Brush Spring Inspection and Replacement
1. Visually inspect springs. Replace all four springs if any spring is discolored from heat (straw or bluish in
color).
2. Install the four brushes (27) into their holders and insert the four brush springs (28) (Figure 12-3,
Page 12-2) . Using a spring scale, test brush spring tension. If any spring has a tension less than 24
ounces (6.67 N), replace all four springs (Figure 12-5, Page 12-3) . See following CAUTION .
CAUTION
• When checking brush spring tension, do not push springs beyond the point they would
normally be if there were new brushes installed. Exerting excessive force or pushing brush
springs beyond their normal maximum extension point will damage springs.
