INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before uncrating the pump, inspect the crate for damage. A damaged crate indicates possible
internal damage to the dispenser, and the delivering carrier should be notified of possible
concealed damage. It is recommended the original shipping crate be retained for pump re-
shipment at some later date.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
All installations must conform with all building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and Local codes,
National Electrical Code, (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and Automotive and Marine Service Station Code
(NFPA 30A) codes and regulations.
Plan your installation carefully. A pump cannot be expected to work satisfactorily unless the
underground installation is correct. Dispensing troubles, which seem to be pump-related, are
frequently traced to faulty installation. Review the following list of installation DO's and DON'T's
to avoid potential problems:
1.
DO read the WARNINGS page at the front of this manual, preceding the Table of Contents.
It contains important information regarding the safe use of your dispensing equipment.
2.
DO install an emergency power cutoff. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA 70
and NFPA 30A, a single control which simultaneously removes AC power from all site
dispensing equipment is recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly
labeled, and in accordance with all local codes.
In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, we
recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.
3.
DO have the pump installed by a competent installer/electrician.
4.
DO install breakaway coupling on discharge hose. If using a high hose retriever, install
breakaway approximately 12" downstream of hose clamp on nozzle side of clamp.
5.
DO NOT experiment with a pump if you are not sure the installation is correct.
6.
DO NOT overload sub- or main breaker panels.
7.
DO NOT install any underground piping without proper swing joints. (Always use shoulder
nipples, never close nipples).
8.
DO NOT cover any lines until they have been both air- and liquid-tested.
9.
DO NOT back-fill the tank or supply line with cinders or ashes. (Back-fill with clean sand,
crushed rock, or pea gravel).
10. DO NOT use black iron pipe or fittings for underground installations. (Use only new
galvanized or fiberglass* pipe and fittings). *Install all fiberglass pipe and fittings according to
manufacturer's specifications and requirements.
