Vacuum Motor Carbon Brushes Replacement
Carbon
Brushes
If armature commutator is grooved, extremely pitted or not
concentric, the motor will need to be replaced or sent to a qualified
service center.
Important:
These brushes wear quicker as the length shortens due to
increased heat. Spring inside brush housing will damage motor if
brushes are allowed to wear away completely.
Periodically check the length of the carbon brushes. Replace both
carbon brushes when either is less than 3/8" (9.5mm) long.
The green ground wire must attach the motor to
the power cord for safe operation. See the wiring
diagram.
Note: When replacing electrical component parts
refer to wiring diagram for proper connection.
Note: The vac motor is protected by a circuit breaker
located in the switch panel. The breaker will only trip
under conditions of abuse.
