INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
GASBOY products must be installed by a qualified installer and used in conformance with all
building, fire, and environmental codes and other safety requirements applicable to its installation
and use, including, but not limited to, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, & NFPA 70. This product is only part
of a fuel dispensing system and additional equipment and accessories, such as, but not limited to,
breakaway connectors, shear valves, pressure regulators, and other safety devices may be
necessary to meet the applicable codes.
1. DO read the WARNINGS page at the front of this manual, preceding the Table of Contents.
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.
In a fuel management system application, the DISABLE PUMPS and STOP keys on the
console and/or the optional DISABLE PUMPS button on the Island Card Reader do not
remove AC power from equipment and under certain conditions, will not stop product flow.
In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, we
recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.
3. DO have the pump/remote dispenser installed by a competent installer/electrician.
4. DO install breakaway coupling on discharge hose. If using a high hose retriever, install
breakaway approximately 12" downstream of hose clamp on nozzle side of clamp.
5. DO NOT experiment with a pump if you are not sure the installation is correct.
6. DO NOT overload sub- or main breaker panels.
7. DO NOT install any underground piping without proper swing joints. (Always use shoulder
nipples, never close nipples).
8. DO NOT cover any lines until they have been both air- and liquid-tested.
9. DO NOT back-fill the tank or supply line with cinders or ashes. (Back-fill with clean sand,
crushed rock, or pea gravel).
10. DO NOT use black iron pipe or fittings for underground installations. (Use only new
galvanized or fiberglass* pipe and fittings). *Install all fiberglass pipe and fittings according to
manufacturer's specifications and requirements.
11. DO NOT use power line wiring of inadequate capacity. (Use gauge specified by the wiring
diagram or wire chart provided in Section 4).
05/26/04 2-1
GASBOY Series 8700E
12. DO NOT use a circuit breaker of improper size. (See Section 4).
13. DO NOT install fill pipe to tank where it can be submerged with standing water.
14. DO NOT use the GASBOY fuel dispensing equipment to remove water ballast from the
storage tank.
15. DO NOT use gaskets on covers of explosion-proof type boxes. The sealing compound
found around wires at various locations within conduit is a requirement of the National
Electrical Code and should not be disturbed. Ensure that the mating surfaces between the
junction box and cover are free of dirt, debris, nicks and scratches. Tighten junction box
covers before replacing panels.
16. DO NOT use knock-out boxes or flexible conduit for installing this unit. All power and lighting
wires should be run in threaded, rigid, metal conduit. All threaded connections must be
drawn up tight with five (5) threads minimum engagement. Only one opening in the AC
junction box is provided with a plug at the factory. At completion of the installation, it is the
installer's responsibility to ensure that any unused openings are plugged.
FOUNDATION
When constructing the pump island for the dispensing equipment, be sure to extend the island
excavation beyond the depth of the frost line. Leave open an area from the inside edge of the
unit's base as shown on the specific base layout. Unless required by local regulations, do not
cement the pipes and conduits into the island. The open area within the base will provide access
for future servicing of the fittings, check valve and conduit assemblies. Fill in the boxed-in section
with dry sand to keep condensation in the pump housing to a minimum and to help prevent
fogging of the totalizer window.
Secure the pump/remote dispenser to the island using anchor bolts through the two mounting
holes, which are 13 inches (330mm) apart and are indicated on each base layout by an X. If the
dispensing unit is not securely fastened to the island, supply line leaks at unions and pipe joints
may occur. Use one of two types of bolts to anchor the pump to the island. Use two (2) 1/2" x 5"
(13mm x 125mm) long machine bolts imbedded in the concrete, or, to meet minimum UL and API
requirements for universal interchangeability of pumps, use two 1/2" x 3-1/2" (13mm x 90mm)
long lag screws with 2" (50mm) long expansion shields.
