Wiper blades
When the wipers no longer clean ade
-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or
other components, do not attempt to
move the wipers manually.
The use of a non-specified wiper blade
could result in wiper malfunction and
failure.
Blade inspection
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto
-
matic vehicle washes have been known
to make the windscreen difficult to
clean. And it is the responsibility of cus
-
tomers to wash and manage the vehicle
with adequate methods and materials.
Contamination of either the windscreen
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windscreen wipers. Common sources of
contamination are insects, tree sap, and
hot wax treatments used by some com
-
mercial vehicle 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.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use petrol, kerosene, paint thin
-
ner, or other solvents on or near them.

-
cedure.
