Autofloat Switch
•
The automatic bilge pump uses a float (autofloat) switch to automatically turn On the pump whenever water rises
to a preset level in the bilge.
•
The autofloat switch is normally mounted next to the bilge pump it controls.
•
The autofloat switch should be tested often as follows.
Autofloat testing:
1. Lift the float switch test button
up to turn On the bilge pump.
•
If the pump does not turn On,
check the fuse on the fuse block.
•
If the fuse is good but the switch
still doesn’t work, it may mean
the switch is bad or possibly the
battery is low.
2. After testing, push the test but-
ton all the way down to return
the float switch to auto mode.