SUCTION PUMP
The pump and the tank should be located close to each other with as few changes in direction of
the supply line, as possible. This reduces the possibility of vaporization (gasoline only), attains the
highest possible flow rate, and results in a lower installation cost. Avoid long supply lines and
excessive vertical lifts. The dynamic lift for this unit is rated at 12 feet (3.66m) for gasoline and 13
feet (3.96m) for diesel and can vary according to conditions of the installation and fuel
temperature.
If a model is to be used with an above-ground tank, a pressure regulator valve is required on the
suction side of the pump; consult your GASBOY representative for details. The tank should be
free of water and dirt. It is recommended that the tank be pressure tested to verify it is tight.
NOTE: The outlet fitting at the top of the float chamber should be connected to drain back to the
storage tank. The pipe size for the return line to the storage tank should be at least 3/8"
(10mm).
2-2 05/26/04
Installation
REMOTE DISPENSER
Locate the remote dispenser and tank with submersible pump as close to each other as possible
to attain minimum possible pressure drop and the highest possible flow rate, consistent with the
pump capacity. Consult the submersible pump manufacturer's recommendations for pipe sizing
and installation instructions pertaining to the model of submersible pump being installed.
A Listed emergency shut-off valve (OPW 10RUS or equal) must be installed under each remote
dispenser with the shear groove at the same level as the top of the concrete island + 1/2" (13mm).
The shear valve should be rigidly supported to insure proper shearing and closure of the valve in
the event the remote dispenser is dislodged. According to the type of shear valve, a different
supply nipple may be required.
After a shear valve has operated on an emergency basis from fire or mechanical shock, or
if it does not operate correctly when inspected, repairs must be made before putting the
remote dispenser into service.
It is required by the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code that a leak detector be installed in
the system to prevent underground leaks from going unnoticed.
SUPPLY LINE
Use new galvanized or fiberglass (see note) pipe, 1-1/2" (38mm) minimum diameter.
Be sure both the pipe and the tank are clean. Foreign matter entering the pump can cause
extensive damage. Obstructions in the supply line can create pump problems and reduced flow
rate.
Make sure all pipe threads are properly cut and the inside reamed to remove burrs. Use Listed
gasoline-resistant compound on all joints of gasoline handling piping. Sealing compound must
also be resistant to Gasohol (Ethanol and Methanol). Do not use Teflon Pipe Sealing Tape. Use
gasoline-resistant pipe compound on male threads only; pipe compound used on female threads
can be squeezed into the supply line where it can enter the product stream and become lodged in
the pump or meter. Install swing joints under the pump and at the tank to avoid breaks in the
supply line from settling or frost heave.
To avoid product delivery problems on suction pumps, be sure there are no traps in the supply
line. Supply lines, for both suction pumps and submersible pumps, should go straight down
beneath the pump to a point 18 inches (45.7cm) below the ground level and pitch at a rate of 1/8
inch per foot (3mm) from there down to the storage tank. The supply line should be as short and
direct as possible with swing joints at all turns. Support the horizontal run of pipe at 10-foot
(3.05m) intervals to maintain pitch and prevent traps. Do not use wood as pipe supports.
New EPA regulations require that only one check valve be used per supply line and located
directly below, and as close as practical to the suction pump. Do not use spring-loaded or union
check valves since these will unnecessarily reduce the flow rate and contribute to the reduction of
atmospheric pressure necessary to keep gasoline in a liquid state.
Upon completion of installation, all liquid-carrying lines must be checked for leaks.

CONTROL LINES
PURPOSE
This section is provided to familiarize the installer with the control inputs and outputs that are
available for the 8700E dispensing unit. It is recommended the installer read these descriptions to
obtain a better working knowledge of the unit in order to guide him in planning the site wiring.
Reference Section 4 for specific wiring diagrams and installation notes.
The Series 8700 may be provided for use with 230 VAC power for international applications. The
operating voltage for control lines to these units is shown in parentheses as (230 VAC Int'l).
