Brush Spring Inspection
13. Insert the brush (A) into the brush holder, and bring the brush into contact with the commutator, then attach a spring scale (B) to the spring (C).
Measure the spring tension at the moment the spring lifts off the brush. If the spring tension is not within specification, replace the spring.
14. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then position the brush about halfway out of its holder. Release the spring to hold in place.
NOTE: To seat new brushes, slip a strip of # 500 or # 600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between the commutator and each brush, and
smoothly rotate the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
