- Designed for full flow through tight bends.
- Relieves stress on radiator connections.
- EPDM construction with synthetic knit reinforcement.
- Resistant to Electrochemical Degradation (ECR).
- Meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications.
パッケージ内容:
- One Continental 62463 Molded Radiator Hose.
3. セットアップとインストール
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your radiator hose. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.
安全上の注意:
- 冷却システムでの作業を始める前に、エンジンが冷えていることを確認してください。
- 手袋や目の保護具などの適切な個人用保護具を着用してください。
- Be aware that coolant can be hot and under pressure.
- 古い冷却剤は地方自治体の規制に従って責任を持って廃棄してください。
インストール手順:
- 冷却液を排出する: Place a suitable drain pan under the radiator and open the drain cock to drain the cooling system.
- 古いホースを取り外す: 締め付けを緩めるamps securing the old radiator hose to the radiator and engine. Carefully remove the old hose.
- 接続を検査する: Clean the connection points on both the radiator and engine to ensure they are free of debris, corrosion, or old hose residue.
- 新しいホースを取り付ける: Position the Continental 62463 Molded Radiator Hose onto the radiator and engine connections. Ensure the hose is fully seated and aligned correctly.
- セキュア Clamps: 新しいホースを取り付けるamps (not included) and tighten them securely. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose.
- 冷却剤の補充: Close the radiator drain cock and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
- ブリードエア： 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.
- 漏れがないか確認する: After the engine has cooled, recheck the coolant level and inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.

4. 運用上の考慮事項
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.
通常操作:
- 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. メンテナンス
Regular inspection of your radiator hose is essential for preventing cooling system failures.
検査スケジュール:
- 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.
- ホースが確実に閉まっていることを確認するamps are secure and free from corrosion.
クリーニング：
- Keep the exterior of the hose clean from oil, grease, and other contaminants that can degrade the rubber.
交換：
- 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。 トラブルシューティング
This section addresses common issues related to radiator hoses.
一般的な問題と解決策:
| 問題 | 考えられる原因 | 解決 |
|---|---|---|
| クーラント漏れ | 緩いclamps, damaged hose, cracked radiator/engine connection. | 締めるまたは交換するamps. Inspect and replace hose if damaged. Check radiator/engine connections. |
| ホースの膨張/膨らみ | Internal damage, excessive pressure, coolant contamination. | Replace hose immediately. Check cooling system for proper pressure and coolant quality. |
| Hose Hardening/Cracking | 経年劣化、熱暴露、化学的劣化。 | Replace hose. This is a sign of normal wear and tear or Electrochemical Degradation (ECR). |