GROUNDING
To ensure proper operation of the equipment and provide the necessary safety factors, a good
ground line must be provided. A ground wire (preferably green) must be connected between the
unit's AC junction box ground lug and the main electrical service panel. One (1) earth ground
connection is required per unit. The ground rod is to be a solid, corrosion-resistant conductor and
must be installed at the main electrical panel in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It
should be properly tied into the ground bus strip of the panel. We recommend the neutral and
ground bus strips be bonded together (unless prohibited by local codes).
PUMP FEED
The pump feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC Int'l) input which is supplied to the input side of one of the
pump handle and the internal switches of the electric reset. It supplies power to the reset motor
through the pump handle. When the reset finishes its cycle, the 115 VAC (230 VAC Int'l) input to
the reset switches is passed through as an output causing the pump motor to receive power and
begin running. It also supplies power to the solenoid valves if they are provided. Two feed lines
are provided in twins. The gauge of this wire (and its return wire) should be determined according
to the size of the motor, the voltage at which the motor will be powered (115VAC or 230VAC), and
the distance from the breaker panel to the pump. It is possible to combine the pump feeds for
twins and supply them from one breaker; however, the gauge of the wire needs to be adjusted to
handle the load of two motors.
DISPENSER FEED
The dispenser (DISP) feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC Int'l) input which is supplied to the input side of
one of the pump handle and the internal switches of the electric reset. It supplies power to the
reset motor through the pump handle. When the reset finishes its cycle, the 115 VAC (230 VAC
Int'l) input to the reset switches is passed through as an output to the submersible pump (or
starter relay) and the solenoid valves. Two feed lines are provided in twins. The gauge of this
wire (and its return wire) should be determined according to the size and voltage of the
submersible pump (if the pump is driven without a starter relay), and the distance from the
breaker panel to the pump. It is possible to combine the dispenser feeds for twins and supply
them from one breaker; however, the gauge of the wire needs to be adjusted to handle the load of
the submersible pump(s) if they are directly driven.
05/26/04 3-1
GASBOY Series 8700E
RETURN
The return is the AC current return line back to the breaker panel for all attached devices (pump
motor, reset motor, solenoid valves). The gauge of this wire should be equal to that of the pump
feed (suction pumps) or dispenser feed (remote dispensers).
LIGHT FEED
The light feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC Int'l) input required to power the fluorescent lights. In a site
configuration using multiple remote dispensers (or pumps), the power for the lights of up to 8 units
can be supplied by 1 breaker. If separate control of the lights is not desired, the light feed for
each dispensing unit may be taken from its pump or dispenser feed.
LIGHT RETURN
The light return is a return line for AC current from the lights to the breaker panel. When a
separate breaker is not used to control the lights, the light return is attached to the return of the
pump or remote dispenser.
PHASE 2 FEED
The phase 2 feed is a hot feed which is the opposite phase of the pump motor feed. This line is
used to power the motor at 230VAC in domestic (115 VAC) applications.
PULSER
The pulser supplies a DC output which is provided to indicate the quantity dispensed. Pulsers are
optional and are only used when monitoring of the dispensing unit operation is desired as when
used with a fuel management system.

Section 4
WIRING
Customers and installers having any questions pertaining to the installation should
contact their GASBOY distributor.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels and
providing trouble-free operation of your GASBOY pump/remote dispenser. To assure a quality
installation, follow these rules:
1. All wiring must be installed to 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.
3. Use only UL-labeled insulated gasoline- and oil-resistant stranded copper wiring of the proper
size.
4. Wire connections should be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut; close off the open
end of the wire nut with electrical tape.
5. The line to the motor should be on a separate circuit and installed on a 20 to 30 AMP breaker
depending on the motor size and/or the voltage setting.
In a fuel management system application, the DISABLE PUMPS and STOP keys on the
console and/or the optional DISABLE PUMPS button on the Island Card Reader do not
remove AC power from equipment and under certain conditions, will not stop product flow.
In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, we
recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to
the pump/remote dispenser. In submersible pump applications, turn off
power to the submersible pump and any other remote dispensers which
use that submersible pump. AC power can feed back into a shut-off
dispenser when remote dispensers share a common submersible pump
or starter relay.
