tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, kerosene,paint thinner, or other solvents on
or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual- ly.
CAUTION

blade could result in wiper malfunc-tion and failure.
