Cut the fuel hose where you intend to install the EP-60R sensor. Slide
a clamp over the hose coming from the tank, then push the hose onto
the bottom (inlet) hose barb.
Seat the hose flush against the sensor housing, then tighten the hose
clamp. Attach the hose leading to the engine on the top (outlet) barb in

the same way.

Push the fuel line onto the hose barb, then tighten the hose clamp.

Orient the sensor vertically, with the flow arrow pointing up.

NOTE:

You must install an in-line fuel filter between the tank and the EP-

60R sensor. This will prevent a malfunction caused by

contaminated fuel. Debris in unfiltered fuel can clog the sensor's

turbine and result in rough performance or engine shut down.
As with any fuel system, we recommend you always carry onboard

a spare fuel filter and an in-line 3/8" splice barb. This allows you to

remove a clogged EP-60R fuel sensor or fuel filter and restore

engine operation if the fuel filter fails. We strongly recommend that

you inspect your entire fuel system at regular intervals.

Secure the sensor/hose assembly so the sensor remains in a vertical

position with the flow direction up. Clamp the hose on either side of the

sensor to the hull or bulkhead to minimize vibration.
Route the sensor's cable connector to the T on the network backbone

where you intend to attach it, and plug it in. The sensor is ready to use.
