Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your hoses are clean and dry. Then, place the clip around the hose where you need it. Use a suitable tool to tighten the clip until it's secure but don't over - tighten as it may damage the hose. As for maintenance, since they're made of high - quality stainless steel, they're resistant to corrosion. However, it's a good idea to check them regularly, especially if you're riding in harsh conditions. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's best to replace the clip. Keep in mind that these clips are designed to fit AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so make sure you use them with compatible hoses. Also, remember that the warranty is for 12 months, so if you have any issues within this period, you can get support.
