2.2 DESCRIPTION OF WINDSCREEN WIPER AND WASHERS
There are three windscreen wipers on the
windscreen which are equipped with nozzle tips,
each of which has three sprayer nozzles.
The filler opening of the storage tank for the
windscreen washers and possibly the headlight
washers is located in the stepwell on driver’s
side.
2.3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF HEADLIGHT WASHING SYSTEM
95XF-series vehicles may be equipped with a
headlight washing system consisting of a
high-pressure pump and washers. The
high-pressure pump for this washing system
abuts the storage tank. The washers are
underneath the headlights. The headlight
washing system can be activated by operating
the windscreen wipe-wash system when the
lighting is switched on. When the wipe-wash
system has been operated with the lighting
switched on, the high-pressure pump starts to
build up pressure. As the pressure rises, the
telescopes are pushed out. Only when the
pressure has reached its maximum does a valve
at the top of the telescope open, after which the
liquid is sprayed at high pressure through the
nozzle tips onto the headlight glass. The
high-pressure pump stops after one second; the
washing cycle is complete. The built-in spring
now retracts the telescopes.
To begin another washing cycle, the windscreen
wipe-wash system must be re-activated.
2.4 DESCRIPTION OF HEADLIGHT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cab is equipped with an internal device for
adjusting the angle of the headlight beam.
Control is by a rotary knob located in the cab.
The knob is situated on the dashboard to the left
of the steering wheel.
The headlights are levelled by means of electric
motors located at the bottom of the headlight
unit.
