Teflon tape must not be used for hanging hardware. Sealant must not be used for sealing
connections unless the threads involved are pipe threads. O-ring seals do not require sealant.
However, a small amount of silicone sealant can be used to avoid rolling or damaging of the
O-ring during assembly.
WARNING
Hold-open devices on nozzles that are not of the pressure activated type, can
allow flow to occur through the nozzle for an activated fueling position, without the
subsequent customer manually opening the nozzle.
Spilt or uncontrolled dispensed fuel may result in potential fire, explosion, fuel
chemical burns, or environmental contamination. Serious injury or death may
result.
As per Gilbarco and certain standard requirements, pressure activated nozzles
must be used for installations that use pump/dispenser or Point of Sale (POS)
activated pre-set operation, or alternately, where a latch hold-open device is used
on a non-pressure activated nozzle, the latch hold-open device must be removed.
Consult the nozzle manufacturer for their recommended nozzle model types and
safety recommendations.
WARNING
The hose pulled away from the pump/dispenser could drain fuel or pull the unit over during
a drive-off. Explosion and fire or pull off of the dispenser during a drive-off could result in
severe injury or death.
WARNING
Use of hoses other than standard lengths may create a tripping hazard.
Tripping could result in severe injury or death.
Do not use excessively long hoses without a hose retractor.
Flexible fuels such as Biodiesel, high alcohol percentage fuels, and so on, may be
incompatible with certain plumbing materials and hydraulic components.
Use of incompatible materials or components with alternative fuels can result in leaks or
unexpected failures of components resulting in fire or explosion or environmental damage.
When dispensing alternative fuels, verify with the manufacturer of the material or component
that all plumbing components are compatible with the fuels being dispensed.
