Cooling System
To ensure efficient engine cooling, check
the coolant level each day before riding
the motorcycle, and top off the coolant
if the level is low.
Note
The motorcycle is equipped with D2053
coolant, a year round, Organic Additive
Technology (known as OAT) coolant
when it leaves the factory. It is colored
orange, and contains a 50% solution of
monoethylene glycol based antifreeze.
D2053 coolant, as supplied by Triumph,
provides freeze protection to -40°C
(-40°F).
Corrosion Inhibitors
Warning
D2053 OAT coolant contains corrosion
inhibitors and antifreeze suitable
for aluminum engines and radiators.
Always use the coolant in accordance
with the instructions of the
manufacturer.
Coolant contains toxic chemicals that
are harmful to the human body.
Contact with skin or eyes may cause
severe irritation. Wear protective
gloves, clothing and eye protection
when handling coolant.
Warning
Continued
If coolant is inhaled, remove the
person to fresh air and keep
comfortable for breathing. In case of
doubt or persistent symptoms, seek
medical attention.
If coolant gets on your skin, flush
with water immediately. Remove
contaminated clothing.
If coolant gets in your eyes, flush with
water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
If coolant is swallowed, rinse the
mouth with water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP COOLANT OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Note
D2053 OAT coolant, as supplied by
Triumph, is premixed and does not need
to be diluted prior to filling or topping
off the cooling system.
To protect the cooling system from
corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential.
If coolant containing a corrosion
inhibitor is not used, the cooling system
will accumulate rust and scale in the
water jacket and radiator. This will block
the coolant passages, and considerably
reduce the efficiency of the cooling
system.
