F59D Technical Bulletin

To install weights and cable
proceed as follows:

!

CAUTION:  Do not drop
weights.  The weights could
crack causing them to
waterlog.  This would
prevent the switch from
operating automatically and
would require a new weight
kit.

For Plastic Cable

1.

Place the cable eyelet over
the hook on the switch
lever.  Do not crimp or bend
the switch lever hook.

2.

Thread upper weight onto
plastic cable with large hole
down.

3.

Determine upper liquid level
(pump turn-on level) and tie
a knot in the plastic cable to
support weight at the
selected liquid level.  (See
Fig. 3.)

4.

Slide the weight down over
the knot.

5.

Thread lower weight onto
plastic cable.

6.

Determine lower liquid level
(pump turnoff level) and tie
a knot in plastic cable to
support weight at the
selected liquid level.

7.

Slid the weight down over
the knot.

8.

Cut off excess cable below
lower weight after checking
to be sure weights are at
the correct level.  (See
Fig. 2.)

For Wire Cable

1.

Place the cable eyelet over
the hook on the switch
lever.  Do not crimp or bend
the switch lever hook.

2.

Thread upper weight onto
wire cable.

3.

Thread upper weight holder
onto wire cable to support
weight at the selected liquid
level.  (See Fig. 4.)
