BRUSH CAP
CHANGING MOTOR BRUSHES:
WARNING: Make sure machine is unplugged from
electrical system.
1. Remove motor cover.
2. With the motor uncovered, unscrew brush cap. (See
figure 12).
3. Remove brush, mark the top of the brush. Note the
condition of brush end and brush length. If brush end is
chipped or damaged in any way, replace brush. Brush
length of 1/4” or less indicates time for replacement.
4. If brush is still good, replace into holder or; if not good,
replace with new brush. Repeat procedure on other side
then assemble cover and your machine is ready to run.
NOTE: If new brushes are used, run the machine for about
5 minutes before operating. Check brushes every 300
hours of operation and change motor brushes every 5 years.
CARING FOR CABLES:
NOTE: A new 10’ anchor cable should be replaced each time new cable is installed.
Spartan cables are of such design that no special care is required. At the end of each day of use,
cables and the inside of drum should be rinsed throughly with water to prevent damaging effects of
drain cleaning compounds, acids and other organic compounds that eat away the cable’s strength.
Cables should be replaced when they become severely corroded or worn. A “worn cable” can be
identified when outside coils of cable become flattened and/or the cable becomes limber. A light
weight rust inhibiting oil is recommended for use on cables when not in use. This serves to delay
the effects of acid but only for a limited time.
NOTE: Worn or corroded cable reduce the machine efficiency in removing obstructions. New
cable reduces chances of downtime and the time it takes to get the job done.
