3. Maklumat Keselamatan

  • Always allow the engine to cool completely before working on the cooling system to prevent burns from hot coolant or steam.
  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling coolant and automotive components.
  • Coolant is toxic. Avoid skin contact and ingestion. Dispose of used coolant responsibly according to local regulations.
  • Pastikan kenderaan disokong dengan kukuh pada penyangga bicu jika perlu mengangkat.
  • Rujuk manual servis kenderaan anda untuk arahan khusus dan spesifikasi tork.

4. Pemasangan

Installation of a radiator hose typically involves draining the cooling system, removing the old hose, installing the new hose, and refilling the system. If you are not experienced with automotive repairs, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.

Langkah Pemasangan Umum:

  1. Penyediaan: Park the vehicle on a level surface and allow the engine to cool. Place a drain pan under the radiator draincock.
  2. Longkang Penyejuk: Open the radiator draincock and remove the radiator cap to allow the coolant to drain completely.
  3. Keluarkan Hos Lama: Longgarkan hos clamps di kedua-dua hujung hos radiator lama. Putar dan tarik hos lama dari sambungan radiator dan enjin dengan berhati-hati. Bersedialah untuk baki penyejuk.
  4. Periksa Sambungan: Clean the connection points on the radiator and engine to remove any debris or corrosion.
  5. Pasang Hos Baharu: Luncurkan penutup hos baharuamps onto the new Continental 66844 hose. Position the new hose onto the radiator and engine connections, ensuring it is fully seated and properly aligned.
  6. Cl selamatamps: Ketatkan penutup hosamps securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the hose.
  7. Isi Semula Penyejuk: Close the radiator draincock. Refill the cooling system with the manufacturer-recommended coolant mixture.
  8. Bleed Air: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature with the heater on full. Monitor the coolant level and add more as needed to purge air from the system. Replace the radiator cap once the system is full and air-free.
  9. Periksa Kebocoran: After the engine has cooled, re-check the coolant level and inspect all connections for leaks.

5. Fungsi dan Penggunaan

The Continental 66844 Molded Radiator Hose serves as a critical conduit within the vehicle's cooling system. Its primary function is to transport heated coolant from the engine to the radiator for cooling, and then return the cooled fluid to the engine. The molded design ensures a precise fit, preventing kinks and maintaining optimal flow rates. This hose is designed for use with standard automotive coolants and is not suitable for fuel or oil transfer applications.

6. Penyelenggaraan

Regular inspection of your radiator hose is crucial for preventing cooling system failures. Perform visual checks periodically, especially during routine oil changes or other under-hood inspections.

Titik Pemeriksaan:

  • Cracks and Fissures: Look for any visible cracks, especially near the ends or bends of the hose.
  • Pengerasan atau Pelembutan: Squeeze the hose. It should feel firm but pliable. A hose that is excessively hard, brittle, or mushy indicates degradation and requires replacement.
  • Benjolan atau Bengkak: Any localized bulges or swelling can indicate internal damage or weakening of the hose structure.
  • Kebocoran: Check for any signs of coolant leakage around the hose clamps or along the hose body. White or colored residue can indicate dried coolant.
  • Selang Clamps: Pastikan hos clamps adalah ketat dan bebas daripada kakisan.

Replace the hose immediately if any signs of wear or damage are observed to prevent potential engine overheating and damage.
