Motor Brush Replacement
NOTE:
Replace the brushes when they have worn to
less than 1/2 in. Note that the brushes wear dif-
ferently on each side of the motor, so check them
both. Brush Repair Kit 220–853 is available. A
new spring clip, P/N 110–816 may be purchased
separately.

4. Loosen the brush lead terminal screw. Pull the
brush lead away, leaving the motor lead terminal in
place. Remove the brush and spring. See Fig. 14.
5. Inspect the commutator for excessive pitting,
burning or gouging. A black color on the commuta-
tor is normal. Have the commutator resurfaced by
a qualified motor repair shop if the brushes seem
to wear too fast.
CAUTION
When installing the brushes, follow all steps care-
fully to avoid damaging the parts.
6. Install a new brush so the lead is in the long slot of
the holder. See Fig. 13.
