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.
