Important Safety Information
No Open Fire
Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches or
other sources can ignite f
uels and their vapors.
No Sparks - No Smoking
Sparks from starting vehicles, starting or using power tools,
burning cigarettes, cigars or pipes can also ignite fuels and their
vapors. Static electricity, including an electrostatic charge on
your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuel vapors.
Every time you get out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your
vehicle, to discharge any electrostatic charge before you
approach the dispenser island.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of
rendering first aid be present during servicing. Familiarize
yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, if
you work with or around high voltages. This information is
available from the American Red Cross. Always advise the
station personnel about where you will be working, and caution
them not to activate power while you are working on the
equipment. Use the Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not
familiar with this requirement, refer to this information in the
service manual.
Working With Electricity Safely
Ensure that you use safe and established practices in working
with electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may cause a fire,
explosion or electrical shock. Ensure that grounding
connections are properly made. Take care that sealing devices
and compounds are in place. Ensure that you do not pinch wires
when replacing covers. Follow Lockout/Tagout requirements.
Station employees and service contractors need to understand
and comply with this program completely to ensure safety while
the equipment is down.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials present inside electronic enclosures may
present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that you
clean hands after handling equipment. Do not place any
equipment in the mouth.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root encourages the recycling of
our products. Some products contain electronics,
batteries, or other materials that may require special
management practices depending on your location.
Please refer to your local, state, or country
regulations for these requirements.
