Windshield Wipers/Washer
Check wiper blades annually or every 60,000 miles (96,000
km). Anco 18-inch (450mm) wiper blades are recommended.
The windshield washer tank is located inside the engine
compartment below the radiator expansion tank. See
“Washer Reservoir” on page 201. Check the windshield
washing fluid level weekly. If necessary, fill to top.
CAUTION: If the electric pump is operated for a
long period (more than 15 seconds) with a dry
reservoir, the pump rotor may be damaged.
Clean all inside and outside windows regularly. Use an alcohol-based
cleaning solution and wipe dry with either a lintfree
or a chamois cloth. Avoid running the wiper blades over
a dry windshield to prevent scratching the glass. Spray on
washer fluid first. A scratched windshield will reduce visibility.
