Installation Instructions
3
Above Deck Components
1) Determine the location of the thru-deck fittings. They should be positioned
close to the wiper arm, about 1” to 2” away from the wiper motor shaft. Be
sure you have plenty of clearance so that the wiper motor does not interfere
with the installation. The thru-deck fittings are long enough that they can be
installed in a deck up to 1-3/4” thick. For a thicker deck, counter-bore the
installation hole from below to accommodate the washer and hex nut. Drill a
5/16” diameter hole for each thru-deck fitting to be installed.
2) Insert the thru-deck fitting(s) through the installation hole(s).The rubber
washer should be positioned on top of the deck with the square flange
pointing up so that the thru-deck fitting nests inside the rubber washer.
Secure the thru-deck fitting from below with the metal washer(s) and hex
nut(s). Avoid over-tightening the nuts.
3) Next, install the clamp-on spray nozzles (part #6) onto the tip of the wiper
arm(s). Position the spray nozzle on the underside of the flat portion of the
wiper arm just below the wiper arm baton tip screw. Determine which of the
two sizes of clamps you need to use, #4 narrow clamp or #5 wide clamp,
based on the width of the flat portion of the wiper arm. Snap the clamp over
the arm onto the spray nozzle.
Note: Repeated snapping and unsnapping of the clamp can cause damage that
may prevent it from holding the spray nozzle in place.
4) After the spray nozzle(s) have been installed onto the tip of the wiper arm(s),
measure the distance from the spray nozzle to the thru-deck fitting and cut
the black rubber tubing to the appropriate length.
5) Determine the number of #3 arm clips needed to install the black rubber
tubing on the wiper arm(s).Short arms require one clip and long arms will
need two clips. Slide the rubber tubing through the hole in the arm clip(s).
insert the tubing into the spray nozzle fitting. Snap the arm clip(s) onto the flat
portion of the wiper arm. When using two clips,space them apart so that they
are located at opposite ends of the flat portion of the wiper arm.
6) To secure the rubber tubing to the lower wiper arm assembly, install the
optional rivet clip or feed through spring rivet. To install the rivet clip,
determine the size rivet clip for your wiper arm. Slide the rubber tubing
through the hole in the rivet clip and snap the clip onto the wiper arm spring
rivet. Use the large’ 1 rivet clip with the following Marinco Deluxe Wiper Arms:
33010A/33110A, 33014A/33114A, 33070A/33170A, 33032A/33132A or
33037A/33137A. Use the small #2 rivet clip with the following Marinco Deluxe
Wiper Arms: 33006A/33106A, 33007A/33107A or 33012A/33112A. To secure
the rubber tubing without using the rivet clip, feed the tubing under the wiper
arm spring rivet, behind the spring and back out through the side of the wiper
arm. Needle-nose pliers may be needed to perform this operation.
7) To complete the above deck installation, attach the end of the remaining
black rubber tubing onto the thru-deck fitting(s)
