Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your radiator hose is clean and dry. Then, place the clip around the hose where it needs to be attached and tighten it securely. When installing, ensure the clip is evenly placed to provide the best seal. As for maintenance, since they're made of high - quality stainless steel, they can withstand various conditions. But it's still a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear or loosening, especially after long - term use or exposure to harsh environments. If you notice any issues, you can rely on the 12 - month warranty provided. Remember, these clips are designed for specific KTM models from 2003 to 2007, so make sure your vehicle is compatible before using them.
