4. Connect the spliced leads to the ”Manual” terminal of the three-way switch.
Important:
Although the switch is submersible, the lead wires must terminate in a
waterproof connection. Mount wires above the highest possible water mark
to prevent electrolysis damage to the boat.
5. With three-way switch on AUTO, test
float switch
by gently raising the
float. Pump should activate with float up, and deactivate with float down.

pump
by ensuring that pump turns on when water level is above float
switch, and shuts off when water level is pumped below float switch. Cycle
the pump with water in the bilge several times to ensure that the system is
functioning properly.