05/26/04 4-1
GASBOY Series 8700E
GROUNDING
To ensure proper operation of the equipment and provide the necessary safety factors, this unit
must be grounded. A ground wire (preferably green) must be connected between the unit's AC
junction box ground lug and the main electrical service panel. One (1) earth ground connection is
required per unit. The ground rod is to be a solid, corrosion-resistant conductor and must be
installed at the main electrical panel in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It should be
properly tied into the ground bus strip of the panel. We recommend the neutral and ground bus
strips be bonded together (unless prohibited by local codes).
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated breaker. No other equipment should be
powered from this breaker. Remote dispensers may be grouped together on a single breaker
when the submersible pump has its own breaker. It is recommended that no more than two
remote dispensers be powered from one breaker to maintain isolated control with the circuit
breaker panel in case of problems. Units directly driving pumps (suction or submersible) should
be supplied power from a separate breaker. A tag on the motor identifies the maximum current
draw of the motor. If two (2) pumps are supplied from one breaker, that breaker must be capable
of handling the load of both motors. In cases where multiple remote dispensers supply power to a
single submersible pump, all breakers controlling the remote dispenser must be on the same
phase of power. Failure to do this will damage the equipment. Provisions must be made to break
both legs of any AC circuit.
Very often on installation, it becomes necessary to change the original setting to suit the AC
power source. To do this, locate the motor changeover plate, typically located on the shaft end of
the motor, and remove the screw which secures it in place. Slide the plate so that the desired
voltage, as marked on the plate, lines up with the screw hole. Reinsert the screw and secure the
plate in place.
Many motor failures result from improper setting of the motor change-over plate. If set for 115
VAC and a 230 VAC feed is used, the motor will burn out after running only a short time. If set for
230 VAC and a 115 VAC feed is used, the motor will run very slowly and the starting field will soon
burn out.
4-2 05/26/04
Wiring
WIRE SIZE
Table 4-1 shows the required AC wire size for suction and submersible pumps based on the HP
rating of the pump motor and the distance from the circuit breaker to the pump/remote dispenser
for both 115 and 230 VAC units. Use this table as a guide for selecting the proper wire size for
the Pump Feed, Phase 2 Feed, and Return.
The table also applies to the Disp Feed, and Subm Drive of a dispenser when the submersible
pump is directly driven via the dispenser control circuitry. A starter relay must be used; however,
when the submersible pump motor is greater than 1 HP at 115 VAC or 2 HP at 230 VAC. When
using a starter relay for the pump motor, the control lines to the dispenser may be 12 AWG.
If multiple units (pumps/remote dispensers/lights) are powered from the same breaker through the
same wires, you must increase the gauge of the wires to handle the added load according to the
distance from the breaker panel and the HP rating (if applicable).
The AC wire size for the Light Feed and Return, when the lights are wired from a single dedicated
breaker, should be 14 AWG for distances up to 300 feet (91.4m) or 12 AWG for distances over
300 feet (91.4m).
The DC wire size for the Pulser lines must be 18 AWG (when they are used). Shielded cable as
described in the Pulsers section allows pulser lines to be run with AC wires.
05/26/04 4-3
GASBOY Series 8700E
CONDUIT
All wiring to the GASBOY Series 8700E dispensing unit must be installed in threaded, rigid, metal
conduit. PVC is not acceptable. When the GASBOY Series 8700E dispensing unit is used with
a GASBOY fuel management system, it is recommended that AC power wires be installed in a
separate conduit from the DC pulser; they should not run in any sort of common conduit or trough.
However, if AC and DC power wires share conduit, pulse wiring must use the cable as specified in
the Pulsers section.
When using a fuel management system other than a GASBOY system, see the manufacturer's
installation manual for specific conduit requirements.
All wiring and conduit runs must also conform with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the
Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A). All wiring and conduit runs must
conform to local codes. Canadian users must also comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
Use the charts below as a guideline to determine the proper conduit sizes for the GASBOY Series
8700E dispensing unit. When planning the orientation of the wiring runs, follow the applicable
GASBOY wiring diagram and consider the layout of the components at the site. Long runs or a
large number of bends may require you to increase conduit size over what is listed.
