CLEANING SLIP RINGS
1. Visually inspect the slip rings. Under normal use, the
rings turn dark brown.
2. If slip rings are corroded or their surface is uneven,
remove belt to turn shaft by hand for cleaning.
3. Clean rings with 220 grit emery paper. Remove as little
material as possible. If rings are deeply pitted and do not
clean up, consult generator factory service.
4. Reinstall belt, brush holder assembly, and end panel.
