CAUTION
• Do not use emery cloth on the commutator. Particles of emery are conductive and may short-
circuit the commutator bars. Do not use oil or lubricants on the commutator or brushes.
2. Using a micrometer, measure the outside diameter at two points along the commutator. If the commu-
tator outside diameter is less than 1.60 inches (40.6 mm), replace the armature and bearings
(Figure 12-25, Page 12-17) .
Armature Ground Test

CAUTION
• Do not submerge armature in solvent.
NOTE: Before testing, wipe the armature with a clean cloth and remove carbon dust and metal particles
from between commutator bars.
1. Using a multimeter set on 200 (ohms), place the positive (+) probe on the commutator bars and the neg-
ative (–) probe on the armature core. The reading should be no continuity. If the reading is incorrect,
replace the armature and the two bearings
(Figure 12-26, Page 12-18) .
