Brushes
The motor brushes must be checked regularly for wear. Use the following procedure
to check the brushes in the motor for wear:
1. Remove the motor from the drive assembly.
2. There is a small inspection hole above each of the four brushes.
Insert a .035” rod or paper clip into the inspection hole until it
contacts the top of the brush. Mark the rod and measure how far it
was inserted into the motor.
3. If the rod travels into the hole 1.5” or more, then the brushes must be
replaced. Inspect all four brushes.
NOTE: We recommend that all the brushes be replaced at
the same time.
