Brush Test
- Connect one ohmmeter lead to positive brush holder and other lead to negative brush holder. If continuity exists, brush holder assembly is shorted. Replace brush holder assembly.
- Check brush length. See BRUSH LENGTH SPECIFICATIONS table. If brush length is less than specified, replace brushes. Using spring scale, check spring tension. If tension is less than specified, replace brush holder. See BRUSH TENSION SPECIFICATIONS table. Ensure brushes move freely in holders.
