3. Persediaan dan Pemasangan
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your radiator hose. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.
Langkah Keselamatan:
- Ensure the engine is cool before beginning any work on the cooling system.
- Pakai peralatan pelindung diri yang sesuai, termasuk sarung tangan dan pelindung mata.
- Be aware that coolant can be hot and under pressure.
- Lupuskan penyejuk lama secara bertanggungjawab mengikut peraturan tempatan.
Langkah Pemasangan:
- Longkang Penyejuk: Place a suitable drain pan under the radiator and open the drain cock to drain the cooling system.
- Keluarkan Hos Lama: Longgarkan clamps securing the old radiator hose to the radiator and engine. Carefully remove the old hose.
- Periksa Sambungan: Clean the connection points on both the radiator and engine to ensure they are free of debris, corrosion, or old hose residue.
- Pasang Hos Baharu: Position the Continental 62463 Molded Radiator Hose onto the radiator and engine connections. Ensure the hose is fully seated and aligned correctly.
- Cl selamatamps: Install new hose clamps (not included) and tighten them securely. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose.
- Isi Semula Penyejuk: Close the radiator drain cock and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Bleed Air: 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.
- Semak Kebocoran: After the engine has cooled, recheck the coolant level and inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.

4. Pertimbangan Operasi
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.
Operasi Biasa:
- 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. Penyelenggaraan
Regular inspection of your radiator hose is essential for preventing cooling system failures.
Jadual Pemeriksaan:
- 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.
- Pastikan hos clamps are secure and free from corrosion.
Pembersihan:
- Keep the exterior of the hose clean from oil, grease, and other contaminants that can degrade the rubber.
Penggantian:
- 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.
6. Penyelesaian masalah