To determine conduit size needed, use the THHN/THWN Wire Areas table (left) to find the area
for each wire gauge. Add up all wire areas. Use the Areas of Trade Size Conduit Table (right) to
select the smallest number in the 25% fill area (based on NEC 501-1) that comes closest without
exceeding the total wire area.

The following pages contain wiring notes and wiring diagrams. Consult the appropriate wiring
diagram for your pump/remote dispenser model and follow all notes.
Wiring diagrams are presented in numerical order. Wiring diagram 024214 has two diagrams:
one for simultaneous operation of master and satellite and one for non-simultaneous operation.
Be sure to use the correct one for your application.
NOTES:
1. All wiring and conduit runs 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.
2. When wiring pumps, for 115 VAC applications, motors can be wired as 230 VAC to reduce
current draw. See breakaway view of Optional 230 VAC Motor. The selector switch should
be set to the 230 V position. All other wiring should remain the same except for the addition
of the L2 (requires 230 VAC breaker for control).
3. When wiring remote dispensers, submersible starter relays are always recommended when
a submersible pump is used; however, the control circuit is capable of directly driving a
submersible pump up to 1 HP at 115/230 VAC. Any pump over these ratings will require a
submersible starter relay.
4. If using a satellite for fueling, see Weights and Measures Handbook 44 to determine which
mode of satellite operation is relevant for your application. In many cases, the satellite must
be wired so it cannot dispense product while the master remote dispenser is dispensing and
vice versa. Use the correct wiring diagram according to your application.
5. If combining a remote dispenser with a fuel management system, the maximum HP limitation
for directly driving a remote dispenser without the use of an additional relay or submersible
starter must be the lower of the two components.
6. Use the wire size chart listed on page 4-3 when determining the wire size for the control
wiring.

PULSERS
GENERAL
A pulser is an optional device which is used when external monitoring of the dispensing unit
operation is desired. The pulser transmits one electrical signal (pulse) for each predetermined
amount of fuel dispensed. The signal is received by the external monitor (fuel management
system) which keeps a running total of the quantity of fuel being dispensed during each
transaction.
All pulsers are operated with DC voltages. These pulsers include the reed pulser which outputs
10 pulses per unit of measure and the electronic pulsers which are available at 100 pulses per
unit of measure. The pulser type should be selected according to the monitoring equipment, the
application, and the regulations that must be met.
All pulsers are driven by shafts or gears from the computer register. The EXTQTY shaft is the
pulser drive most commonly used to meet requested pulser applications. This shaft is for quantity
and does not turn during reset. The register offers another pulse drive which is seldom used by
GASBOY. It is the RHQTY gear which is attached to the right hand quantity wheel which resets to
the same position at the beginning of each transaction during the reset process.
WIRING
When installed in a separate DC conduit, 18 AWG wires are required for installation. Although it
is recommended that DC pulser wires be run in a conduit separate from AC wires, they can be
combined in the same conduit with AC wires providing UL-Listed cable with the following
specifications is used:
GASBOY can supply Belden 1063A (P/N C09655) which is a UL-Listed, 4-conductor cable that
meets the requirements listed above. NOTE: Belden 1063A is UL-Listed but not CSA listed.

START-UP
2. All plumbing must be complete and tight. All liquid-carrying lines must be checked for
leaks.
3. When DC pulsers are used in the pump for connecting to GASBOY fuel management
systems, AC and DC wires should not share any conduits, junction boxes, or troughs unless
the restrictions outlined in the Pulsers, Wiring section are met.
4. All conduit work must be complete. All junction box covers must be secured. Conduits
should not be sealed until the wiring is verified through proper operation.
6. Before any testing begins, remove any water in the tank through a fill opening, using a
suitable pump. Do not use the GASBOY pump or remote dispenser and submersible pump
to remove water. Serious damage may occur.
