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.
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 OSHA Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not familiar with
this requirement, refer to OSHA documentation.
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. Ensure that you do not pinch wires when
replacing covers. Follow OSHA 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. Before you start work, know the
location of the Emergency Power Cutoff Switch (the E-STOP). This switch cuts off power to all fueling equipment and
submerged turbine pumps and is to be used in the event of an emergency. The buttons on the console at the cashier’s station
WILL NOT shut off electrical power to the pump/dispenser. This means that even if you press a button on the console labeled
EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, PUMP STOP, or something similar, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials 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.
WARNING! FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH.
FIRE HAZARD! Do NOT use power tools (Class I Division I and Class I Division II) during the installation or maintenance of
equipment. Sparking could ignite fuel or vapors, resulting in fire.
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HAZARD! Wear appropriate safety equipment during installation or maintenance of equipment.
Avoid exposure to fuel and vapors. Prolonged exposure to fuel may cause severe skin irritations and possible burns.
REQUIREMENTS FOR USE
• The Red Jacket submersible pumps are designed for use only at facilities dispensing motor fuels.
• The application of Red Jacket submersible pumps must be consistent with NFPA Code 30A, OSHA regulations, and federal,
state and local fire codes, and other applicable local regulations.
• The selection of any Veeder-Root product must be based upon physical specifications and limitations and the product’s
compatibility with the materials to be handled. Veeder-Root makes no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

skin away from liquid gasoline and gasoline vapors. Avoid prolonged breathing of gasoline vapors.

Introduction Warnings and Instructions
4
WARNING! Before installing leak detector, review the application section in leak detector manual
#5191 for limitations or restrictions on usage.
NOTICE! This instruction sheet should be kept with the end user of the leak detector for reference.
When using 117-182 Big-Flo Diaphragm Valve, refer to installation instructions #042-108-1 included
with the valve. When using an FXV model leak detector with adapter housing #038-072-5, refer to
installation instructions #041-415-1 included with the housing. FXV Leak Detectors are for use with
all UL-listed 4-inch Red Jacket models containing a “P” or “AG” prefix; FE Petro UL-listed 4-inch
“STP” models; Tokheim UL-listed 4-inch models — 585A-34 and 585A-150.
WARNING! Tampering with the screws or seals on this leak detector may inhibit operation and will
void warranty.
DO NOT wire submersible pumps to run continuously. Red Jacket line leak detectors will not perform
leak tests on pumping systems that run continuously.
NOTICE! ALL AIR MUST BE OUT OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE LEAK DETECTOR TO WORK PROPERLY.
Before installing leak detector in the pump, fill the system with product by running the pump and
delivering product from each dispenser (starting with the farthest from the pump and working to the
pump) until all air is removed from system.
Certain regulatory bodies require that leak detectors remain in the system after the lines have been installed. The
lines may be purged of air by back-pressuring the lines with an inert gas, such as helium or nitrogen, to a pressure
of 25 psi (172 kPa). This may be done at the impact valve under the dispenser. When this pressure has been
reached, the leak detector will be in the open position. By turning on the pump and gradually bleeding the gas from
the line through a valve at the impact valve of the farthest dispenser, the line may be purged of air.
