Motor Brushes

(at least every 100 hours of
running time). If brushes

time. To remove, unscrew
the brush cap located on
the side of the housing, tip
the hole downward and let
the brush and spring fall
out.

sets (2 brushes and 2
springs) to insure equal ten-
sion. If returning partially
used brushes, match the
curvature of the brushes to

in hole, drop in new spring
and screw on brush cap.

tools, a qualified service
organization or Master

maintenance is required.

Appliance Corp. replace-
ment parts.

ther lubrication.