7. A sufficient volume of fuel must be put in the tank to insure that the liquid level is above the
bottom of the suction pipe (suction pumps) or is high enough to allow the submersible pump
to operate efficiently (remote dispensers).
START-UP
After successfully verifying the installation against the completion check list, the unit is ready for
start-up. Follow the procedure listed below to perform an orderly start-up of the 8700E dispensing
unit.
1. Turn on the circuit breaker(s) for the various control lines to the unit.
2. Remove the nozzle for Side 1 from its holder and turn on the pump handle. Verify that the
computer register goes through its reset sequence, which consists of the total volume wheels
resetting to all zeroes.
3. Dispense fuel. If the unit contains a slow/fast flow valve, verify that it opens. Check all
plumbing for leaks at this time.
4. Turn the pump handle off. Open the nozzle. No fuel should be dispensed.

5. The light assembly should be tested to verify proper operation of the fluorescent light. The
light control circuit may be wired from the pump breaker (reset motor feed) or from its own
separate breaker. In either case, turn on the proper breaker and verify that the fluorescent
light will light. If the light does not come on, the light switch in the electric reset unit of the
dispensing unit may be in the "off" position . In twin dispensing units the reset unit on the
right side of the twin (the side with the serial tag) will be the one which controls the light. To
change the switch position, locate the small plastic access cap which is located on the side of
the pump, slightly below and left of the pump handle. Pull this cap out and insert a pencil or
screwdriver into this hole and press firmly inward until a "click" sound is heard, indicating a
change in the switch position. Pressing the switch again will change the switch to its original
position. When the switch selection is complete, replace the plastic cap by pressing it firmly
into its initial position.
7. The dispensing unit should go through all standard calibration procedures (See Calibration).
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 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 insure 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 make sure 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 not be covered until this test
has been completed.
Since belts do stretch slightly during the first few minutes of operation, check the belt tension after
completing the operational test; a properly tightened belt will permit twisting the belt 180 degrees
midway between the motor and pump pulleys.
On the 8752E, 8753E, 8752ETW1M, 8753ETW1M, 8752ETW2, and 8753ETW2 models, the belt
can be tightened by loosening the hex nut which holds the idler pulley and sliding the pulley to
either side to obtain the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs., + 3/4 (30N, + 3.3N). When the
adjustment is complete, remember to retighten the hex nut.
On the 8752ETW1 and 8753ETW1 models, the belt can be tightened by loosening the cap screw
which holds the idler arm and sliding the arm to obtain the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs., + 3/4
(30N, + 3.3N). When the adjustment is complete, remember to retighten the cap screw.

Start-Up
Calibration
All GASBOY pumps and remote dispensers are adjusted for accurate measure at the factory.
However, since the conditions of the installation can affect pump accuracy, it is the responsibility
of the installer to check the pump for accuracy and make any needed adjustments. Where
required, it is the owner's responsibility to report this device to the local Weights and Measures
officials for their inspection before the unit is put into service.
1. Loosen the lock nut on adjusting screw and back screw out until it stops.
3. Turn adjustment screw in until reset motor starts. Advance adjustment screw one additional
revolution and tighten lock nut.
4. Turn reset lever to OFF, then back to ON to check proper operation. (Reset coupling should
make one revolution and stop).

OPERATING SEQUENCE
PUMP
1. AC Power (115 VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) must be provided to the pump motor feed and reset
motor feed (slow flow/reset motor feed if applicable).
2. When the pump handle is turned on, power (115 VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) is supplied to the
electric reset motor which immediately begins to reset the values on the pump computer
register to zero. If pump fails to reset properly, see Section 6, Power Reset External
Adjustment.
3. When the reset is complete, power is removed from the reset motor and the internal
switches in the reset unit change to the normally open contacts. This supplies power (115
VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) to the pump motor and to the reset complete line. If this pump contains
a slow flow/fast flow or closure type solenoid valve, the valves will open at this time.
5. The register displays the total volume. If an optional pulser kit is attached, it will be supplying
pulses which may be recorded by an external monitoring system.
