Motor Service
The bearings inside the motor are shielded and
lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no
routine maintenance.
This motor is equipped with long life carbon
brushes. Brush life expectancy is affected by
motor loading. Heavy motor loading will result in
reduced brush life. If you notice a loss in power or
if the motor becomes excessively noisy, inspect
the brushes. If the brushes are worn down to
1
⁄4''
(6mm) or less, it is time to replace them. When
checking brushes, be sure to return each brush to
the same hole in the same direction that it came
from. When replacing old brushes, replace both
brushes at the same time.
