Page 53
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorised
Triumph dealer
in accordance with
scheduled maintenance requirements.
Radiator 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.
CAUTION: A year-round type
of antifreeze is installed in the
cooling system when the motorcycle
leaves the factory. It is coloured blue,
contains a 50% solution of ethylene
glycol, and has a freezing point of
--35
_
C (--31
_
F).
Radiator and Cooling Fan
Check the radiator fins for obstructions by
insects, leaves or mud. Clean off any
obstructions with a stream of low--pressure
water.
WARNING: The cooling fan
operates automatically, even
with the ignition switch off. Always
keep hands and clothing away from
the fan. Contact with the rotating fan
can cause injury.
CAUTION:
Using
high
pressure water, such as from
a car wash facility, can damage the
radiator fins and impair the radiator’s
efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorised accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan. Interference with the
radiator
airflow
can
cause
overheating, resulting in engine
damage.
