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. However, if the brushes become dirty with carbon
deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud.
2. Disconnect the batteries.
3. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 29.
4. Remove the brushes.
5. Inspect for wear. See figure 30.
6. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorized Pride Provider
for replacement brushes.
CAUTION! If an inspection determines excessive
wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor
damage will result. Failure to maintain the brushes
could void your Jazzy’s warranty.
When to See Your Authorized Pride Provider for Service
The following symptoms could indicate a serious problem with your
Jazzy. If necessary, contact your authorized Pride Provider. When
calling, have the model number, serial number, nature of the problem,
and the trouble code if available.
n Motor noise
n Frayed harnesses
n Cracked or broken connectors
n Uneven wear on any of the tires
n Jerky motion
n Pulling to one side
n Bent or broken wheel assemblies
n Does not power up
n Powers up, but does not move
Corrective Maintenance
If the battery condition meter 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 come with the load
tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your Jazzy still does not power up, contact
your authorized Pride Provider.
