Operate with Reasonable Care
Like any machine, the pump or remote dispenser that is operated with reasonable care will last
longer and give better service. Abuse should be avoided (such as dropping the nozzle on the
ground, operating the unit with a dirty strainer, dragging the hose across the concrete island or
driveway, running the pump with the nozzle closed for more than two minutes, etc.). The time and
care given to your pumps will be returned to you in the form of dependable service.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Keep Water Out
Water tends to collect in underground and above ground storage tanks. This is due to moisture-
laden air being drawn into the storage tank and condensing, or to defective fill openings that are
not properly protected with watertight covers. Storage tanks should be checked after every fill-up
for water and removed with a sump pump, to forestall serious damage to equipment. Water,
sediment, and other foreign matter that accumulates in the tank can be drawn up into the pump or
remote dispenser and cause failures.
Hose Retrievers (If Applicable)
The cable reel assembly does not require lubrication but the cable should be checked periodically
and replaced when it appears worn or frayed.
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.
