Important Safety Information
No Open Flames
Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches or other sources can ignite fuels
and their vapors.
No Sparks - No Smoking
Sparks from starting vehicles, starting or using power tools, burning cigarettes, cigars
or pipes can also ignite fuels and their vapors. Static electricity, including an electrostatic
charge on your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuels and their vapors. After getting
out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle to discharge any electrostatic charge before
you approach the dispenser island.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of rendering first aid be present during
servicing. Be familiar with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods if you are working
with or around high voltages. This information is available from the American Red Cross.
Always advise the station personnel about where you will be working, and caution them not to
activate power while you are working on the equipment. Use the OSHA tag out and lock out
procedures. If you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to information in the service
manual and OSHA documentation.
Working With Fuel Safely
Be sure to follow information in this manual, related materials and approved industry standard
practices in handling fuel and fueling equipment.
Protect Your Eyes
Spraying fuel from residual pressure in lines can cause serious eye injuries. Always
wear eye protection. Gasoline spilled in eyes may cause burns to eye tissue. Rinse eyes with
water for approximately 15 minutes. Seek medical advice immediately. It is not necessary to
wear eye protection unless performing hydraulic service.
Use Proper Fuel Handling Techniques
• Be sure breakaways, shear valves and other emergency devices are properly installed.
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.
• Collect, transport and dispose fuel only in approved containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
• Before working with any chemicals or fuels in and around a dispensing facility, read the
MSDS pertaining to those chemicals as prescribed in the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200. Refer to the supplier’s literature.
