®Instructions for “Safe-T-Switch SS1 Directional Cleanout Tool”
1. Remove SS1 Cup/Float subassembly from SS1 body (i.e. the Tee).
2. Clear debris or any other obstacles inside SS1 body.
3. Route the Cleanout Tool into SS1 body. Either upstream or downstream depending on where
blockage is. Insert the rubber nozzle portion into the 3/4" pipe glued to SS1 body on the
blockage side.
4. Attach a pressurizing (or vacuuming) device (such as RectorSeal Might Pump) to Cleanout Tool’s
rigid plastic opening. Pump or vacuum until the blockage is cleared.
5. Disconnect the pressurizing (or vacuuming) device from Cleanout Tool.
6. Remove Cleanout Tool and hang it outside of the SS1 body.
7. Insert SS1 Cup/Float subassembly into SS1 body. Test SS1 function.®

6. For inline installation, glue ¾” outlet of Tee onto drain line.
7. Wire switch according to instructions under Wiring, below.
8. Test all drain and fitting connections for plumbing leaks.
9. Test switch sensitivity: plug drain downstream from installation point and run unit to fill pan. Float should
rise and unit should stop before pan
overflows. If pan overflows, reposition float lower by either:
A. plumbing entire assembly lower, or
B. turning switch assembly counter-clockwise /” away from cap/plug, so that it stops unit sooner in response to rising water.
10. Ax warning sticker to air handler or condenser unit.

1. WARNING: Disconnect power to unit at main panel prior to performing electrical work.
2. If not present, it is recommended that an inline fuse be installed to protect 24-volt circuit and time
delay to avoid rapid cycling of equipment.
3. Locate 24-volt thermostat cable entering the air handler unit.
4. Disconnect or cut the red wire and connect to switch lead using wire nut. Connect other switch lead
to air handler terminal. Incorporating switch in red circuit shuts down entire unit. If placed in the
yellow circuit, fan continues to run (inhibits mold during long absences.)
5. Test switch by liting float while unit is running. If wired correctly, unit will stop when float is lited.
