OILING.
To lubricate the motor, place a few drops of oil on the shaft
bearings. Top bearing can be reached through a hole in the top of the housing
and bottom bearing
is
covered with a felt wick which can be saturated with
oil.
Do
not get oil on the motor brushes as this will cause commutator to get
dirty and gummed up and slow down the motor.