6. The fueling transaction continues to run until the user turns off the pump handle. If pump
fails to shut off properly, see Section 6, Power Reset External Adjustment.
REMOTE DISPENSER
1. AC power (115VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) must be provided to the submersible feed and slow
flow/reset motor feed. If a submersible starter relay is used, AC power (115 or 230 VAC)
must be supplied to the input contacts of the submersible starter relay.
2. When the pump handle is turned on, power (115 VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) is supplied to the
electric reset motor which immediately begins to reset the values on the pump computer
register to zero. If remote dispenser fails to reset properly, see Section 6, Power Reset
External Adjustment.
3. When the reset is complete, power is removed from the reset motor and the internal
switches in the reset unit change to the normally open contacts. This supplies power (115
VAC, 230 VAC Int'l) to the submersible starter relay, which in turn closes and supplies power
to the submersible motor. If a starter relay is not used, the hot leg is supplied directly to the
submersible motor. The remote dispenser will contain a slow flow/fast flow or closure type
solenoid valve, which will open at this time. At the same time the valve opens, the Reset
Complete line will go to 115 VAC (230 VAC Int'l).
4. The user begins to dispense product.
5. The register displays the total volume. If an optional pulser kit is attached, it will be supplying
pulses which may be recorded by an external monitoring system.
6. The fueling transaction continues to run until the user turns off the pump handle. If remote
dispenser fails to reset properly, see Section 6, Power Reset External Adjustment.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
GASBOY pumps and remote dispensers are designed and constructed to give many years of
uninterrupted service. In fact, hundreds of operators report years of trouble-free operation with
absolutely no service expense. Yet, certain parts of a pump are bound to wear, and GASBOY
therefore recommends a periodic inspection, at least twice a year, for such things as fuel leaks,
belt tension and condition, lubrication and strainer cleanliness. If such a procedure is followed,
any small adjustments that are necessary can be made before expensive, annoying breakdowns
occur. The result of this sound approach is continuous, profitable service from all of your
GASBOY equipment.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to the
pump/remote dispenser. In submersible pump applications turn off power to the
submersible pump and any other remote dispensers which use that submersible
pump. AC power can feed back into a shut-off dispenser when remote
dispensers share a common submersible pump or starter relay. Always turn off
all power to the remote dispenser and submerged pumps at the master panel and
close any impact valve before performing any maintenance or service to the
remote dispenser, including the changing of any fuel filters or strainers. Also
block islands so no vehicles can pull up to the remote dispenser when the remote
dispenser is being worked on.

Pump Lubrication
The pumping unit should be lubricated every six months or every 100,000 gallons (378,530 liters).
Turn off AC power. Apply a few drops of a light grade oil (SAE 10) to the felt pad located on the
pump body slightly above the shaft which connects to the pump pulley. Oil used should be
suitable for temperatures ranging from -40oF to 180oF (-40oC to 82.2oC).
All rotary pump models, are packed with special "V" packings which can be easily replaced by
slipping the pump pulley off the shaft and removing the cap screws, retainer plate, and oil well felt.
Pull the bearing from the pump shaft to allow the new packing rings to be inserted. The packing
gland is spring-loaded to keep packing tight at all times. When old packing rings are removed, be
sure to replace them with a like number of new rings. It is important to fill the stuffing box to
prevent leaks.
Meter Lubrication
If the meter begins to leak around the drive shaft extending from the top of the meter unit, it may
be necessary to replace the Teflon seals. Turn off the AC power. Remove the outer packing
gland plate and the upper bearing assembly. When replacing the new seals (reddish brown and
black) and the O-ring into the packing cavity of the meter cover, be careful not to damage them.
8-2 05/26/04
Preventive Maintenance
Turn off the AC power to the pump. It's easier to clean and oil the computer if you remove it from
the pump. Clean the computer with compressed air and wipe all accessible parts (such as figure
wheel drums) with a clean cloth. NOTE: Always wear protective safety goggles or glasses when
using compressed air. Never use solvents, such as gasoline or kerosene, as this will become
trapped in many of the inaccessible bearings and dissolve the new lubricant when it is applied.
