3. Installation
Before starting the installation read the chapter on safety. Check before installation that all
parts are present and undamaged. In case of errors, contact your vendor.
3.1 Preparation
The complete wiper, with packaging, can be handled and transported by hand. Leave the
wiper in the packing, until you are ready to install it; this will reduce the risk of damage and
loss of parts. Make sure all parts, tools and other means are ready.
3.2 Installation of mechanical parts
1.
The wipe arc of your wiper is not pre-set unless specifi ed in the order and
manufacturing process. Please follow steps described in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 to set
the wiping arc prior to installation.
2. Rough determination of wiping arc and wiper
blade. With this method the wiping arc and the
wiper blade length can roughly be determined.
Please contact your vendor to calculate your
confi guration more accurately.
• Determine length of pantograph arm (L):
L = E + D
• Get the maximum wiped area width (W):
W = ±0.9 * GW
• Find the intersection of L en W in the diagram below;
L
D
E
GH
GW
W
H
D = distance top side
glass to center
of spindles
E = eye level
GH = glass height
GW = glass width
H = vertical displacement
L
= length of arm
W = width of wiped area
