GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
It is your responsibility to:
•
Know and follow applicable national, state and local safety codes
pertaining to installing and operating electrical equipment for use with
flammable liquids.
•
Know and follow all safety precautions when handling petroleum fuels.
•
Ensure that all equipment operators have access to adequate
instructions concerning safe operating and maintenance procedures.
Observe all safety precautions concerning safe handling of petroleum fuels.
To ensure safe operation, all fuel transfer systems must
be properly grounded. Proper grounding means a
continuous metal-to-metal contact from one component to the next, including
tank, tank mount, pump, meter, filter, hose and nozzle. Care should be taken to
ensure proper grounding during initial installation and after any service or repair
procedures. For your safety, please take a moment to review the warnings
below.
To prevent physical injury or property damage, observe
precautions against fire or explosion when dispensing
fuel. Do not operate the system in the presence
of any source of ignition including running or hot engines, lighted tobacco
products, gas or electric heaters, or any type of electronic device. A spark can
ignite fuel vapors.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when
operating the system. Serious or fatal
shock can result from operating electrical equipment in damp
or wet locations.
Inspect external pump wiring regularly to
make sure it is correctly attached to the battery. To avoid
electrical shock, use extra care when connecting the
pump to power.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum fuels. Use
protective goggles, gloves and aprons in case of
splashing or spills. Change saturated clothing and wash skin promptly with
soap and water.
Observe precautions against electrical shock when
servicing the pump. Always disconnect power before
repairing or servicing. Never apply electrical power
to the system when any of the coverplates are removed.
If using solvent to clean pump components
or tank, observe the solvent manufacturer’s
recommendations for safe use and disposal.
