(continued)

a. Loose terminal screws.

 

a. Tighten.

 

b. Broken or misaligned brush springs.

 

b. Replace broken spring and/or align

 

 

 

spring with brush

 

c. Brushes binding in holders.

 

c. Clean brush holders. Remove carbon

 

 

 

with small cleaning brush. Align brush

 

 

 

leads with slot in brush holder to as-

 

 

 

sure free vertical brush movement.

 

d. Broken leads.

 

d. Replace brushes

 

e. Worn brushes.

 

e. Replace brushes if less than 0.5 in.

 

 

 

(12.5 mm) long.

 

f. Brush leads snagged on spring clip.

 

f. Correctly route wires. See page 10.

 

NOTE: Brushes do not wear at same rate on both

 

 

 

sides of motor. Check both brushes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Motor armature commutator for burn spots, gouges and

5. Remove motor and have motor shop

 

extreme roughness. Remove motor cover and brush in-

 

resurface commutator if possible.

 

spection plates to check. See page 10.

 

See page 12.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Motor armature for shorts using armature tester (growler)

6.

Replace motor. See page 12.

 

or perform motor test. See page 9.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. That leads from pressure transducer and motor to motor

7. Replace loose terminals; crimp to leads.

 

control board (22a) are securely fastened and properly

 

Be sure male terminal blades are straight

 

mated.

 

and firmly connected to mating part.

 

 

 

 

 

8. Motor control board (22a) by performing motor control

8.

Replace board. See page 13.

 

board diagnostics on page 13. If diagnostics indicate, sub-

 

 

 

stitute with a good board.

 

 

 

CAUTION: Do not perform this check until motor armature

 

 

 

is determined to be good. A bad motor armature can burn

 

 

 

out a good board.
