EVERBLADES® INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LIMITED 1-YEAR WARRANTY – Parts and workmanship warranted for 1 year.

WARRANTY PROVISIONS

Do not hook to more than 14 volts DC!
Do not install just one blade – it will get too hot!

You must install both blades in a series, not parallel, hookup.
Only the 26 series (refills) can be installed one at a time.

Note: Specially made Everblades®, if so identified, can be used in parallel hookup.

For example: Heated bridge models, refills made for competitor systems.

WARNING! Bending or twisting any portion of the blades may cause damage and poor wiping.

Follow these steps: {To make your experience with Everblades® more enjoyable, you could sing or hum “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash!}

CAUTION: Keep wires from sharp edges in all steps.

Mount illuminated on/off switch in convenient dash or under-dash location.

Hook blue wire to GOOD ground.

Attach red wire to a switched circuit.
1. NOTE: A “switched” circuit is one that is OFF when the ignition is OFF. For example, if your switch is lit with the ignition OFF, the attachment is wrong.

Turn wiper switch and ignition “ON”.

Check that the switch light is “ON” = system connected properly.

NOTE: Power will be supplied to the heater elements only

when the switch light is “ON”.

Run black wire from switch through firewall of vehicle and secure wires.
