, remove the
separator cover and clamp plate, allowing the by-pass valve assembly and regulating valve
assembly to be lifted from place.
Adjusting the Belts - Suction Pumps Only
With the proper care, belts will give exceptionally good service. A loose belt not only cuts down
dispensing speed, due to slipping, but also results in excessive wear. A properly tightened belt
will allow twisting the belt 180 degrees midway between the motor and the pump pulleys. Before
adjusting any belt, turn off AC power to the pump/remote dispenser.
On the 9152A, 9153A, 9153AHC, 9152ATW2, and 9153ATW2 models, the belt can be tightened
by loosening the hex nut which holds the idler pulley and sliding the pulley to either side to obtain
the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs. + 3/4 (30N, +3.3N). When the adjustment is complete,
remember to retighten the hex nut.
On the 9152ATW1 model, the belt can be tightened by loosening the cap screw which holds the
idler arm and sliding the arm to obtain the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs. + 3/4 (30N, +3.3N).
When the adjustment is complete, remember to retighten the cap screw.
Preserve the Finish of Your Pumps
Nearly all gasoline pumps are installed outdoors where their surfaces are subjected to the action
of the weather. As a result, it is necessary to give the finish a reasonable amount of care if an
attractive appearance is to be maintained.
The finish on GASBOY pump housings is a high-heat baked synthetic enamel, similar to that
used on automobiles. The life of this finish can be lengthened several years if, at regular
intervals, the painted surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with a high grade automobile polish and
then protected with a coat of paste wax. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polish. Do not use high
pressure spraying equipment.
In order to retain the unmarked finish on stainless steel, occasional cleaning is required. In
corrosive atmospheres, such as coastal areas, a more frequent cleaning schedule is necessary.
Under ordinary conditions, washing with detergent or soap and water, followed by a clean water
rinse, is sufficient. If hard water is used, the surface should be wiped dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent the formation of water spots. Marks or spots, such as grease, oily fingerprints and
smudges which resist soap and detergents, will have to be removed with a stronger cleaner. (DO
NOT use ordinary steel wool as iron particles may adhere to the surface and cause corrosion.)
Care should be taken in choosing a cleaner because any cleaning compounds or powders which
contain abrasives can scratch a mill-rolled finish. Care must be exercised in their use to run in
the direction of the polishing lines in the steel, never across them. After cleaning, an application
of paste wax is recommended to protect the surface and prolong the interval between cleaning.
