REPAIR PROCEDURE:

This bulletin involves installing an in-line check valve in the windshield washer hose.

1. Pinch off the washer hose near the reservoir to prevent fluid from running out of the reservoir.

2. Cut a one inch section out of the hose two to three inches from the reservoir.

3. Locate the arrow molded on the check valve (P/N 4740043). Install the check valve in the hose so the arrow points away from the reservoir.

4. Verify system operation.
