REPLACING THE BRUSH HUBS AND SKID SHOE
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, always
wear heavy gloves when handling the brushes.
Both brush hubs and the skid shoe should be replaced at the same
time, as they will wear evenly through normal use.
Removing the Old Brush Hubs
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. Tip the unit back so that it rests upon the shaft grip.
NOTE: To aid the removal process, it may be necessary to wash dirt
off the brush hubs and related hardware.
3. While holding a brush bolt in place with a 1/2 inch wrench, use
another 1/2 inch wrench to loosen the corresponding brush nut
(Fig. 5).
4. Remove the brush bolt and brush nut. Slide the brush hub off
the output shaft (Fig. 6).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the opposite side.
