When my airplex evo 360 arrived today I found that both the inlet and outlet tube was bent so tightly towards the radiator edge that it was impossibly to screw down the hose connectors.
I suppose it would be easy to adjust this by a firm twist from a polygrip plier.... but would this void the guarantee?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

bend it back VERY carefully.

don't use a tool. only with your hand. (language question: "just with your hand" or "only with your hand"??)

good luck

@ hobbes_dmS

Your second suggestion was the right one.

Arbeiten am Mac ist natürlich keine Arbeit, sondern sinnvoll gestaltetes Glück.

Worked smoothly..

congratulations. you lost all your guarantee. ;D (just joking)

when you bend it slightly, it's no problem with the guarantee or waranty. it won't be void.

yeah... but if you´re some kind of king-kong impersonator and rip off the tubing right out the radiator, then you should start worrying about warranty...
just a litte ;D
