Is there a pin that holds the float? I thinks that's what they are referring to

There is no visible pin and the float is movable. It was packed for shipment in a tube with foam rings to hold it safely.
I think the warning sticker is bogus. |

Your probably right, but did you check behind the sticker? Shipping rods and pins are very common, especially with washing machines.

Looks like there is a dimple in the center of the sticker.
