OFF~ON
The single-speed (or optional two-speed) parallel
acting wipers are operated by means of the wiper con
trol knob on the dash. Turning this knob clockwise turns
on the
wiper motor. The optional two-speed wipers have
three switch positions, "Off," "Low" and "High." A
fully counterclockwise turn of the knob turns off the
wiper.
Exposure
to the "elements" tends to "wear out" the
rubber in the wiper blades. Check the blades periodically
and replace them whenever they show signs of streaky
or otherwise poor wiping action.
Pressing once on the accessory windshield washer
button will cause the washer to squirt a measured amount
of water or other cleaning agent onto the glass and will
at the same time turn on the wiper. The wiper must
then
be manually turned off, when the washing process
13
is completed, by means of the wiper control knob.
Water or cleaning agent needed for operation of
the accessory windshield washers is carried in a plastic
water jar attached to the dash panel within the luggage
compartment. Keep the washer jar filled to a level
2 inches below the top of the jar with a suitable solvent.
Windshield Washer Anti-Freeze and Solvent, G. M. Part
No. 1050001, is recommended for use in the Corvair
windshield washer jar. In the winter, fill the washer
jar only 3,4 full to allow for expansion if the solution
freezes. In freezing weather, pre-warm the windshield
using the heater defrosters before using the washers.
