Cab Maintenance Preventive Maintenance 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. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TANK Windshield Washer Fluid Tank Washer Reservoir 02391 CAUTION: Do not use antifreeze or engine coolant in the windshield washer reservoir—damage to seals and other components will result. Weekly: check reservoir water level, located in the engine compartment under the coolant expansion tank. If necessary, fill to the proper level. – 238 – Y53-6027 Medium Duty (R05/09)
