Brushes & Brush Holder

  1. Check brushes for wear. See Fig 1 . Measure length of brushes and if it is below the service limit, replace the brush. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  . Install brushes to each brush holder and check for smooth movement.
  2. Check movement of brush in brush holder. See Fig 2 . If brush movement within brush holder is sluggish, check brush holder for distortion and sliding faces for contamination. Clean or correct as necessary. Check for continuity across insulated brush holder (positive side) and grounded brush holder (negative side). If continuity exists, brush holder is grounded due to defective insulation and should be replaced.
