Troubleshooting
NEVER apply direct heat to the float.
The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents
leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment.
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has
cooled to room temperature.
Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead
to discharge of fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage.
When the product fails to operate properly, use the following table to locate the cause
