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

regulations and standards may lead to legal citations with
penalties or affect the safe use and operation of the

on your pump/dispenser. Using parts other than genuine
Gasboy replacement parts could create a safety hazard and
violate local regulations.

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.”
