MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that power your Jazzy 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 supply
power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. But if the brushes become
dirty with carbon deposits or 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 1143 runs poorly. If inspection
determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will result.
NOTE: Failure to maintain the brushes could void the Jazzys warranty.
