Autofloat Switches

The autofloat switches turn the bilge pumps On when water rises above a preset level.

Test each autofloat switch often.

Autofloat switch testing:

1. Lift the autofloat switch test but-

ton to turn On the bilge pump.

If the pump does not turn On, check 
the push-to-reset circuit breaker.

If the circuit breaker is good, but 
the switch still does not work, it 
may mean the switch is bad, or the 
battery is dead.

2. After testing, push the test button 

all the way down to reset auto 
mode.

PUSH TEST BUTTON DOWN
