Frequently inspect the area under the float switches
to ensure they are free from debris and gummy bilge
oil. To clean, soak in heavy duty bilge cleaner for
10 minutes, agitating several times. Check for

cleaning procedure if necessary.
Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep them
free of dirt or material which may impede the
flow of water through the pump. To clean the
pump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides
of the pump and lift the pump motor.
