MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
187
NOTICE
Do not cover the headlight or lens
with any item likely to obstruct air
flow to, or prevent heat escaping from,
the headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing,
luggage, adhesive tape, devices
intended to alter or adjust the
headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is not
considered a manufacturing defect
and will not be covered under
warranty.
If the headlight must be covered
during use - such as taping of the
headlight lens required during
closed‑course conditions - the
headlight must be disconnected.
NOTICE
The use of non-approved headlight
units may result in damage to the
headlight unit and/or motorcycle.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied
headlight unit as specified in the
Triumph Parts Catalogue.
Always have replacement headlight
units installed by a competent person
with the specialist knowledge and
technical understanding of
motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
