Push the fuel line onto the hose barb, then tighten the hose clamp.
Orient the sensor vertically with the flow arrow pointing up.
WARNING:
You must install an in-line fuel filter or fuel water separator
between the tank and the EP-10 sensor. This will prevent a
malfunction
unfiltered fuel can clog the sensor's turbine and result in
rough performance or engine shut down.
Caution:
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-10 fuel sensor or fuel filter
and restore engine operation if the fuel filter fails. It is 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.
