Insulation Sleeve For 5P7360 Tach Generator Now Available {7462}

Usage:

Short lengths of plastic tube are available for use as insulation sleeves around the plug connection for the 5P7360 Tach Generator. With no insulation sleeve in position during engine testing, the plug connection can short out against the vehicle assembly and possibly damage the 5P3600 Hydraulic Flow Meter.

To install the insulation sleeve, slide it over the plug connection as shown in the illustration and heat slowly with a cigarette lighter. The plastic sleeve will now fit evenly around the plug connection.

Order one insulation sleeve for each 5P7360 Tach Generator from:

Flo Tech, Inc.
403 South Washington Blvd.
Mundelein, IL 60060
