Maintenance and Adjustment

Radiator and Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and hose clips for damage
in accordance with
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorised 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,
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
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
overheating, potentially resulting in
engine damage.
