MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that power your Jazzy use carbon brushes.
These brushes may become susceptible to wear over a long pe-
riod of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located
inside the motor assembly that supply power to the motor. They
are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation.
However, if the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or
wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all. We recommend
that your authorized Pride provider inspect the brushes every six	MOTOR BRUSH CAP
months or sooner if your Jazzy runs poorly. If inspection deter-	Figure 49. Motor