A light, non-acid type oil (SAE 10) is recommended because this gives maximum protection in
varying temperatures. The oil must also be acid-free so that it will not cause corrosion of the cast
metal parts. A long handled, fine lettering brush is very convenient for applying the oil to all
bearings and shafts and for applying light, nonfluid oil (grease with body similar to that of chassis
lubricant) to the bevel type gears.
Dial Face
Clean the dial face with a soft, clean, damp cloth as often as necessary.
The symptoms of a dirty or clogged strainer in a pump are slow delivery, noisy operation, and
pulsation. Before starting, close the 10RU safety shutoff valves under each pump you are
working on. Then follow these directions:
Pump: Turn off AC power to the pump. Locate the Suction Strainer Cap on the pumping unit
and unscrew it to access and remove the strainer. Use compressed air to blow the dirt out of
the strainer.
Remote dispenser: Turn off AC power to the remote dispenser, submersible pump, and any
other remote dispensers which use that submersible pump. Locate the Strainer Cap on the
meter and unscrew it to access and remove the strainer. Use compressed air to blow the dirt
out of the strainer.
NOTE: Always wear protective safety goggles or glasses when using compressed air.
Filter
If the unit is equipped with a filter, check and change it at regular intervals. A dirty filter in a pump
or remote dispenser will cause a slower delivery rate. Refer to the accessories section of your
parts manual to ensure that you replace the filter with one designed for your model. Always use a
drip pan directly below the filter when removing the cartridges to prevent contaimination of both
the soil and the electrical components within the cabinet.

GASBOY Series 8700E
With the proper care, belts will give exceptionally good service. A loose belt not only cuts down
dispensing speed, due to slipping, but also results in excessive wear. A properly tightened belt
will allow twisting the belt 180 degrees midway between the motor and the pump pulleys. Before
adjusting any belt, turn off AC power to the pump/remote dispenser.
On the 8752E, 8753E, 8752ETW1M, 8753ETW1M, 8752ETW2, and 8753ETW2 models, the belt
can be tightened by loosening the hex nut which holds the idler pulley and sliding the pulley to
either side to obtain the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs., + 3/4 (30N, + 3.3N). When the
adjustment is complete, remember to retighten the hex nut.
On the 8752ETW1 and 8753ETW1 models, the belt can be tightened by loosening the cap screw
which holds the idler arm and sliding the arm to obtain the correct belt tension of 6-3/4 lbs., + 3/4
(30N, + 3.3N). When the adjustment is complete, remember to retighten the cap screw.
Nearly all gasoline pumps are installed outdoors where their surfaces are subjected to the action
of the weather. As a result, it is necessary to give the finish a reasonable amount of care if an
attractive appearance is to be maintained.
The finish on GASBOY pump housings is urethane paint. The life of this finish can be lengthened
several years if, at regular intervals, the painted surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with a high grade
automobile polish and then protected with a coat of paste wax. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
polish. Do not use high pressure spraying equipment.
In order to retain the unmarked finish on stainless steel, occasional cleaning is required. In
corrosive atmospheres, such as coastal areas, a more frequent cleaning schedule is necessary.
Under ordinary conditions, washing with detergent or soap and water, followed by a clean water
rinse, is sufficient. If hard water is used, the surface should be wiped dry with a soft clean cloth to
prevent the formation of water spots. Marks or spots, such as grease, oily fingerprints and
smudges which resist soap and detergents, will have to be removed with a stronger cleaner. (DO
NOT use ordinary steel wool as iron particles may adhere to the surface and cause corrosion.)
Care should be taken in choosing a cleaner because any cleaning compounds or powders which
contain abrasives can scratch a mill-rolled finish. Care must be exercised in their use to run in the
direction of the polishing lines in the steel, never across them. After cleaning, an application of
paste wax is recommended to protect the surface and prolong the interval between cleaning.
