Autofloat Switches
• The automatic bilge pumps use float (autofloat) switches to automatically turn On the pumps whenever water
rises to a preset level in the bilge.
• The autofloat switches are normally mounted next to the bilge pumps they control.
• The autofloat switches should be tested often as follows.
Autofloat testing:
1. Lift the float switch test button
up to turn On the bilge pump.
• If the pump does not turn On,
check the fuse on the fuse block.
• 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. After testing, push the test but-
ton all the way down to return
the float switch to auto mode.
