Replace carbon brush when they measure ½” or less
in length.
•
Failure to replace carbon brushes will cause poor
machine performance and possible motor damage.
Check the condition of the batteries.
•
A battery may be checked using a Hydrometer to
check the specific gravity (strength) of the acid in
each cell. Variations in readings occur due to the
chemical reaction taking place during use.
•
Always check the specific gravity when the battery is
fully charged.
•
When the batteries are fully charged, the specific
gravity should be between 1.265 and 1.300.
•
Consult your local distributor and replace batteries as
needed.
