Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your radiator hose is clean and free of any debris. Then, place the clip around the hose where it needs to be secured. Tighten the clip properly to ensure a good seal. When it comes to maintenance, since these clips are made of 18/8 marine - grade stainless steel, they're resistant to corrosion. But it's still a good idea to check them regularly, especially if you use your bike in harsh conditions. Look for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything wrong, replace the clip right away. And remember, these clips come with a 12 - month warranty, so if you have any issues, you're covered.
