Front wiper blade 333/C1550 JCB 3CX/4CX, aftermarket

Front wiper blade 333/C1550 is an aftermarket part for the JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. According to the product card, this is the front wiper blade; the card also lists 332/A7768 and 714/40283.

A wiper blade is the rubber-edged sweep that clears rain, mud and dust as it passes over the glass. On construction machines the front and rear windows are large and get dirty constantly, and a good blade lets the operator see the bucket, the load and people nearby clearly. Sun, ozone and cold harden the rubber, wearing and cracking its edge, so the blade smears, judders, makes noise and leaves the glass uncleaned. Hardened rubber can also scratch the glass. The blade is a consumable and is replaced at least once a year, more often if needed. Check the blades at the start of every season; front and rear blades are usually changed together. Keeping the rubber clean and washing the glass regularly extends blade life, while running the wipers on frozen glass can tear the rubber at once.

Fitting

Lift the arm off the glass and place a cloth between them so the arm cannot strike the glass. Unclip the old blade and push the new one on until it locks. Lower the arm gently onto the glass and run the wiper on wet glass to check it clears without streaks. Never run the wipers on dry glass.
