Motor Brushes
NOTE: Replace brushes when worn to about 12.5 mm
(0.5 in.). Always check both brushes. Brush Repair Kit
236967 is available for motor brush repair.
NOTE: Replacement brushes may last only half as
long as the original ones. To maximize brush life, break
in new brushes by operating the sprayer with no load
as instructed in this procedure.
NOTE: To minimize down time, and for best sprayer
performance, check motor brushes and clean trans-
ducer (see page 28) whenever pump is repacked.

nector (E).
