MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that power your Jazzy 1113 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.
CAUTION! If the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, a motor will run poorly or
not at all. If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor
damage will result. Failure to maintain the brushes could void the Jazzy 1113’s warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud. See V. “Disassembly” in this manual.
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 37.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear. See figure 38.
5. Replace the brushes, if necessary. Contact your local Pride provider for replacement brushes.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
If the battery indicator gauge does not light up when you turn on the power:
n Check the harness connections. Make sure they are tight.
n Check the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.
n Check the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are
available at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing, and follow the directions that
came with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your Jazzy 1113
still does not power up, contact your local Pride provider.
