WINDSHIELD
 WASHERS 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
 All models
 are
 equipped with electric operated 
windshield washer pumps.  The electric pump assembly
 is
 mounted directly
 to 
the reservoir.
 A
 permanently lubricated sealed motor  is coupled
 to a
 rotor type pump. Fluid, gravity
 fed 
from
 the
 reservoir,
 is
 forced
 by the
 pump through  rubber hoses
 to the
 nozzles which direct
 the
 streams 
to
 the
 windshield.  These vehicles
 are
 equipped with special plastic 
washer nozzles
 (Fig. 1).
 Because they
 are
 inserted
 di
 rectly into
 the
 cowl panel, there
 is no
 adjustment
 re
quired.
