Speed Control; Thermal Protector; Receptacle Assembly - Hoover PowerMAX Service Instructions Manual

Note: Upon reassembly of the fan cover it
best to line up the fan cover and diffuser and
set motor upright on bench and "tap" around
the perimeter of the diffuser until the fan cover
seats. This will eliminate tapping directly on
the fan cover which could dent and cause the
fan to rub.
7. Remove the fan nut by turning clockwise.
Armature shaft has a screwdriver slot.
8. Remove fan and check for wear at the
hub.
9. Remove two screws which secure upper
motor housing and remove field and arma-
ture.
Note: On some models it will be necessary to
remove the threaded balancing ring on the
top of the motor. This ring was used to bal-
ance the motors in production. It is not neces-
sary to replace this ring upon reassembly of
the motor. Both service and production motors
are now produced without this ring.
Upon reassembly be sure motor mount is
positioned properly.
