MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Of The Motor
This machine has a vacuum motor that uses carbon
brushes. The carbon brushes in the motor must be
checked every three months, or every 500 hours of
operation, whichever comes first. If either of the brushes
is shorter than 3/8 inch, replace both of the carbon
brushes.
How To Check The Commutator And The Carbon

2. Empty both tanks.
3. Unlatch tanks from lower housing.
4. Lift the upper housing from the lower housing.
5. Disconnect the ground wire.
