Replacing Conveyor Motor
Brushes
The Model W1678 is equipped with a universal motor that
uses two carbon motor brushes to transmit electrical
current inside the motor. These brushes are considered to
be regular "wear items" or "consumables" that will need to
be replaced during the life of the motor. The frequency
of required replacement is often related to how much the
motor is used and how hard it is pushed.
Replace both motor brushes at the same time when the
motor no longer reaches full power, or when the brushes
measure less than ⁄ " in length (new brushes are
1
4
long).
If your machine is used frequently, we recommend
keeping an extra set of these replacement brushes
on-hand to avoid any downtime.
