Preparation
• Switch off the wheelchair via the remote control.
• Be sure that the freewheel switch is in 'drive' mode. If the
freewheel switch is in 'push' mode this will make loosening
the bolts impossible.
• Use a lifting device to raise the drive wheels clear of the
ground.
Instructions
The following operations are required to replace the 4
carbon brushes:
• Remove the nut/washer and the locking washers of the
drive wheel.
• Remove the drive wheel from the motor axle.
• Loosen the central motor arm screw and remove the motor
arm.
• Remove the mudguards.
• Loosen the five bolts from motor arm to loosen the motor.
• Unscrew the 4 caps to get access to the carbon brushes.
• Pull the carbon brush out of the housing and remove the
brush.
• Inspect the collector on the anchor of the motor; if the
collector is seriously worn, replace the entire drive unit.
• Place the carbon brush in the holder; this can be done in
one way only.
• Screw the new plastic screw cap onto the carbon brush
holder.
• Mount the motor, mudguard, motor arm and driving wheel
on the carrier.
