Detach the feed tubes at the outlet side of both non reverse valves, 24 in the diagram and then reverse blow from the nozzles - detach both valves no 24 from the supply tubes from the reservoir - forward blow the valves - detach the y piece and reverse blow the supply tubes to the reservoir. Flush the reservoir with plain water. Reattach the Y tube to the supply tubes to valves no 24 and the feed tubes to the nozzles - flush with plain water by operating the washers - I add methanol to the reservoir in addition to windscreen cleaner to prevent the slime - an egg cup full of rinse aid added to the reservoir will stop the squeaking of the blades on the screen.
