Brush Inspection and Replacement
1. Visually inspect brushes. Replace brushes that are cracked or severely chipped.
2. Check the wear line on the side of the brush. If the end of the brush is within 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) of the
wear line, replace all four brushes (Figure 13-4, Page 13-3).
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 13-3,
Page 13-2) . 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 13-5, Page 13-3) . See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• 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.
