1. Storage Environment
During storage, automotive silicone hoses require careful attention to the environment. Each package should contain silicone hoses of the same brand and type to avoid mixing hoses from different manufacturers, models, and specifications.
2. Usage Instructions
Before using the silicone hose, check its appearance for damage, deformation, or aging. If any of these conditions are found, discontinue use. When connecting the silicone hose, avoid excessive stretching or pressure. Ensure end-users are aware of the hose's condition to prevent performance degradation and potential leaks.
3. Cleaning Method
Automotive silicone hoses should be cleaned immediately after use. Use a cleaning agent; avoid strong acids and alkalis. Also, avoid using copper or iron tools for cleaning, as these can react chemically with the silicone and shorten the hose's lifespan.
4. Maintenance Method
Maintenance of automotive silicone hoses requires regular checks of their sealing, elasticity, and pressure resistance. Replace the silicone hose immediately if any abnormalities are found.
