Windshield Wipers

To replace or release frozen w ind­
shield w iper blades, the windshield
w iper arms can be pulled out of their
recess by hand. Sufficient force must
be applied to overcom e spring resist­
ance. Be careful not to tear rubber
blades w hich are frozen to the glass,
as this will reduce the effectiveness of
the wipers.
To ensure operation of the windshield
w iper even when it is snowing heavily,
an overload protection has been
installed. It becom es effective if a cer­
tain wiping resistance is exceeded as
a result o f snow accumulation. The
w indshield w iper arm will then no lon­
ger return com pletely to its initial pos­
ition, although the windshield wiper
m otor continues to run a full cycle. If
this condition is encountered, the
accum ulated snow should be man­
ually removed when it is safe.
