Armature
NOTE: An ohmmeter may be used for the follow-
ing testing procedures, except for the one con-
cerning the shorted windings in the armature.
Check the commutator for roughness, burnt or
scored surface. If necessary, turn the commuta-
tor on a lathe, enough to remove grime only.
Check the commutator for mica depth. If the
depth is less than 0.20 mm (.008 in), undercut
the mica. Be sure that no burrs are left and no
copper dust remains between the segments after
the undercutting operation is completed.

with V Blocks and an indicator. If the commutator
out-of-round is more than 0.40 mm (.016 in), the
