MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
GASBOY pumps 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 pump are bound to wear, and GASBOY therefore recommends a
periodic inspection, at least twice a year, for such things as fuel leaks, belt tension and condition,
lubrication and strainer cleanliness. 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 pump should be performed by
qualified service personnel.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off and lock out all
power to the pump. Always turn off and lock out all power to the pump at the
master panel before performing any maintenance or service, including the
changing of any fuel filters or strainers. Also block islands so no vehicles can pull
up to the pump while it is being worked on.
Where to Get Help: If your pump should stop or fail to operate properly, GASBOY has a
distributor network which services fuel dispensing and management systems in every section of
the country.
Use Authorized Parts: Parts needing replacement should be replaced only with GASBOY new
authorized service parts. This will ensure the best results and the continuity of the Underwriters’
Label on your pump. Incorrect or substandard parts can result in unsatisfactory pump operation.
Always use new gaskets or seals when servicing or rebuilding GASBOY equipment; do not re-use
old ones.
EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
The urethane finish on GASBOY pump housings is similar to that used on automobiles. Keep
your pump looking like new by thoroughly cleaning its exterior with a high grade automobile polish
and then protecting it with a coat of paste wax. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polish. Do not
use high pressure spraying equipment.
