Maintenance and Adjustment
Remove the cap from the expansion tank
and add coolant mixture through the filler
opening until the level reaches the MAX
mark. Re-install the cap.
Note:
•
If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top off if
necessary.
•
In an emergency, distilled water
can be added to the cooling
system. However, the coolant
must then be drained and
replenished with HD4X
Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as
possible.
Carefully re-install the infill panels, ensuring
the upper infill panel bayonet fastener is
secured to the lower infill panel grommet.
Tighten the fasteners to
44 lb in (5 Nm)
.
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorized
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 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.
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.
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.
