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 Gilbarco 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

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.
