Installation and Maintenance Manual for Husky Conventional EZ Lever Nozzles

Quick Guide from the Manual

This document provides essential installation, maintenance, and operation instructions for Husky Conventional EZ Lever Nozzles. These nozzles are designed exclusively for motor fuel dispensing facilities. Always adhere to local, state, and federal regulations. If a drive-off occurs, immediately turn off the dispenser, relieve line pressure, and inspect the spout shear groove, sensing port, and nozzle for leaks or damage before returning to service.

Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the nozzle correctly:

• Turn off the dispenser and relieve line pressure.
• Apply pipe thread sealant approved for gasoline to the male threads of the hose section. Do not use Teflon tape.
• Tighten the nozzle approximately 1 to 2 turns past hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
• Pressurize the system and visually check for leaks.
• Test the nozzle for proper automatic shut-off between 5 - 10 gpm (18.9 - 37.9 Lpm).

Operation Instructions

1. Activate the dispenser.
2. Insert the spout into the fill pipe opening.
3. Lower the hose end of the nozzle so the spout spring catches the inside of the fill pipe.
4. Raise the lever to begin fueling.
5. The nozzle will shut off automatically when the tank is full.
6. Wait 15 seconds for remaining fuel to drain from the spout.
7. Remove the nozzle from the fill pipe by raising the hose end.
8. Return the nozzle to the nozzle boot.

Testing, Maintenance, and Inspection

Regular maintenance is required to ensure safe operation. All activities must be logged using the product's serial number.

• Daily: Check for leaks, stains, loose spouts, damage, bent levers, or broken clip/trigger springs.
• Monthly: Check that the automatic shut-off functions between 5 - 10 gpm (18.9 - 37.9 Lpm) and verify the "remove after" date.
• Annually: Check for electrical conductivity and lubricate the main valve stem.

Spout Replacement

1. Remove the spout lock nut and the old spout.
2. Remove and discard the old spout seal.
3. Place a new spout seal in the groove.
4. Insert the new spout into the body, ensuring the vent tube is correctly positioned in the port.
5. Tighten the spout lock nut firmly (approximately 35 - 60 lbf·ft / 47 - 81 N·m). Do not overtighten.

Guard Replacement

Various guards (Nozzle Guard, Waffle Splash Guard, POPD Guard) can be replaced by following these general steps:

• Turn off the dispenser and relieve line pressure.
• Remove the nozzle from the hose.
• Remove the old guard (cut if necessary).
