Chapter 6: Plumbing

Autofloat Switches

• The autofloat switches turn the bilge pumps On when water rises above a preset level.
• Test each autofloat switch often.
Autofloat switch testing:
1. Lift the autofloat switch test but-
ton to turn On the bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn On, check
the push-to-reset circuit breaker.
• If the circuit breaker is good, but
the switch still does not work, it
may mean the switch is bad or, the
battery is dead.
2. After testing, push the test button
all the way down to reset auto
mode.
When the test is completed on each float switch, you MUST push the test button ALL THE
WAY DOWN to reset auto mode!
