Autofloat Switches; Freshwater System (Lx Models Only) - Bayliner Ciera 2455 Sunbridge Owner's Manual

Autofloat Switches

Automatic bilge pumps use electromagnetic float (autofloat) switches to automatically activate the pump whenever
water accumulates above a preset level in the bilge. One autofloat switch is mounted next to the bilge pump it acti-
vates, and is wired directly to the battery so it will normally function even when the boat is completely shut down and
left unattended.
Autofloat switches should be tested often for proper operation as follows:
Float Switch Test:
1. Push the float switch test button up to
activate the 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 indi-
cate a bad switch or possibly a low
battery.
2. Push the test button all the way down to
return the float switch back into the
auto mode.
When test is completed on a float switch, you must push the test button all the way down to the
auto position to turn the switch back into auto mode!

Your boat may be equipped with a pressure-demand
(potable) freshwater system. These pressure
type(demand) systems operate when the water pump
switch (located below the galley sink, see photo on right)
is in the ON position.
• The water pump's DC breaker must be turned ON to
use freshwater.
• The water pump's DC breaker should be turned OFF
when any of the following occurs:
3
When the boat is not in use.
3
Whenever the water tank is empty.
• The water tank fill fitting is located on the transom, outboard of the
entry gate (see illustration on right).
• When your boat is to be left unattended for long periods of time,
pump the water tank dry to prevent stored water from becoming stag-
nant and distasteful. Should it become necessary to disinfect the
freshwater system, ask your dealer about treatments available for
your boat's system.
• The water filter, located in the bilge on the water pump, should be
inspected and cleaned often.
• The water tank is located on the starboard side of the bilge.
