Trouble Shooting of Brake by Qualified
Service Person Only

1. Check commutation at no load. If there is a heavy

sparking which follows the curvature of the commuta-
tor: replace the armature.

2. To continue trouble shooting, now unplug the power

cord.

3. Install service brushes, especially if delayed come-in of

brake has been noticed before failure.

4. Check brake circuit for continuity: remove brush caps

and brushes. Use ohmmeter to check continuity from
brass brush holder to brush holder. If open, locate
exact place using ohmmeter. As indicated by test,
tighten connection or replace field assembly or replace
switch.

5. After repair, check direction of blade rotation vs. guard

arrow.
