Introduction:

Riding a Polaris RZR through rain, mud, and other adverse conditions can be exhilarating, but without proper visibility, it can also be dangerous. A windshield wiper is an essential accessory for any RZR owner who wants to maintain a clear view of the trail ahead. This step-by-step guide will provide you with all the information you need to install a windshield wiper on your RZR, ensuring that you can ride with confidence, even in the worst weather.

Materials Required:

Windshield wiper kit specific to your RZR model

Socket wrench set

Phillips head screwdriver

Electrical tape

Wire strippers

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Preparation:

Park your RZR on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shocks.

Clean the surface of the windshield where the wiper will be mounted with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Mounting the Wiper Motor:

Locate the mounting points for the wiper motor on the frame of the RZR, typically just below the windshield.

Align the wiper motor with the mounting points and secure it using the bolts provided in the kit.

3. Installing the Wiper Blade:

Attach the wiper blade to the motor shaft by sliding it onto the splines.

Use the provided nut to tighten the blade securely.

4. Wiring the Wiper Motor:

Cut a length of wire that is sufficient to reach from the wiper motor to the fuse panel.

Strip the ends of the wire using wire strippers.

Connect one end of the wire to the positive terminal of the wiper motor using the included terminal connector.

Connect the other end of the wire to a fuse tap in the fuse panel. This will provide power to the wiper motor when the ignition switch is turned on.

5. Grounding the Wiper Motor:

Cut another length of wire that is sufficient to reach from the wiper motor to a suitable grounding point on the frame.

Strip the ends of the wire using wire strippers.

Connect one end of the wire to the negative terminal of the wiper motor using the included terminal connector.

Connect the other end of the wire to a clean metal surface on the frame of the RZR using a self-tapping screw.

6. Testing the Wiper:

Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Turn on the ignition switch and operate the wiper switch.

The wiper should move smoothly across the windshield.

7. Final Adjustments:

Adjust the wiper arm to ensure that the wiper blade is making full contact with the windshield.

Secure the wiper arm with the provided bolts.

Wrap electrical tape around the exposed wire connections to protect them from water and moisture.

Troubleshooting:

Wiper does not move: Check the wiring connections and ensure that the fuse is intact.

Wiper moves slowly: The wiper motor may be damaged or the battery may be low.

Wiper streaks the windshield: The wiper blade may be worn or dirty. Replace the blade if necessary.

Conclusion:

Installing a windshield wiper on your Polaris RZR is a straightforward process that can significantly improve your visibility in adverse weather conditions. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your wiper is installed correctly and will provide years of dependable service. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
