WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
using special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge
is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is
advisable to replace them approximately
once a year.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
WARNING
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 a de-
icing product to release it if
required;
– remove any snow from the glass:
in addition to protecting the
blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and over-heating;
– do not operate the windscreen
wipers on dry glass.Replacing blades
1) raise the windscreen wiper arm
A-fig. 161 and position the blade
so that it forms an angle of 90°
with the arm;
2) push the wiper downwards
releasing it from arm A;
3) fit the new blade, inserting the tab
in the special housing in the arm.
Make sure that it is properly
locked into place.
