Replaceable Segment Option
REMOVAL
Release and remove the retaining screws (F) securing the end plate / adaptor (A). Slide off the segments
(B) and spacers (C) from the central core. Note : On earlier machines the driving pin (E) on the inner
diameter of the segments must be aligned with a slot (D) on the core (G) where the two parts join.
REFITTING
First slide on a segment then alternately a spacer and a segment. Sufficient spacers and segments must
be fitted to allow the end plate to nearly abut with the core and also clamp them tightly. The peg (E) on
the segment (B) to be alternatively located round the core clock face at 12, 2, 4 o’clock and so on until
the core is filled, failure to observe this could cause the brush to bounce. The last segment must have the
pin (E) on the segment (B) located in the cut out (D) to ensure the peg does not interfere when the parts
are bolted together.
Note : Lightly smear the retaining screws (F) with grease.
This assembly is designed to accommodate 340mm diameter segments.
Plastic Throw Away Stock
