Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your hoses are clean and dry. Then, simply place the clip around the hose where you need it and tighten it properly. When installing, don't over - tighten as it might damage the hose. These clips are made for long - term use, but it's a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice any issues, you can use the 12 - month warranty to get a replacement. To keep them in great condition, you can clean them with a mild soap and water solution and dry them thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the polished finish. Remember, these clips are designed for specific KTM models (2016 - 2018 KTM 125 SX and 2016 - 2018 KTM 150 SX), so make sure to use them on the right vehicles.
