    Study Notes

    Starting Circuit Inspection

    • The starting circuit should be inspected regularly, with the frequency determined by the amount of service and operating conditions.
    • The battery and wiring should be checked during inspection.

    Battery Inspection

    • Check the battery for a fully charged condition.
    • Verify the electrolyte level is proper and use approved water.
    • Ensure terminals are clean.

    Wiring Inspection

    • Check all connections are clean and tight.
    • Verify wiring insulation is sound.

    Brush Inspection

    • Check brushes slide freely in their holders and make full contact on the commutator.
    • Replace brushes when worn to one-half of their original length.

    Commutator Inspection

    • Check the commutator for uneven wear, excessive glazing, or evidence of excessive arcing.
    • Clean the commutator with No. 00 or No. 000 sandpaper if slightly dirty, glazed, or discolored.
    • Turn the commutator in a lathe and undercut the mica if rough or worn.

    Armature Shaft Inspection

    • Inspect the armature shaft for rough bearing surfaces.

    Brush Installation

    • Properly seat new brushes by wrapping No. 00 sandpaper around the commutator and turning the armature slowly in the direction of normal rotation.
    • Clean sanding dust from the motor after sanding operations.
