4) Armature short-circuit test
Check the armature for short-circuit by placing it on
growler tester. Hold a iron sheet against the arma-
ture core while slowly rotating armature. A short-
circuited armature will cause the iron sheet to vi-
brate and to be attracted to core. If the iron sheet is
attracted or vibrates, the armature, which is short-
circuited, must be replaced or repaired.
