down once and let go. The wipers will stop after one
cycle. For additional cycles, hold the lever down.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades

gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged wiper blades may
prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely.
If the blades do become damaged, install new blades or
blade inserts. For more information, see Windshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-67 .

A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
