Cut 106A, Model F GASO, is a hand operated 10-gallon Visible Unit, and can be installed on any underground storage tank on which a suction pump is used, or can be installed with any new hand pump installation. It is operated by means of a hand lever forward and backward motion, such as is used on this type of equipment.

Cut 106A is furnished complete with all mechanism from the ground up, including wet and dry hose, unions for connecting to installation piping and also check valve at the base of the pump. It is fitted with double action plunger-type piston pump that will raise 10 gallons into the bowl easily in 40 seconds. The pump requires no priming, has self closing valves, is easily operated and is locked at night by removing the handle therefrom. Any lighting extra.

Quantity markers for gallons and half gallons are placed inside on opposite sides of the bowl. Said markers are fit in such manner that they touch the glass. This insures accurate reading. The markers or gallon indicators are made and calibrated for each bowl and permanently set, tested and sealed in the factory, and when once made and installed, any after adjustment is eliminated, if the pump remains level.

Gasoline is dispensed through the automatic self-closing hose nozzle, especially designed for this type of equipment. The rate of dispensing is approximately 10 gallons in 40 seconds.

The pump may be installed any reasonable distance from the storage tank. Installations are made in accordance with any of the four designs shown, or to meet any other requirement desired.

This pump is operated by a forward and backward movement of the lever, pumping gasoline into the bowl up to the overflow. When pumping is stopped the level of gasoline returns to the zero mark ready to be drawn out. The bowl is drained at night by means of a positive quick-opening valve which completely drains the 10 gallons in approximately 20 seconds. To open the drain valve, completely shut the door, and to shut the drain valve, completely open the door.
