- Attach cord, using a cable tie, to any convenient rigid surface as illustrated. This is known as the tether point. Do not tighten until both turn-on and turn-off levels are established.
(See Fig. 1)
- To adjust greater distance between turn-on and turn-off, increase cord length between tether point and float. For less distance between turn-on and turn-off decrease cord
- Make sure the float is at least 2 inches above pump base, in the turn-off position, before tightening cable tie at the tether point.
- Plug piggy-back switch cord (Currant Tap) into grounded outlet, then plug into piggy-back switch cord, and check for proper operation.

(See Fig. 2)
- To adjust for greater distance between turn-on and turn-off; Increase cord length between tether point and float. For less distance between turn-on and turn-off, decrease cord length.
(See Charts; Fig. 3 & 4)
