WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
Changing the windscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm and po-
sition the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm;
❒ press tab A-fig. 14 of the coupling
spring and remove the blade to be re-
placed from the arm;
❒ fit the new arm, inserting the tab into
the arm seat. Check for proper locking.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
