Start-Up and Test

Page 7-2 MDE-4340A Series 9800Q Pumps and Dispensers Installation/Operation Manual · January 2006

2

Turn on the circuit breakers for the microprocessor and fluorescent lights. Ensure that both
lights are lit.

3

Turn on the power to the 9800Q.

4

Authorize the hose for side 1 through the Fuel Management System, if available.

5

Remove the nozzle for side 1 from its holder and turn on the pump handle. Verify if the
display goes through the proper reset sequence as explained in

“Pump/Remote Dispenser

Operation” on page 6-1

, 3Operating Sequence.

6

Dispense fuel. Verify if the high flow valve opens, if equipped. Check all plumbing for leaks
at this time.

7

Turn the pump handle off. Open the nozzle. No fuel should be dispensed at this time.

8

Verify if the correct quantity was recorded by the Fuel Management System, if available.

9

If applicable, repeat steps

for side 2.

10

Run the unit through all standard calibration procedures.

11

Reset the electronic totalizers as described in View/Reset Totalizers in

Post Start-Up Tests

Voltage

The incoming voltage to the pump and remote dispenser should be checked and any reading
not within 10% of rated voltage should be corrected before testing is continued. When dealing
with suction pumps, it is a good practice to take voltage readings while the suction pump is
operating on bypass and also while making a delivery. Any voltage drop in excess of 10%
during either of these operating states should be considered a low voltage condition.
Corrective action should be taken to ensure an adequate power supply to the pump.

Tightness

After determining that the pump is operating satisfactorily and the system is fully primed,
check the pump and piping to ensure that all connections are tight. In the case of a remote
dispenser you should follow the submersible pump manufacturer's instructions to check the
system for tightness. We recommend that the tank and all piping must not be covered until this
test has been completed.

Belts (Suction Pumps Only)

Since belts do stretch slightly during the first few minutes of operation, check the belt tension
after completing the operational test.

The belt can be tightened by loosening the hex nut which holds the idler pulley and sliding the
pulley to either side. Tighten belt sufficiently to reduce slippage, but avoid overtightening.
