CHECKING/REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
WARNING: Disconnect the machine from the power supply
before attempting to check or replace the carbon brushes.
Replace both carbon brushes if either has less than 6mm
length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is
damaged or burned.
To remove the brushes:
• Unscrew the plastic caps found at the back of the motor.
Be careful as the caps are spring-loaded.
• Withdraw the brushes with their springs.
• If replacement is necessary renew the brushes and replace
the caps.
Note: Used but serviceable brushes can be replaced, but only
as long as they are returned to the same position, and inserted
the same way round, as they were removed from the machine.
• Run new brushes without load for approximately 5 minutes.
This will help the bedding-in process.
TRANSPORTATION/STORAGE
For ease and convenience, when transporting or storing the
machine, the cutting head can be held in the 'down' position.
To hold the cutting head down:
• Lower the cutting head to its lowest position.
• Hook the requisite link of the lock down chain over the lock
down hook.
