Carbon Brush Wear: Disconnect power cord before
checking for brush wear. Check for brush wear
about every 1000 hours or after approximately one
year of continuous operation. To access the motor,
the cover of the unit needs to be removed. Turn the
unit over and remove the screws embedded in the
four rubber feet. The brush tubes are located under
the two protective caps on the motor. Remove them
with a standard screw driver blade, unscrew the
brush tube caps, check the brush length, and install
new brushes if the old ones are less then 1/4
″
(6mm) in overall length. Be sure the radius in the
end of the brush is in line and conforms to the com-
mutator surface. Replacement brushes are available
from your dealer or the factory. To order the correct
replacement motor brushes, find the part number
on your Arch Trimmer’s motor. See listing below:
