Maintenance and Adjustment
Note:
• If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top up if
necessary.
• In an emergency, distilled water
can be added to the cooling
system. However, the coolant
must then be drained and
replenished with H4DX Hybrid
OAT coolant as soon as possible.
Refit the intake cover as follows: Align the
cover to the centre and rear supports and
ease it into place. Fit and tighten the fixing to
9 Nm .
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorised
Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Radiator and Hoses
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and hose clips for tightness in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Have your authorised Triumph
dealer replace any defective items.
1. Radiator grille
2. Radiator fins
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Clean
off any obstructions with a stream of
low-pressure water.
Caution
If hard water is used in the cooling system,
it will cause scale accumulation in the
engine and radiator and considerably
reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency may
cause the engine to overheat and suffer
severe damage.
Warning
The fan operates automatically when the
engine is running. Always keep hands and
clothing away from the fan as contact with
the rotating fan can cause injury.
