kept.
• Use barrier creams, applying before each
work period to protect the skin from the
effects of oil and grease and to aid removal of
the same after completing work.
• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will
help). Preparations containing lanolin replace
the natural skin oils which have been
removed.
• Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas
oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical
advice without delay.
• Where practicable, de-grease components
prior to handling.

General Information

Brakes

A
Warning
Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb
moisture from the air. Any absorbed moisture will
greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid
causing a reduction in braking efficiency.
Replace brake fluid in line with the routine maintenance
schedule. A dangerous riding condition could result if
this important maintenance item is neglected!
Do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork
as this will damage any painted or plastic surface.
Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and
never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one
that has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands of fluid. Check for fluid
leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Check regularly for brake hose damage.

If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the
fluid in either brake fluid reservoir, consult your
authorised Triumph dealer for advice before riding.
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or
if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may
be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such
conditions and remedial action must be taken by your
authorised Triumph dealer before riding the motorcycle.
Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking
