8.9.3 WIPER AND WIPER CARE

1. Wiper blade attack angle on wind shield glass

should be 90º i.e. perpendicular. Remove

wiper blade and rest wiper arm on wind shield

glass in the centre position. Check the gap

between arm strip and glass. Adjust by twisting

wiper arm.

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 (one drop) hinge joint area in each

vehicle service 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 a mild

detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

To avoid damaging the blades, do not use fuel,

kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents.

When replacing wiper blade assemblies, always

use specified parts or equivalents. To make

replacing the wipers easy, turn the ignition to

ACC, and then turn the wipers on. When the wiper

reaches the vertical position, turn the ignition to

lock.
