2-71. WINDSHIELD WIPERS.
a. Description.
Two electrically operated
windshield wipers are provided for use at takeoff,
cruise, and landing speed. A rotary switch, placarded
WINDSHIELD WIPER, located on the overhead
control panel, Figure 2-15, selects mode of windshield
wiper operation. An information placard above the
switch states: DO NOT OPERATE ON DRY GLASS.
Function positions on the switch, as read clockwise,
are: PARK / OFF / SLOW / FAST. When the switch is
held in the spring-loaded PARK setting, the blades will
return to their normal inoperative position on the glass;
then, when released, the switch will return to OFF
position terminating windshield wiper operation. The
FAST and SLOW switch positions are separate
operating speed settings for wiper operation. The
windshield wiper circuit is protected by one 10-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded WSHLD WIPER, located on
the overhead circuit breaker panel.
CAUTION
Do not operate windshield wipers on dry
glass. Such action can damage the linkage
as well as scratch the windshield glass.
b. Normal
Operation.
To
start,
turn
WINDSHIELD WIPER switch to FAST or SLOW
speed, as desired. To stop, turn the switch to the
PARK position and release. The blades will return to
their normal inoperative position and stop. Turning the
switch only to the OFF position will stop the windshield
wipers without returning them to the normal inactive
position.
