Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during engine
disassembly and assembly. Protect the hands with
industrial quality gloves when lifting the engine or
turning it over.
When replacement parts are required, it is essential
that only genuine Triumph parts are used.
Safety features and corrosion prevention treatments
embodied in the motorcycle may be impaired if other
than genuine Triumph parts are fitted. In certain
territories, legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to
the manufacturer's specification.
Tightening procedure
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts,
nuts or screws, they should all be started in their holes
and tightened to a snug fit, evenly and in a cross
pattern. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or
causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely, bolts, nuts, or
screws, should all be loosened (in sequence if
specified) by about a quarter of turn and then
removed.
Where there is a tightening sequence specified in this
Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be
tightened in the order and by the method indicated.
Torque wrench setting figures given in this Manual
must be observed. The torque tools used must be of
accurate calibration.
Locking devices, where specified, must be fitted. If the
efficiency of a locking device is impaired during
removal it must be renewed. This applies particularly
to micro-encapsulated fixings which must always be
replaced if disturbed. Where necessary, the text in this
manual will indicate where such a fixing is used.
