Windshield Wipers

You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
marked WIPER. For a single wiping cycle, turn the band
to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go.
The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more
cycles, hold the band on MIST longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band to LO.
-
For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI.
To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short
delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light
rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to LO, the shorter the delay between wipes.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
