RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful inspections are
therefore necessary.

BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recom-
mended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒ make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the wind-
screen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
