INSPECTION
MONTHLY
Inspect the exterior of the machine, including cables,
for damage.
Covers, Seals, Latches
Clean the outside of the machine and remove the in-
spection covers. Use clean, dry compressed air and
blow the dirt and carbon dust from the interior of the ma-
chine.
WARNING: When using compressed air for clean-
ing purposes, flying debris and particles may
present a hazard to personnel in the immediate
area. Personnel should be provided with, and
trained in the use of, personal protective equip-
ment as specified by applicable federal or state
safety regulations.
Check exterior covers to be sure felt seals are intact.
If seals are missing or covers are damaged, replace
seals or covers as necessary. Make sure covers fit prop-
erly and cover latches work properly.
Brushholders (Fig. 5)
Satisfactory operation of the drilling motor requires
the brushholders to be in good condition. Of particular
importance is the inside dimension of the carbonways.
Operation may also be impaired by brushholders which
have been mechanically damaged or sustained dam-
age as the result of motor flashovers.
Inspect the brushholders for damage. If they require
replacement, refer to BASIC REPAIRS, Brushholder
Replacement section for instructions.
When new, brushholder carbonways should mea-
sure 0.753 +/–0.002 in x 2.2575 +/–0.0025 in. If or when
the 0.753 in. dimension exceeds 0.765 in., the brushhol-
der should be scrapped. If it falls between 0.758 and
0.765 in., the carbonway can be restored to its proper
dimension according to the following instructions:
1. Remove the brushholder. Position it as shown in
Fig. 3 and tap the metal ridge with a hammer.

other end.
2. Check progress frequently by means of a “Go/
No–Go” gage made to the dimensions shown in
Fig. 4.
