Maintenance
120
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.
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.
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.
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.
