This section introduces the hazards and safety precautions
associated with installing, inspecting, maintaining or servicing
this product. Before performing any task on this product, read
this safety information and the applicable sections in this
manual, where additional hazards and safety precautions for
your task will be found. Fire, explosion, electrical shock or
pressure release could occur and cause death or serious injury,
if these safe service procedures are not followed.

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/dispenser 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 that requires access to electrical components or
the electronics of the dispenser requires total electrical shut off
of that unit. Understand the function and location of this switch
or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or
servicing Gasboy equipment.

Evacuating, Barricading and Shutting Off

Any procedure that requires access to the pump/dispenser or
STPs requires the following actions:

• An evacuation of all unauthorized persons and vehicles

from the work area

• Use of safety tape, cones or barricades at the affected

unit(s)

• A total electrical shut-off of the affected unit(s)

Read the Manual

Read, understand and follow this manual and any other labels
or related materials supplied with this equipment. If you do not
understand a procedure, call a Gasboy Authorized Service
Contractor or call the Gasboy Service Center at

1-800-444-5529. It is imperative to your safety and the safety of
others to understand the procedures before beginning work.

Follow the Regulations

Applicable information is available in National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 30A; Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing
Facilities and Repair Garages
, NFPA 70; National Electrical
Code (NEC)
, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations and federal, state, and local codes. All
these regulations must be followed. Failure to install, inspect,
maintain or service this equipment in accordance with these
codes, regulations and standards may lead to legal citations
with penalties or affect the safe use and operation of the
equipment.

Replacement Parts

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

Safety Symbols and Warning Words

This section provides important information about warning
symbols and boxes.

Alert Symbol

This safety alert symbol is used in this manual and on

warning labels to alert you to a precaution which must be
followed to prevent potential personal safety hazards. Obey
safety directives that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury
or death.

Signal Words

These signal words used in this manual and on warning labels
tell you the seriousness of particular safety hazards. The
precautions below must be followed to prevent death, injury or
damage to the equipment:

DANGER:

Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

which will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING:

Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

that could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

with Alert symbol: Designates a hazard or

unsafe practice which may result in minor injury.

CAUTION

without Alert symbol: 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 explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or
leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will
cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the
dispenser or island.

DEF is non-flammable. Therefore, explosion and fire safety
warnings do not apply to DEF lines.

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
the console’s ALL STOP and PUMP STOP or
similar keys.
