MAINTENANCE

Cooling system

• The machine is equipped with an efficient fan to cool the
motor. Cooling air which is drawn in through the grille by
the machines rear handle passes over the stator and rotor
and out through the front of the motor housing.
• In order for the machine to always be cooled sufficiently
the cooling air openings must be kept clear and clean.
Blow down the machine regularly with compressed air.

Replacing the carbon brushes

• Check the carbon brushes at least once a month. The
carbon brushes should be replaced with new brushes if
they are worn, cracked or in any other way deformed.
• All carbon brushes must be replaced when the brushes
are replaced.
• Remove both inspection covers by loosening both screws.
• Unscrew the cable holding the carbon brush. Now lift up
the spring and then lift out the carbon brush from the
brush retainer.
• Clean the brush retainers with a dry brush.
• Carefully blow away the dust.
• Fit the new carbon brushes and, at the same time, check
that they slide easily in the brush retainers.
• Fold down the springs and tighten the cable.
• New carbon brushes must be run in for approximately 40
minutes while idling.

Water tap

• Check and clean the restrictor if necessary. Do not use
hoses that are distorted, worn or damaged.
