blies. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their! guide channels.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, make sure the brushes go back in the

same way they came out. This will avoid a break-ir period

4. Insert new brush assemblies

into guide channels, with the

carbon part going in first,

being certain to fit the two

in the channel (Fig. 22).
