solder the connections, be sure the blue shrink tubing is far enough away from the heated
ends to prevent it from shrinking prematurely from the heat of soldering.
6. The wires may be different colors from the Motor than the ones from the hose cable. The
order is not important, the brush will operate with any combination of wires, but it may turn
in the opposite direction in some cases but will still change directions as before.
7. Each of the 3 wires from the hose can now be inserted into the Crimp connectors on the
new motor. Try to twist the wires tight enough so that all the strands go into the silver
connector, then crimp it with a crimping tool. Alternately, the wires can be soldered, if so,
be sure they are heated to a point where the solder flows into all the strands and into the
silver connector. The Motor is a low voltage, HIGH AMP device and a poor connection will
result in faulty performance.
8. Slide the Blue shrink tubing over the metal connector; Heat the tubing to shrink it in place.
A hair dryer, heat gun or even a cigarette lighter can be used. Be careful to not burn
yourself, the plastic hose or heat the other shrink tubing at this time.
9. Connect the other 2 wires following the same procedure.
10. When all 3 wires are connected and insulated, slide the larger black shrink tubing over
them and as far towards the motor as possible. Heat this shrink tubing to shrink it on to the
wires.
11. Next, slip the Nylon Loop Strap over the wires. This will guide the wires. The Loop Strap
will be held in place with one of the 10-32 x 5/8” screws used to hold the black nozzle on
the hose.
12. Insert the screws into the mounting holes in the Nozzle and thread the screws into the
original holes in the hose if possible. If this is difficult, you may need to drill new holes in
the hose using the 2 holes in the Black Nozzle as a guide. Use a 3/16” diameter drill.
13. When the screws are in place, place the loop strap hole over one of the screws and install
one of the nuts then tighten the screw with a screwdriver. It may be necessary to use a
screwdriver to thread the screws through the loop strap.
14. If your hose has a stiffener, install its loop over the other screw, install the nut and tighten it.
If there is no stiffener, just install the nut and tighten the screws.
15. Your repair and upgrade are now complete and ready to test. If you have any questions,
