Description & Operation

Triumph models have a 2-speed wiper system. The wiper motor drives a gear and cable system to power the wiper arms. A lever on the steering column operates the wipers. When the lever is pulled down, the wipers cycle until it is released. As the lever is pushed up through the 2 detents, the wipers run at low speed and high speed. The button on the end of the lever operates the washer. The washer pump is located beneath the fluid reservoir.
