arrangement on both sides, in
such a way that the wiping
pattern obtained meets the
regulatory requirements of
AISO11-2001.
5.
The path of link rod
movement, during wiping
system operation, should be
free from any obstacles to
ensure free movement.
6.
Wiper arm and blade
assembly should be properly
tightened on the wheel box
to ensure proper pressing of
rubber edge of blade against
the wind screen.
7.

balanced and it is to be
ensured that there is no
possibility of entangling /
