3 – Installation

Before You Begin

Before uncrating the pump, inspect the crate for damage. A damaged crate indicates possible
internal damage to the dispenser, and the delivering carrier should be notified of possible
concealed damage. It is recommended that the original shipping crate be used for any pump
returns.

Installation Precautions

All installations must 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.

Plan your installation carefully. A pump cannot be expected to work satisfactorily unless the
underground installation is correct. Dispensing troubles, which seem to be pump-related, are
frequently traced to faulty installation. Review the following list of installation DOs and
DON’Ts to avoid potential problems:

1

DO read the

“Important Safety Information”

on

page 3

. It contains important information

regarding the safe use of your dispensing equipment.

2

DO 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.

3

DO have the pump installed by a competent installer/electrician familiar with all applicable
local, state and national codes that may apply.

4

DO install breakaway coupling on discharge hose. If using a high hose retriever, install
breakaway approximately 12-inches downstream of hose clamp on nozzle side of clamp.

5

DO NOT experiment with a pump if you are not sure that the installation is correct.

6

DO NOT overload sub or main breaker panels.
