Maintenance and Adjustment Radiator and Hoses
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 H4DX Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as possible.
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.

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. Install the intake cover as follows: Align the cover to the center and rear supports and ease it into place. Install and tighten the fastener to 80 lbf in (9 Nm).
Coolant Change Have the coolant changed by an authorized Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.
