Radiator and Hoses
Warning
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan may
cause an accident and/or personal
injury.
Caution
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow
can cause overheating, potentially
resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks
or deterioration, and tension clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorized Triumph dealer replace any
defective items.
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or
mud. Clean off any obstructions with a
stream of low pressure water.
