Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Trolley Towing Arm

- check for proper alignment as 90% of
problems
is caused by misaligned
collectors!

False mounting

Correct Mounting

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Carbon Brushes
- Wear marks
- Rough Spots

Brushes touch the interior parts of PVC housing and

gets stuck eventually. This can cause contact loss.
