Call your Authorized NSS Distributor / Service
Station to have the following services performed.
Verify that all daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly
maintenance has been performed.
Inspect Pad Motor carbon brushes for wear.
Using compressed air, blow the accumulated carbon
brush dust out of the motor.
Remove the motor cover and guard to expose the
carbon brushes.
Replace carbon brush when they measure ½" [13mm]
or less in length.
Failure to replace carbon brushes will cause poor
machine performance and possible motor damage.
Check the condition of the batteries.
A battery may be checked using a Hydrometer to
check the specific gravity (strength) of the acid in
each cell. Variations in readings occur due to the
chemical reaction taking place during use.
Always check the specific gravity when the battery is
fully charged.
When the batteries are fully charged, the specific
gravity should be between 1.265 and 1.300.
Consult your local distributor and replace batteries as
needed.
Battery Removal:
Turn off all switches. Disconnect battery pack from
the machine.
Remove the battery cables from the batteries.
