Checking the bilge pump and strainer for clogging debris:
1. Disconnect power to the pump.
2. While pressing the locking tab on the base
strainer, twist the pump housing counter-clock-
wise and remove it.
3. Press the motor catridge locking tab and twist
the motor cartridge counter-clockwise and
remove it also.
4. Remove any debris and make sure the impeller
is firmly attached to the shaft and is not cracked
or broken.
5. Coat the O-ring on the motor cartridge with
vegetable oil (petroleum-based oils will cause
deterioration).
6. Insert the cartridge back into the housing and
twist it clockwise until you hear the locking tab snap into the housing slot.
7. Insert the pump housing into the base strainer, and twist the housing clockwise until it stops and you hear the
locking tab snap in.
Autofloat Switch Testing & Maintenance
1. Confirm that the bilge pump works properly by following the instructions at the top of the page.
2. Twist the float switch test knob counter-clockwise.
 If the pump turns On, move on to steps 3 and 4.
 If the pump does not turn On, check the fuse on the fuse block.
 If the fuse is good, but the switch still does not work. Contact your
selling dealer for help in diagnosing the problem.
3. Periodically remove the cover and clear away any debris that has
accumulated around and under the float, around the float arms, and
in the strainer slots.
4. Periodically check the electrical connections to ensure that they are
waterproof and mounted high and dry.
