Drive Motor
1. General Information
A routine maintenance schedule with recorded findings is the
best way to reduce costly shut-downs and repair of
equipment during operating hours.
The goal of any maintenance program -- long-life and trouble-
free  operations  -- is  related  to  the  time spent  making
inspections and correcting minor problems as they occur.
The key to planned maintenance of the brush and
commutator is  recognizing  the  undesirable brush and
commutator conditions. If this is done, corrective action can
be taken before a major component is damaged beyond
serviceability. The brushes and commutator should be
inspected for even wear and good commutation.
2. Operating Conditions
Operating environment of lift truck motors varies widely.
The following recommendations should be applied as actual
conditions dictate:
Normal Service:
Basically an eight hour day of indoor
material handling.
Severe Service:
Extended operating hours, or constant
usage.
Extreme Service:
Chemical processing
Freezer operation
Processing plants (poultry, meat)
3. Troubleshooting
When a motor has trouble in operation a reasonable decision
has to be made as to the proper corrective course of action.
We  have  reviewed  many  troubleshooting  guides and have
reduced them to a few which seem to be the most effective
Symptom/Cause relationships.
