IMPORTANT: Do not use grease dissolving sol-
vents to clean electrical components, planetary
gears, or drive. Solvent will damage insulation
and wash the lubricant out of the drive and gears.
Use clean rags and compressed air to clean com-
ponents.

With continuity meter, place one lead on arma-
ture core or shaft and other lead on commutator.
Inspect all roller bearing surfaces for wear.Check
that bearings roll freely. If any roughness is felt,
replace bearings.

Armature Tests
TEST FOR SHORTS
Check armature for shorts by placing on growler and
holding hack saw blade over armature core while ro-
tating armature. If saw blade vibrates, armature is
shorted. After cleaning between commutator bars,
recheck. If saw blade still vibrates, replace arma-
ture.
