Checking the blades

washing fluid. The windscreen should
be perfectly clean and not greasy. If
required, complete the cleaning oper-
ation with degreasing products (am-
monia based) or degreasing polishes.
The blades must also be perfectly
clean before starting the check. If re-
quired, clean the corners with warm
water and soap.
1) Check the blades carefully. They
should not be broken or damaged in
any part. Replace both the blades if
they are broken or damaged.
2) If the blades are intact, continue
by checking the operation. Operate
the windscreen washer and the
wipers. If the blades clean the wind-
screen perfectly they can be kept. If
not, replace them both.
