Brush & Spring Replacement
- Brushes that are worn beyond wear limit line, or oil soaked, should be replaced.
- When replacing field coil brushes, crush worn brush with pliers, taking care not to damage pigtail.
- Sand pigtail end with sandpaper to ensure good soldering.
- Insert pigtail into hole provided in new brush and solder it. Make sure that pigtail and excess solder do not come out onto brush surface.
- When replacing ground brush, slide the brush from brush holder by prying retaining spring back. See Fig 1.
