Here is a utube video of a continuous ink system being fitted to the model indicated. His spoken English is heavily accented but he covers all the important points.

I would have given the ink tubes a bit more slack to make sure they didn't fatigue when the cartridge head was in the extreme right position. I like how he used the cleaning cycle to prime the inks through to the print head. Wished I had done that.

I use a wooden block cut to size to keep the lid open the right amount. One day I will paint it black to make it look as if its part of the machine. A solid piece of wood is much better than a plastic clip at keeping the lid opened by the right amount.

I keep the ink reservoir in a plastic container clamped in place... just in case. Its important to keep the reservoir at the same level as the printer.

/edit ps: one last point. See where he puts in the extra washers (supplied in the kit) at the beginning saying that they are not really needed these days? I would put them in. They stay there forever and are an extra level of safety against ink spillage. I use a different supplier, but the set up is exactly the same, and I have the washers in place.
