Blade
•
Clean regularly the rubber part with specific products.
•
Replace the blade if the rubber is misshapen or worn. In any case, blades
should be replaced approximately once a year.
Some simple recommendations can minimise the possibility of damage to the blade:
•
- If the temperature is below zero, make sure the rubber part is not frozen to
the windscreen. If required, use a de-icing product to release the blade.
•
- Remove any snow from the windscreen: this will protect the blade and avoid
overloading and overheating the electric motor.
•
Do not operate the windscreen wiper on a dry windscreen.
DRIVING WITH A WORN WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE CAN BE EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS AS VISIBILITY IS DECREASED IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS.
