VST VST-HEVR-SBK Operating and maintenance manual

Figure 1.
EVR Vacuum Assist Hanging Hardware
APPLICATION
These VST Safety Breakaway devices are intended to prevent
damage to the dispenser and hose in the event of a vehicle drive off.
These devices separate at pull forces up to 350 lbs. You will need to
determine that 350 lbs. of pull force will not damage the dispenser.
After verifying that the dispenser is securely bolted to the island,
it can be tested by using a spring scale and a length of rope. The
rope must be connected at the dispenser outlet casting, which may
require a threaded bushing with a hole for attaching the rope. Attach
the scale to the rope and pull to 350 lbs.in several directions. Be sure
to avoid damaging the dispenser.
NOTE
a. The whip hose ALWAYS attaches to the dispenser. If a retractor
is being used, the retractor clamp MUST be between the
breakaway and dispenser.
b. VST hoses are made to withstand 350 pounds tensile pull without
damage. If another brand of hose is present at the dispenser, VST
recommends that you contact the hose manufacturer regarding
the compatibility with this breakaway device.
GENERAL INFORMATION
If hanging hardware components are involved in a drive-off or incur
other customer abuse, each individual component must be functionally
tested prior to customer dispensing activities.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
These procedures must be followed to ensure leak-proof installation
and operation of these safety breakaway products.
1. Turn off and tag the power to the dispenser. Dispenser must be
de-energized prior to service to avoid personal injury.
2. Barricade work area to block vehicle access to the dispenser.
3. Close dispenser shear valve prior to performing any service work
with the hanging hardware (hoses, safety breakaways, and
nozzles).
4. Drain liquid product from the hanging hardware set into an
approved container prior to replacing any hanging hardware
component.
5. When not using the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool (VST-
BAT-200), remove hanging hardware from the dispenser prior
to making replacement component assembly connections. VST
recommends connecting the whip hose to dispenser as the last
connection during hanging hardware assembly.

INSTALLATION AND FUNCTION TESTS
1. Initial inspection:
a. Carefully unpack safety breakaway from shipping carton.
b. Inspect safety breakaway for any damage to threads, O-rings,
exterior, etc.
2. Lightly lubricate ALL O-rings on mating connections with
petroleum jelly or other suitable lubricant. DO NOT USE pipe
dope or thread sealant.
3. Attach breakaway on mating connection and tighten by hand.
NOTE FLOW DIRECTION ARROW (where applicable). Use
the hex on the breakaway body to tighten. DO NOT USE the
breakaway body to tighten the unit.
4. Tighten breakaway connection to 50 ft.-lbs. of torque. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN. Use the hex on the breakaway body to tighten.
Use a torque wrench with an open-end attachment to fit the
hose couplings and an open-end wrench to properly tighten
breakaway connections. DO NOT USE channel-locks or pliers
to tighten connections. Proper ft.-lb. torque may not be achieved
with these tools.
5. Purge air from the system by pumping one-tenth (1/10) to two
tenths (2/10) of a gallon of fuel into an approved container.
Inspect each breakaway joint connection for liquid leaks and
meter creep. Make proper adjustments at the breakaway
connection if necessary.
6. Check the nozzle shut-off action by dispensing fuel into an
approved container at least three times to assure proper
automatic operation. To test, operate the nozzle and submerge the
spout tip in fuel until the fuel level covers the vent hole. The main
valve of the nozzle automatically shuts off when liquid covers the
vent hole at the end of the spout. The dispenser should deliver a
minimum of 3 gpm. Hold open latch will disengage automatically
when liquid covers the vent hole in the spout.
7. Measure the resistance between the dispenser outlet casting
and the tip of the nozzle spout. Use an electronic multimeter set
on the high range of the ohmmeter function. Resistance should
not indicate more than 70,000 ohms per foot of hose. Example:
The measured resistance for a 12-foot hose must not exceed
840,000 ohms (840 kilohms).
BREAKAWAY REATTACHMENT PROCEDURES
These VST reattachable breakaways can be reconnected in either
one of two methods:
METHOD 1: Use of the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool (VST-
BAT-200) with the appropriate reassembly plates for this breakaway.
1. Follow INSTALLATION PREPARATION steps 1 - 3.
2. Inspect both safety breakaway halves for damage that may
have occurred during separation. Include looking for external
damage to the product, damaged threads, damaged O-rings,
missing O-rings, proper placement of O-rings, etc. If damage is
detected, replace with new product.
3. Prior to reassembling, be sure the mating parts are undamaged
and clean.
4. Lightly lubricate ALL O-rings on mating connections with
petroleum jelly or other suitable lubricant.

