Autofloat Switches

Automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float (autofloat) switches to turn On the pump whenever water rises
above a preset level in the bilge. One autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump. Autofloat
switches are wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely shut down and
left unattended.
Test the autofloat switches often as follows:
1. Push float switch test button up to turn
On bilge pump.
If the pump does not turn On, check the
inline fuse. If the fuse is good but the
switch doesn't work, it may indicate a bad
switch or possibly a low battery.
2. Push test button all the way down to
return the float switch to auto mode.
When test is completed on each float switch, you MUST push the test button all the way down to
the auto position to return the switch to auto mode!
