Autofloat Switches

• The automatic bilge pump uses electromagnetic an float switch (autofloat) to turn on the pump whenever water
rises above a preset level in the bilge.
• The autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump.
• The autofloat switch is wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely
shut down and left unattended.
Test the autofloat switch often
as follows:
1. Push the float switch test button
up to turn on the bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn on,
check the inline fuse.
• If the fuse is good but the switch
still doesn't work, it may mean
the switch is bad or possibly the
battery is low.
2. Push test button all the way
down to return the float switch
to auto mode.
When the 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!
