WIPER CARE

1. Wiper blade attack angle on windshield glass

should be 90 °C i. e. perpendicular.

Remove wiper and set wiper arm on windshield

glass in the centre position, check the gap

between arm strip and glass.

Adjust by twisting wiper arm strip as shown in the

figure.

2. Straighten the secondary lever & yoke, if found

twisted.

Slide the flexer inside the rubber, if found

protruding out and crimp the claw to avoid it from

coming out again.

3. Lubricate hinge joint area with oil, once a month

to achieve proper arm pressure.

4. Check the wiper blades at least twice a year or

when they seem less effective. Substances such

as tree sap and some hot wax treatments used

by commercial car washes reduce the

effectiveness of wiper blades.

5. If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both

the windshield and wiper blades using undiluted

windshield wiper solution or amild detergent. Rinse

thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging

the blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner,

or other solvents.

6. When replacing wiper blade assemblies, always

use specified parts or equivalents. To make

replacing the wipers easy, turn the ignition toACC,

and then turn the wipers on. When the wiper

reaches the vertical position, turn the ignition to

LOCK.
