Windshield Wipers

In order to renew or release frozen
w indshield wiper blades, the w ind­
shield wiper arms can be pulled out of
their recess by hand. Sufficient force
must be applied to overcom e spring
resistance.
In order to ensure operation of the
windshield w iper even w hen it is
snowing heavily, an overload p ro te c­
tion has been installed. It becom es
effective if a certain wiping resistance
is exceeded as a result of snow
accumulation. The w indshield w iper
arm will then no longer return
com pletely to its initial position,
although the windshield w iper m otor
continues to run a full cycle.
