5 – Startup and Operation
Pre-startup Checklist
The information below should be reviewed to help verify the proper installation of your
Gasboy pump. If the installation does not meet criteria listed, as well as any Federal, State, and
Local codes and requirements, correct the problem before powering on the unit.
1 The unit must be properly secured.
2 All plumbing must be complete and tight. All below ground piping must be checked for leaks.
All liquid carrying lines must be checked for leaks.
3 When DC pulsers are used in the pump, the AC and DC wires must not share any conduits,
junction boxes, or troughs.
4 All conduit work must be complete. All junction box covers must be secured with all
fasteners. Conduit seals should not be sealed until the wiring is verified through proper
operation.
5 The unit must be properly grounded.
6 Before any testing begins, remove any water in the tank through a fill opening, using a suitable
pump. Do not use the Gasboy pump to remove water. Serious damage may occur.
7 A sufficient volume of fuel must be present in the tank to ensure that the liquid level is above
the bottom of the suction pipe.

is recommended that all employees be trained regarding the location and procedure for
turning off power to the entire system.

for startup. Follow the procedure listed below to perform an orderly start-up.
1 Turn on the circuit breaker for the pump.
