- Ohun elo isunmi: Place a suitable drain pan under the radiator and open the drain cock to drain the cooling system.
- Yọ okun atijọ kuro: tú awọn clamps securing the old radiator hose to the radiator and engine. Carefully remove the old hose.
- Ṣayẹwo awọn isopọ: Clean the connection points on both the radiator and engine to ensure they are free of debris, corrosion, or old hose residue.
- Fi Pọ́ọ̀sì Tuntun Sílẹ̀: Position the Continental 62463 Molded Radiator Hose onto the radiator and engine connections. Ensure the hose is fully seated and aligned correctly.
- Ni aabo Clamps: Fi okun tuntun sori ẹrọamps (not included) and tighten them securely. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose.
- Àtúnṣe ìtútù: Close the radiator drain cock and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Afẹfẹ ẹjẹ: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature with the heater on high. Monitor the coolant level and add more as needed to remove any trapped air from the system.
- Ṣayẹwo fun Leaks: After the engine has cooled, recheck the coolant level and inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.

4. Awọn ero ṣiṣe
Once installed, the radiator hose operates as an integral part of the vehicle's cooling system. No specific user operation is required beyond ensuring the cooling system is properly maintained.
Ise deede:
- The hose will convey coolant between the engine and radiator, maintaining optimal engine temperature.
- It is designed to withstand typical engine compartment temperatures and pressures.
5. Itọju
Regular inspection of your radiator hose is essential for preventing cooling system failures.
Eto Ayẹwo:
- Inspect the hose at every oil change or at least twice a year.
- Check for signs of wear, cracks, bulges, or leaks.
- Feel the hose for softness or hardness; a healthy hose should be firm but pliable.

Ninu:
- Keep the exterior of the hose clean from oil, grease, and other contaminants that can degrade the rubber.
Rọpo:
- Replace the hose immediately if any signs of damage or degradation are observed.
- Follow vehicle manufacturer recommendations for cooling system flush and hose replacement intervals.
