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.
