INSTALLATION
Before installing the wiper arm and blade, turn the wiper motors ON, then turn wiper switch OFF so that the wiper motors will stop in the PARK position. Set arm on pivot and position it in the PARK position. Tighten the nut to 9.8 - 13.7 Nm (86.7 - 121.3 in. lbs.). The washer hose is connected to the arm by routing the hose to the outside of the pivot shaft of the wiper motor.
