Operating the Hydro-Wiper 

Opening and closing the wiper control housing 

To open the wiper control housing, unscrew the lid in an anti-clockwise direction.  If the lid 
is tight, use the lid shifting tool supplied with your Hydro-Wiper.  This tool fits into the 
groove in the top face of the cap and allows greater leverage.   

To close, screw the cap onto the battery housing until it is just hand tight. 

Do not over 

tighten or use the cap shifting tool to tighten the cap.  

 

 

NOTE! 

Always clean and service the O ring before closing the lid. Refer to the 
maintenance section of this manual for instructions on doing this. 

 

Installing the battery 

Switch off the Hydro-Wiper using the power switch. Gently pull the battery connector off 
the battery holder contacts.  Remove the battery holder from the control housing and 
insert 6 x AA batteries into the battery holder. Check all the batteries are correctly 
orientated.  Put the battery holder back into the control housing. Re-attach the battery 
connector to the battery holder contacts.  Switch on the Hydro-Wiper. The LED should flash 
4 times and then a wipe is performed. 

 

 

NOTE! 

Use only good quality AA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries (eg. 

Energizer

 or 

Duracell

 

brand).
