IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS 

Gasoline and petroleum products are flammable.  To avoid injury or death to persons or damage to equipment or 
property, follow these listed warnings and other warnings and precautions outlined in this manual when installing, using, 
or working around this equipment.  Check with GASBOY Technical Services for compatibility of liquids with pump 
materials. 

TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ALL POWER TO PUMP BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR IN THE EVENT 

OF A FUEL SPILL. 

All products must be installed by a 
qualified installer and used in 
conformance with all building, fire, and 
environmental codes and other safety 
requirements applicable to its 
installation and use, including, but not 
limited to, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, NFPA 
395 & NFPA 70.  A qualified installer is 
familiar with fuel systems installations 
under the above stated building, fire, 
and environmental codes and other 
safety requirements for the particular 
type of installation. 

 
This product is only part of a fuel 
dispensing 

system 

and additional 

equipment and accessories, such as, 
but not limited to, breakaway 
connectors, shear valves, pressure 
regulators, flow limiters, and other 
safety devices may be necessary to 
meet the applicable codes. 

 
For maximum safety, we recommend 
that all employees be trained as to the 
location and procedure for turning off 
power to the entire system.  Instructions 
regarding proper operation of the 
equipment along with the appropriate 
safety warnings should be posted in 
plain view at the fuel island. 

 
Before performing service or 
maintenance (including changing of fuel 
filters or strainers) or in the event of a 
fuel spill, turn off and lock out all power 
to the system.  In battery-powered 
pumps, disconnect power source.  In 
submersible pump applications, turn off 
and lock out power at the master panel 
and close any impact valves to the 
submersible pump and any other 
dispensers which use that submersible 
pump.  AC power can feed back into a 
shut-off dispenser when dispensers 
share a common submersible pump or 
starter relay.  Also block islands so no 
vehicles can pull up to the dispenser 
when the dispenser is being worked on. 

DO NOT use Teflon tape for any pipe 
threads in the product. 

 
DO NOT use consumer pumps for 
pumping fuel or additives into aircraft. 

 
DO NOT use commercial pumps for 
direct fueling of aircraft without filters 
and separators necessary to ensure 
product purity. 

 
DO NOT use where sanitary design is 
required (for food products for human 
consumption) or with water-based 
liquids. 

 
DO NOT smoke near the pump or when 
using the pump. 

 
DO NOT use near open flame or 
electrical equipment which may ignite 
fumes. 

 
DO NOT permit the dispensing of 
gasoline or other petroleum products 
into a vehicle with its motor running. 

 
DO NOT permit the dispensing of 
gasoline or other petroleum products 
into unapproved containers or into 
approved containers in or on vehicles 
including trucks.  All containers must be 
filled on the ground to prevent static 
discharge.  Always use Approved and 
Listed hoses and nozzles with electric 
pumps and dispensers. 

 
DO NOT block open the nozzle in any 
manner.  Nozzles shall conform to UL 
and NFPA code requirements for 
attended or unattended service. 

 
DO ensure that the pump is equipped 
with proper filters based on the product 
being dispensed and its intended use. 

 
DO wear safety goggles and protective 
clothes when dispensing any liquid 
which may be potentially harmful or 
hazardous. 

 
DO keep all parts of body and loose 
clothing clear of belts, pulleys, and other 
exposed moving parts at all times. 

DO require washing and changing of 
clothes if fuel is spilled on a person or 
his/her clothing.  Keep away from open 
flames, sparks, or people smoking. 

 
DO provide a receptacle for catching 
product from pump/meter when 
servicing. 

 
DO clean up product spills on the 
driveway.  Turn off and lock out all 
power prior to cleanup. 

 
DO insure pump is properly grounded. 

 
DO insure hose is compatible with fluid 
being dispensed. 

 
DO inspect hose, nozzle, and pump on 
a regular basis for wear, damage, or 
other conditions which may create a 
safety or environmental hazard. 

 
DO make sure all pipe threads are 
properly cut and the inside reamed to 
remove burrs.  Use UL classified 
gasoline-resisting compound on all 
joints of gasoline handling piping. 

Sealing compound must also be 
resistant to Gasohol (Ethanol and 
Methanol).  Use gasoline-resistant pipe 
compound on male threads only; pipe 
compound used on female threads can 
be squeezed into the supply line where 
it can enter the product stream and 
become lodged in the pump or meter. 
 
DO ensure that junction box covers are 
in place and properly tightened.  Mating 
surfaces between the box and cover 
must be free of dirt, nicks, and 
scratches.  All unused entries into the 
junction box must be properly plugged.
