MOTOR MAINTENANCE
The brushed motor needs to be cleaned periodically using
an electric motor cleaning spray, available from your local
hobby store. Spray the brushes and commutator inside the
motor housing to keep the motor running properly. After
cleaning, use a thin bearing oil to lubricate the bearings of
the bushings.

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other part could create a hazard or cause

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
