MOTOR BRUSHES
NOTE
:
Failure to maintain the motor brushes could void your Jazzy 1400’s warranty.
The electric motors that power your Jazzy 1400 use carbon brushes. These brushes may become susceptible
to wear over a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly
that transfer power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. However,
if the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or if the brushes wear out, the motor will run poorly or not
at all. We recommend that your authorised Pride provider inspect the brushes every six months, or sooner
if your Jazzy 1400 runs poorly. If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be
replaced or motor damage will result.
