BRUSH INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
BEFORE
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
Brush life varies, depends on the load on the motor.
Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use of a new
machine, or after a new set of brushes has been
installed.
After the first check, examine them after about 10 hours
of use, until replacement is necessary.
The brush holders (A) Fig. 44, are located on the motor
housing opposite each other. Fig. 45, illustrates one of
the brushes removed for inspection. When the carbon on
either brush (B) is worn to 3/16" in length, or if either
spring or shunt wire (C) is burned or damaged in any way,
replace both brushes. If the brushes are found
serviceable after removing, reinstall them in the same
position.
