WIPER BLADES
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wipers.
Blade inspection
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
or other components, do not attempt
to move the wipers manually.
NOTICE

i
Information
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
CAUTION
Do not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windshield, since it
may chip or crack the windshield.
