DO NOT use gaskets on covers of explosion-proof type boxes. The sealing compound found
around wires at all junction box entrances is a requirement of the National Electrical Code and
should not be disturbed. Ensure that the mating surfaces between the junction box and cover
are free of dirt, debris, nicks, and scratches. Tighten junction box covers before replacing
panels.

DO NOT use knock-out boxes or flexible conduit for installing this unit. All power and
lighting wires should be run in threaded, rigid, metal conduit. All threaded connections must
be drawn up tight with five (5) threads minimum engagement. Only one opening in the AC
junction box is provided with a plug at the factory. On completion of the installation, it is the
installer's responsibility to ensure that any unused openings are plugged.

When constructing the pump island for the dispensing equipment, be sure to extend the island
excavation beyond the depth of the frost line. Leave open an area from the inside edge of the
unit's base as shown on the specific base layout. Unless required by local regulations, do not
cement the pipes and conduits into the island. The open area within the base will provide
access for future servicing of the fittings, check valve and conduit assemblies. Fill in the
boxed-in section with dry sand to keep condensation in the pump housing to a minimum and to
help prevent fogging of the totalizer window.
Secure the pump/remote dispenser to the island using anchor bolts through the two mounting
holes, which are 13 inches (330mm) apart and are indicated on each base layout by an X. If the
dispensing unit is not securely fastened to the island, supply line leaks at unions and pipe joints
may occur. Use one of two types of bolts to anchor the pump to the island. Use two (2) 1/2" x
5" (13mm x 125mm) machine bolts imbedded in the concrete, or, to meet minimum UL and
API requirements for universal interchangeability of pumps, use two 1/2" x 3 1/2" (13mm x
90mm) lag screws with 2" (51mm) expansion shields.
