3.1 Preparation
The complete wiper, with packaging, can be handled and transported by hand.
Leave the wiper in the packing, until you are ready to install it; this to reduce
the risk of damage. Make sure all parts, tools and other means are ready.
3.2 Installation of mechanical parts
1. Ifyourwiperissuppliedwiththewipearcdiscuninstalled,pleasefollow
steps described in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 to set the wiping arc prior to
installation.
Determine the place where the wiper is to be installed. The dimensions are
shown below. The wiper can be installed in any position.

Attention!
When installing the wiper, reserve space for a housing or cover.
2. Place the windshield wiper in the pre-drilled holes of the bulkhead (see
figure). A nitrile plate must be placed at both sides of the bulkhead.
Attention!
Do not fit the wiper arm before finishing the electrical connections.

4. Connect the wiper to the ship’s electrical installation; see the diagram
above (or refer to paragraph 9.2 for full details on the wiring). Use a cable
with 5 wires with diameter of at least 1½ mm2(16 g) up to a maximum
length of 10 m. Use larger diameters when using longer cables.
5. Fit a slow blow fuse of 6A(12Volt), 4A (24 Volt) in the main cable.
6. Connect the switch to the wiper (refer to that specific manual for
installation).
3.4 Final installation
7. Switch on the power and test the motor briefly. Wait until the motor stops
after turning off the switch. The motor will be in park position. The
standard park position is shown in the figure under point 8.
Hint!
If you have doubts regarding the park position,
make a vane with tape to simulate the position of
the arms.
Attention!
The 232BD is suitable for wiper arms model PU up to
750 mm and wiper blades up to 800 mm.
8. Place the wiper arm with the blade on the
shafts. Fasten the nuts loosely onto the shafts.

!

Attention
To ensure the arm has the right spring pressure, install the wiper arm in such a way
that the shafts make a 90° angle with the window (figure left) and that the shafts
make a 90° angle with the wiper arm (figure right). If this is not the case, please
install a spacer or multiple spacers to make the 90° angles.
9. Switch on the power and test the motor briefly again to check the wiped
area.
