This section introduces the hazards and safety precautions 
associated with installing, inspecting, maintaining or servicing 
this product. Before performing any task on this product, read 
this safety information and the applicable sections in this 
manual, where additional hazards and safety precautions for

Preliminary Precautions
You are working in a potentially dangerous environment of 
flammable fuels, vapors, and high voltage or pressures. Only 
trained or authorized individuals knowledgeable in the related 
procedures should install, inspect, maintain or service this 
equipment.
Emergency Total Electrical Shut-Off
The first and most important information you must know is 
how to stop all fuel flow to the pump and island. Locate the 
switch or circuit breakers that shut-off all power to all fueling 
equipment, dispensing devices, and submerged turbine 
pumps (STPs). 
Total Electrical Shut-Off Before Access
Any procedure requiring access to electrical components or 
the electronics of the dispenser requires total electrical shut-
off of that unit. Know the function and location of this switch 
or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or 
servicing Gasboy equipment.
Evacuation, Barricading and Shut-Off
Any procedures requiring accessing the pump/dispenser or 
STPs requires the following three actions:
- An evacuation of all unauthorized persons and vehicles 
 using safety tape, cones or barricades to the effected units
- A total electrical shut-off of that unit
Read the Manual
Read, understand and follow this manual and any other 
labels or related materials supplied with this equipment. If you 
do not understand a procedure, call a Gasboy Authorized 
Service Contractor or call the Gasboy Service Center at 1-
800-444-5529. It is imperative to your safety and the safety of 
others to understand the procedures before beginning work.
Follow the Regulations
There is applicable information in NFPA 30A; Automotive and 
Marine Service Code, NFPA 70; National Electrical Code (NEC), 
OSHA regulations and federal, state, and local codes which 
must be followed. Failure to install, inspect, maintain or 
service this equipment in accordance with these codes, 
regulations and standards may lead to legal citations with 
penalties or affect the safe use and operation of the 
equipment.
Replacement Parts
Use only genuine Gasboy replacement parts and retrofit kits 
on your pump/dispenser. Using parts other than genuine 
Gasboy replacement parts could create a safety hazard and 
violate local regulations.
Safety Symbols and Warning Words
This section provides important information about warning 
symbols and boxes.
Alert Symbol 
This safety alert symbol is used in this manual and on
warning labels to alert you to a precaution which must be 
followed to prevent potential personal safety hazards. Obey 
safety directives that follow this symbol to avoid possible 
injury or death.
Signal Words
These signal words used in this manual and on warning labels 
tell you the seriousness of particular safety hazards. The 
precautions that follow must be followed to prevent death, 
injury or damage to the equipment
DANGER - This signal word is used to alert you to a 
hazard to unsafe practice which will result in death or 
serious injury
WARNING - This alerts you to a hazard or unsafe 
practice that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION with Alert symbol - This signal word 
designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may 
result in minor injury.
CAUTION without Alert symbol - When used by itself, 
CAUTION designates a hazard or unsafe practice 
which may result in property or equipment damage.
Working With Fuels and Electrical Energy
Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will become explosive if ignited. Spilled 
or leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will 
cause explosive vapors in the vicinity of dispenser or island.
The EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, and 
PUMP STOP buttons at the cashier’s station 
WILL NOT shut off electrical power to the 
pump/dispenser. 
This means that even if you activate these 
stops, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled. 
You must use the TOTAL ELECTRICAL SHUT-
OFF in the case of an emergency and not only 
these cashier station “stops.”
