Brush spring tension should be 44.5 to 49 N (10 to 11 lbs). If not, replace the springs before proceeding.

IMPORTANT The O-ring seal can easily be damaged during installation of the commutator end frame. To prevent such damage, install the
O-ring seal as described in the following steps.
A. Install the O-ring seal on the frame, field, and brush holder group so that it is against the shoulder on the field frame. The O-ring seal will
abut the commutator end frame when installed. This is the normal-installed position of the O-ring seal.
B. Carefully roll the O-ring seal out of its normal-installed position up onto the major outer diameter of the field frame. Allow the seal to
remain in this position until the commutator end frame is partially installed.
