Maintenance and Adjustment

Battery
Tyres that have been used on a rolling
road dynamometer may become
damaged. In some cases, the damage
may not be visible on the external
surface of the tyre. Tyres must be
replaced after such use as continued
use of a damaged tyre may lead to
instability, loss of control and an
accident.
Accurate wheel balance is necessary
for safe, stable handling of the
motorcycle. Do not remove or change
any wheel balance weights. Incorrect
wheel balance may cause instability
leading to loss of control and an
accident.
When wheel balancing is required,
such as after tyre replacement, see
your authorised Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-
on weights may damage the wheel
and tyre resulting in tyre deflation,
loss of control and an accident.
Under some circumstances, the
battery can give off explosive gases;
keep sparks, flames and cigarettes
away. Provide adequate ventilation
when charging or using the battery in
an enclosed space.
The battery contains sulphuric acid
(battery acid). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
If battery acid gets on your skin, flush
with water immediately.
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush
with water for at least 15 minutes and
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large
quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
The battery contains harmful
materials. Always keep children away
from the battery whether or not it is
fitted in the motorcycle.
Do not attach jump leads to the
battery, touch the battery cables
together or reverse the polarity of the
cables as any of these actions may
cause a spark which would ignite
battery gases causing a risk of
personal injury.
