Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your radiator hoses are clean and dry. Then, place the clip around the hose where you need it. Use a suitable tool to tighten the clip securely, but don't over - tighten as it might damage the hose. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the clips for any signs of rust or damage, especially if you ride in harsh or corrosive environments. If you notice any issues, replace the clip right away. Keep them in a dry place when not in use. And remember, these clips are designed for AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so use them only with compatible hoses for the best results.
