Wiper Blades
IMPORTANT
• Grease, silicon and petrol based products
impair the blade’s wiping capability. Wash
the wiper blades in warm soapy water
and periodically check their condition.
• Clean the windscreen frequently, DO
NOT use wipers to remove stubborn or
ingrained dirt, it will reduce their effect
and their life span.
• If signs of hardness or cracking in the
rubber are found, or if the wipers leave
streaks or unwiped areas on the screen,
then the wiper blades should be replaced.
• Clean the windscreen regularly with an
approved glass cleaner and ensure the
screen is thoroughly cleaned before
fitting replacement wiper blades.
• Only fit replacement wiper blades that
are identical to the original specification.
• Clean ice and snow from around wipers
and ensure they are not frozen or
otherwise sticking to the windscreen
before attempting to operate them.
