Maintenance

 

should

 

consist

 

of

 

inspection

 

to

 

see

 

that

 

the

 

sump

 

float

 

is

 

free

 

to

 

move

 

and

 

not

 

coated

 

with

 

any

 

substance,

 

which

 

would

 

change

 

its

 

weight

 

or

 

volume

 

significantly.

   

If

 

this

 

occurs,

 

the

 

sump

 

float

 

should

 

be

 

cleaned.

  

This

 

is

 

easily

 

accomplished

 

without

 

disturbing

 

the

 

installation.

  

Dents

 

or

 

nicks

 

on

 

the

 

float

 

are

 

usually

 

of

 

no

 

consequence

 

to

 

operation.

  

Cleaning

 

procedure:

 

1.

 

Power:

   

Make

 

sure

 

that

 

all

 

power

 

to

 

the

 

sump

 

float,

 

controller

 

and/or

 

power

 

supply

 

is

 

completely

 

disconnected.

 

2.

 

Float

 

removal:

necessary,

 

make

 

sure

 

that

tank

 

is

 

drained

 

well

 

below

 

the

 

float

 

prior

 

to

 

removal.

 

Carefully,

 

remove

 

the

 

float

 

from

 

the

 

installation.

   

3.

 

Cleaning

 

the

 

float:

  

Using

 

a

 

soft

 

bristle

 

brush

 

and

 

mild

 

detergent,

 

carefully

 

wash

 

the

 

switch.

  

Do

 

not

 

use

 

harsh

 

abrasives

 

such

 

as

 

steel

 

wool

 

or

 

sandpaper,

 

which

 

might

 

damage

 

the

 

surface

 

of

 

the

 

sensor.

  

Do

 

not

 

use

 

incompatible

 

solvents,

 

which

 

may

 

damage

 

the

 

sensor's

 

PP

 

body

 

or

 

PVC

 

cable.

  

Take

 

particular

 

care

 

to

 

remove

 

any

 

scaling

 

from

 

the

 

float

 

body

 

and

 

make

 

sure

 

that

 

it

 

is

 

free

 

to

 

move.
