•Mar 28 08 10:03a Sandra Barnhart 2098 58586 p.10 Important Safetv Messages FE Petro equipment is designed to be installed in association with volatile hydrocarbon liquids such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Installing or working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these highly flammable liquids may be present. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed. Read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing or working on this, or any other related equipment. As you read this guide, please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings: This symbol identifies a warning. A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a Warning A potentially hazardous situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death. This is a caution symbol. A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially Caution ds hazardous environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm the environment. Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the warning A entire system. Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of an explosion or fire from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on during installation or servicing. Do not smoke while working on or near this equipment,and use only non-sparking tools. Before entering a containment sump, check for the presence of hydrocarbon vapors. If these Warning A vapors are inhaled they could cause dizziness or unconsciousness, and, if ignited, hydrocarbon vapors could explode causing serious injury or death. Electronic and electrical petroleum monitoring equipment is often housed in containment sumps designed to trap hazardous liquid spills and prevent contamination of the environment, and, as a consequence, containment sumps can trap dangerous amounts of hydrocarbon vapors. If these vapor levels reach unsafe amounts, ventilate the sump with fresh air. While working in the sump, periodically check the atmosphere in the sump, if vapors reach unsafe levels, exit the sump and ventilate it before continuing work. Always have a second person standing by for assistance when working in, or around,a containment sump. Follow all federal, state, and local laws governing the installation of this product and its Warning A associated systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A, and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage,and/or environmental contamination. A Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually warning mounted underground,so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions, secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel. Thermal expansion can cause pressure to build up in the product lines. FE Petro, Inc. Waming A STP/1ST's have a built-in relief valve to release this excess line pressure back to the tank. Do not use an additional check valve unless it has the capability to relieve excess pressure back to the tank, as this could result in a buildup of abnormal pressure in the lines, causing a pipe or joint in the supply line piping to burst, and release of fuel into the environment. This leak detector is designed for use in certain applications and in compliance with industry Waming A standards and practices. Use In different applications or failure to follow industry standards and practices may cause the product to malfunction or fail. Do not attempt to disassemble the leak detector. Some parts are under strong spring tension Warning A and could cause severe injury if not handled properly. STP-MLA units are designed to detect leaks from where the STP-MLD is installed and Caution /N downstream of it. A leak in the piping upstream of the STP-MLD, which includes the pump, would require a second means of monitoring to be detected. Thus, install the STP-MLD as close to the pump as possible to minimize upstream piping. 2
