RUBBER HOSES
Carefully follow the information contai-
ned in the “Service schedule” in this sec-
tion for maintenance of brake system and
fuel feed rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause har-
dening and cracking of the hoses, with
possible leaks. Careful inspections are the-
refore necessary.

BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In all cases, it is advi-
sable to replace them approximately on-
ce a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
❒
make sure that the rubber part is not
stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero
temperatures. Use an antifreeze pro-
duct to release it if required;
❒
remove the snow from the window:
this will avoid overstressing the elec-
trical motor and causing it to overheat
in addition to protecting the blades;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper bla-
des is a serious hazard, be-
cause visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
Replacing the windscreen wiper
blades fig. 16
Proceed as follows:
❒
lift the arm A of the wiper and posi-
tion the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm itself;
❒
press the tab B on the clip and extract
the blade from the arm A;
❒
fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the specific set on the arm. Make su-
re that it is locked.