5. Utilize the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool with the appropriate
reassembly plates to reassemble the breakaway. The tool is used
to provide appropriate leverage for the ease of reassembly of the
breakaway. This can be done without disassembling the hoses
from the breakaway halves. See Figure 2.
6. Press the button on the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool to spread
the end clamps apart. This will allow for the two separated
breakaway halves to fit between the top and bottom clamps.
7. Slide the top clamp of the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool behind
the hex on the breakaway half still connected to the whip hose.
See Figure 2.
8. Slide the separated bottom half of the breakaway, with curb
hose and nozzle attached, onto the bottom clamp of the VST
Breakaway Assembly Tool. See Figure 2.
9. Slowly squeeze the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool trigger to
bring the breakaway halves together.
10. Carefully align the two breakaway halves.
a. Align the anti-rotation studs (2) inside the breakaway half
on the curb hose with the slots (2) on the other half of the
breakaway attached to the whip hose. See Figure 3.
11. Continue squeezing the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool trigger to
finish reassembly.
12. The two aligned breakaway halves need to be assembled
concentrically (properly aligned) until they snap into place.
a. Listen for a “click” to indicate that the two halves have been
properly reattached.
b. If the two breakaway halves become cocked (misaligned) or
otherwise do not snap together easily, pull them apart and
repeat steps 7 - 12.
CAUTION: Reconnection can cause a small amount of gasoline
to leak out of the breakaway. A towel wrapped loosely around the
breakaway can help to minimize spills.
13.After the two breakaway halves are properly snapped together,
remove the VST Breakaway Assembly Tool (press the button
on the tool to allow it to release), and give the reassembled
breakaway a strong pull to verify that it is properly connected.
14.Perform Section 1.4 – Procedure for Operator Reconnection of
Breakaway and Testing Fueling Point after a Drive-Off in the
Assist Systems Scheduled Maintenance.
METHOD 2: Without the use of the VST Breakaway Assembly
Tool.
1. Follow INSTALLATION PREPARATION steps 1 - 5.
2. Disconnect hoses from the safety breakaway halves.
3. Inspect both safety breakaway halves for damage that may
have occurred during separation. Include looking for external
damage to the product, damaged threads, damaged O-rings,
missing O-rings, proper placement of O-rings, etc. If damage
is detected, replace with new product.
4. Prior to reassembling, be sure the mating parts are undamaged
and clean.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect breakaways regularly for damage, loose connections
or leaks. Replace as necessary. Subject to customer abuse,
breakaways should be replaced when damaged.
The breakaway is designed and constructed to give lasting service
if properly handled and maintained. If for any reason it should need
attention, contact your VST distributor for proper disposition.
NOTE:
Due to abuse, misuse, changing gasoline formulas, variation
in maintenance practices, environmental conditions and/
or conditions beyond the manufacture’s control, dispensing
equipment may need replacement before five (5) years. Inspections
and proper maintenance procedures should be followed by the
station manager to determine if replacement is required before
five (5) years.
WARNING
Unauthorized rebuilding or modifying of breakaways voids ALL
approvals and warranties.
VST products must be used in compliance with applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations.
