Generators for use with Escape® Electric Truck Mount
Mytee Products recommends the use of a 10,000- ‐watt generator with
this unit. This will supply ample power for the ETM.
However, the Escape can be run on some 8,000- ‐watt generators, de-
pending on the manufacturer. Generators are rated differently, so if
using 8,000- ‐watt generator the rating must represent continuous running
and the 13/16” socket on the inside nut of the float switch. Loosen the float
by rotating the ratchet counter clockwise until completely loose. Make sure
not to lose any nuts or rubber washers in case they are needed in the
future.

Sump Pump Switch Maintenance and Replacement
Cleaning and maintaining float switches will help to
extend the life your machine. Regular cleaning is
required for proper functionality. To clean the sump
level switch:

pump float switch will be located on the inside wall of the tank almost at
the bottom.
3. Once located, reach in and hold the float switch finger all the way to one
side by pushing on the opposite side.
4. Using your other hand, or finger, roll the clip off of its tabs by pulling on
the bottom of the opposite tab from which you are pushing. It should not
take a lot of pressure to remove the switch, so be careful not to break it.
