Brush Motor Current Draw Test
WARNING:
This procedure must be performed by qualified personnel only.
1
Drive the machine on a level floor.
2 Remove the brush
3 Disconnect the drive system connector (A) (Figure 6) on the Main machine controller (B) to disable
machine movement
4 Turn on the machine by the key and the button
5 Press the One-Touch button
to lower the brush deck
6 Apply the amperometric clamp (C) to an electrical cable (D) of the brush motor
7 Activate the brush by pressing the paddle, then check that the brush motor current draw is between 3
and 4A at 20V(*)
8 Deactivate the brush by releasing the paddle and raise the brush deck by pressing the One-Touch
button
9 Remove the Amp clamp (C)
10 If the amperage is higher, perform the following procedures to detect and correct the abnormal
amperage:
◦
Check the brush motor carbon brushes
◦
Remove the brush motor then check the condition of its components
11 If the above-mentioned procedures do not lead to a correct amperage, it is necessary to replace the brush
motor
