Coolant Change; Radiator And Hoses - Triumph Trophy Handbook

Maintenance and Adjustment
Reconnect the ambient air temperature
sensor connector.
Refit the headlight trim panel, ensuring the
hooks on the panel engage in the slots on the
underside of the headlight.
Tighten the fasteners to 27 lbf-in (3 Nm).
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 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.
