Customers and installers having any questions pertaining to the installation should

contact their GASBOY distributor.


WIRING PRECAUTIONS


The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels and
providing trouble-free operation of your GASBOY pump/remote dispenser. To assure a quality
installation, follow these rules:

1. All wiring must be installed to conform with all building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and

Local codes, National Electrical Code, (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and Automotive and Marine
Service Station Code (NFPA 30A) codes and regulations. Canadian users must also
comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.

2.

Use only threaded, rigid, metal conduit.

3. Use only UL-labeled insulated gasoline- and oil-resistant stranded copper wiring of the

proper size.

4. Wire connections should be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut; close off the open

end of the wire nut with electrical tape.

5. The line to the motor should be on a separate circuit and installed on a 20 to 30 AMP

breaker depending on the motor size and/or the voltage setting.

6.

Install an emergency power cutoff. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA 70
and NFPA 30A, a single control which simultaneously removes AC power from all site
dispensing equipment is recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly
labeled, and in accordance with all local codes.

In a fuel management system application, the EMERGENCY STOP and STOP keys on the
console and/or the optional EMERGENCY STOP button on the Island Card Reader do not
remove AC power from equipment and under certain conditions, will not stop product flow.

In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, we
recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to
the pump/remote dispenser. In submersible pump applications, turn off
power to the submersible pump and any other remote 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.


7.

Have the pump/remote dispenser installed by a competent installer/electrician.
