NOTE: Failure to maintain the brushes could void your Jet 1’s warranty.
The electric motors that power your Jet 1 use carbon brushes. These brushes may become susceptible to wear
over a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly that supply
power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. However, if the brushes
become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all. We recommend that your
authorized provider inspect the brushes every six months, or sooner if your Jet 1 runs poorly. If inspection deter-
mines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will result.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud. See VI. “Disassembly.”
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 31.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorized Pride pro-
vider for replacement brushes.
