COMBO UNIT INSTALLATION
Suggested Materials Needed: Screwdriver, tape measure,
hacksaw, cable ties
1. Drain the sump pit as far as possible without running the
pump dry. Do this by:
Piggyback switch: Unplug the pump and switch from

the outlet, then unplug the pump from the piggyback
switch. Reset the circuit breaker or reinstall the fuse
and plug the pump directly into the outlet. The pump
will start. Drain the pit and unplug the pump. OR
No piggyback switch: Reset the circuit breaker or

reinstall the fuse and use a non-conducting broom
handle or stick to raise the float switch; the pump
should start. Drain the pit and then release the
switch.
When the pit has drained, turn off (open) the circuit

breaker or remove the fuse again to avoid electrical
shock while working on the installation.
Unplug existing sump pump and place power cord and

piggyback switch out of the way of work and water.
2. Measure height of MBSP-3C Combo Kit from base to top of
hose clamp assembly. Subtract 1". Drop the tape measure
into the bottom of sump pit and mark the cut line on the
discharge pipe (1" less than total height of the Combo Kit).
3. Use hacksaw to cut horizontally along cut line completely
through pipe. NOTE: Depending on where your current
check valve is located, there may be excess water. Let the
water drain/drip into the sump pit.
Remove old sump from sump pit. NOTE: Remove all sand,
4.
clay, and gravel before installing.
5. Place Combo Kit into sump pit. Make sure vertical float
switches can operate freely inside sump pit.
