2. To prevent contact between the brushes and commutator as the commutator is installed, and possible
damage to the brushes, lift the brush springs out of the notches in the brushes and pull the brushes
back from the center of the commutator end cover. The springs will rest on the sides of the brushes and
help prevent them from sliding towards the center of the cover (Figure 12-7, Page 12-5).
3. Install the commutator end cover (23) onto the armature shaft. Align the locating pin with the pin hole
in the cover. Install two M6 x 180 mm bolts (20), and tighten to 100 in-lb (11.3 N·m) (Figure 12-3,
Page 12-4).
4. Push the brushes down into the holders. Position springs into the notches in the brushes. Install the
brush cover (30) that has the drain hole in it next to the A2 terminal. Install the remaining three brush
covers (29) in the openings in the commutator end cover (23) (Figure 12-4, Page 12-4).
