4. To clean or replace the Carbon Brushes (38): It may become necessary to
clean or replace the two Carbon Brushes when the Motor performance de-
creases, or stops working completely. The Carbon Brushes are located on
each side of the Motor Housing (40). To do so, remove the two Brush Holder
Covers (37). Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes from the Brush Holders
(39). If the Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace
both
Carbon
Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty theymay be cleaned by
rubbing them with a pencil eraser; if only cleaning is required, clean and place
brushes in the same position as they were orginally in. When installing the Car
bon Brushes, make sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brushes contact the
Motor Armature (30), and the springs face away from the Motor. Also, make sure
the springs operate freely. After cleaning or replacement, replace the Brush
Holder Covers.
NOTE: New Carbon Brushes tend to arc or spark when first used until they
wear and conform to the Motor’s Armature.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
