Option 2 - Guide rail mounted foul pump
1. Pull the float cable through the float weight.
2. Using a cable tie, secure the float weight to the float cable so there is 80mm of float cable between the
top of the float switch and the bottom of the float weight.
3. Drill a hole through the float bracket. Hang the pendant float from the float bracket so the bottom of the
float switch hangs approximately 400mm from the base of the chamber. Once the pendant float is at the
correct height, secure the float cable to the float bracket using a cable tie.
