WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The single speed (or optional two-speed) parallel
acting wipers are operated by means of the wiper con-
trol knob on the dash. Turning wiper control knob clock-
wise will start 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 either 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
m"
e asured amount
of water or other cleaning agent onto the glass and will
at the same time turn on the wiper motor. The wiper must
then be manually turned off, when the washing process
is completed, by means of the
wiper"
contral knob.
Wbter or cleaning agent needed for operation of
the accessory windshield washers is carried in a plastic
water bag under the dash panel. It
is
attached by means
of three hooks to the fire wall. To fill with water or solvent:
remove the bag from the hooks, drop to where the cap
13
may be unlocked and removed, flll the bag, replace the
cap and reinstall on the three hooks.

the washer
bag filled with a solution of water and a suitable solvent.
G. M. Part No. 988299, Windshield Washer Anti-Freeze
and solvent, is recommended for use in the Corvair
windshield washer bag. NEVER USE ANY SOLVENT OR
ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION WHICH CONTAINS METHANOL.
Fill the washer bag only
3,4
full for expansion if the
solution freezes. In freezing weather, pre-warm the
windshield using the heater defrosters before using the
washers.
