BRUSHES
Your
CHALLENGAIR 2000XL™
has one brush-type motor. The brushes should be
checked for wear after approximately 600 hours of use. If the carbon brushes are
worn shorter than 1/4 inch, the brushes should be replaced. Brushes may be ordered
from
Double K Industries
or an Authorized Service Center. Please be sure to specify
that your dryer is a
2000XL™
, as the brushes are slightly different from one dryer
model to another.
To check and/or replace brushes:
1. Unplug electrical cord from wall outlet.
Disassembly:
2.
Slide off the back cover from the dryer. This is a compression fit and will come
off with a little effort.
3.
Remove all screws on the outside of the dryer that hold the two halves of dryer
housing in place. Lay the dryer on its side while removing these screws. Remove
the O-ring on the snout of the dryer and lift the top half.
4.
Each motor will be sitting in place inside the rubber silicone motor mounts.
Removing the rubber silicone motor mounts from the motor is not neces-
sary to replace brushes. The internal filter frame fits into slots on the inside
of the dryer housing. This piece can remain while changing brushes.
5.
Disconnect motor power wires (see wiring diagram). Note where wires connect.
6. Motor:
(a)
Find the flag connector on the top of the brush assembly. There is a
wire leading to this connector.
(b)
Place a flathead screwdriver with a fine tip
between the flag connector and the plastic brush housing.
(c)
Rock the screw-
driver back and forth and gently wedge the flag connector out of the brush
assembly.
(d)
Loosen the two brush assembly retainer bracket screws.
(e)
Remove the brush assembly.
(f)
Replace the brush assembly with the new
one, making sure that the small tab on the bottom is fitted onto the corre-
sponding slot on the motor frame.
(g)
Replace the brush assembly retainer
bracket and tighten the screws which hold it in place.
(h)
Attach the flag
connector to the new brush in the same position as the previous brush.
(i)
Repeat these steps for the brush on the other side of the motor.
Reassembly:
7. Inspect the motor mount for cracks or damage -- replace if necessary.
Set the motor back into its original position in the dryer housing. The
motor mount has slots that fit over corresponding alignment tabs on the
inside of the dryer housing. These slots and tabs must match up for proper
fit and function. (Note: In the event that the motor mount is removed from
the motor, simply replace it by being mindful to align the contours of the
motor mount with corresponding contours on the motor housing.) Make
sure that the internal filter housing is in its appropriate slot before putting
the halves together.
8. Reattach the screws around the outside of the dryer making sure the two
halves are matching up.
9. After the two halves of the dryer housing have been put together, replace
internal filter and push the back cover onto the rear of the dryer. Always make
sure all filters are in place before operating dryer. Replace o-ring on snout.
