Battery Charging
For help with selecting a battery
charger, checking the battery Voltage or
battery charging, contact your local
authorised Triumph dealer.
Should the battery Voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery
charger. Always follow the instructions
supplied with the battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond
two weeks) the battery should be
removed from the motorcycle and kept
charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall
to a level where it will not start the
motorcycle, remove the battery from the
motorcycle before charging.
Battery Installation
Place the battery in the battery case.
Reconnect the battery, positive (red)
lead first.
Apply a light coat of grease to the
terminals to prevent corrosion.
Cover the positive terminal with the
protective cap.
Refit the battery strap.
Lower and secure the fuel tank (see
page 98).
The battery gives 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
ATT E N T ION IMM E D IATELY.
KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Make sure that the battery terminals
do not touch the motorcycle frame as
this may cause a short circuit or
spark, which would ignite battery
gases causing a risk of personal
injury.
