The standard factory pre-set parking position for the AFI 2.5 is to the left. (Park position is
dened with the motor mounted at the bottom of the windshield and with the motor shaft
facing towards you.)

Mount in g Pre ca ut io ns
1. Mount wiper motor on a at surface.
2. For optimum performance, keep the wiper shaft 90° to the windshield.
3. Blade and arm should be installed approximately 1” (25.4mm) minimum away from wind-
shield molding. Energize the motor for short intervals to make certain the wiper blade does not
strike at either end of the wiping arc. If blade strikes at both ends, it will be necessary to shorten
the arm and blade length and/or reduce the sweep angle.

3. Lift and remove the transmission plate. Be careful not to loose the white plastic cap on the
transmission pin (if the white plastic cap is missing, check the inside of the cover as grease may
have caused it to stick to the inside of the cover during its removal).
4. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the four sweep angle plate screws attaching the
sweep angle plate to the white cog wheel. Underneath the sweep angle plate, there are two
oblong holes in the white cog wheel positioned 180° apart.
5. If you want to change the “parking position”, rotate the sweep angle plate so the current
sweep angle hole is over the opposite oblong hole in the white cog wheel. Re-attach the sweep
angle plate to the white cog wheel with the four sweep angle screws. Then place the transmis-
sion pin into the opposite oblong hole.
6. If you want to change the “wiping angle”, rotate the sweep angle plate so that the hole
marked with the desired sweep angle is over the current oblong hole in the white cog wheel.
Re-attach the sweep angle plate to the white cog wheel with the four sweep angle screws.
Then place the transmission pin into the new sweep angle hole.
7. Re-install the transmission plate and “U” clip (if necessary, rotate the knurled nut at the end
of the wiper motor shaft in order to get the transmission plate to insert properly again at both
ends). Make sure the transmission plate is properly seated all the way down at both ends and
that the “U” clip snaps properly into place so that it does not come o during normal operation
of the motor.
8. If much of lubricating grease is removed during the “parking position” or “wiping angle”
adjustment process, replenish some.
9. Re-install the wiper motor cover taking care to snug the six cover screws without over-
tightening. Be sure to tighten screws evenly around cover and that the sealing o-rings around
the screws and wiper motor base are still seated properly in place. The gap between the cover
and base should be even all around.
10. After remounting wiper motor on the windshield, turn on motor and observe operation
prior to reinstalling wiper arm. Verify that the wiper rotates through the correct number of
degrees and parks in the correct position prior to installation of wiper blade. Failure to do this
could cause damage to the wiper motor.
