UAZ PATRIOT Operation Manual page 85

Windshield wipers should not be turned on when the windshield
is dry. Keep the wiper blade rubber out of contact with fuel and
oil.
While operating, make sure the windshield wipers work
properly and their parts are securely fixed. Periodically clean
the windshield and rubber edges of the wiper blades from dirt
and oil.
During seasonal service, keep the windshield wipers on for
15-20 minutes. Wiper blades must be placed in fixed position
away from the windshield. The wiper blade arm of the rear
window must be detached.
After 18-24 months of operation replace wiper blades or their
rubber edges if necessary.
Replacement of wiper blades of windshield wipers
To replace wiper blades of windshield wipers perform the
following steps:
- lift the arm of the windshield wiper from the windshield or
the rear window;
- rotate the wiper blade about its axis of rotation and place
it nearly perpendicularly to the lever; prior to this step release
the wiper blade lock by pressing the tab on the adapter between
the wiper blade and the lever; dismount the wiper blade from
the lever.
A new wiper blade is installed in the reverse order.
NOTe: Installation of frameless wiper blades is possible.
Washer reservoir 2 (Fig. 3.28) is filled with clean water (in
summer) or a special nonfreezing fluid (in winter).
To drain water from the washer reservoir pull out the washer
reservoir and disconnect electric wiring and tubes from the
washer.
Adjust the direction of water stream by changing the position
of spraying nozzle balls with a needle inserted into the ball
channel (feed hole).
When the spraying nozzle is clogged, disconnect the tube
and air blow the spraying nozzle.
To avoid failure of the washer pumps check the water level in
the reservoir; 20 mm from the bottom is the lowest level permitted.
Do not keep washer reservoirs turned ON for more than 10
sec.
