Preparation
• Switch off the wheelchair via the remote control.
• Be sure that the freewheel switch is in ‘drive’ mode. If the
freewheel switch is in ‘push’ mode this will make loosening
the bolts impossible.

ground.
Instructions
The following operations are required to replace the 4
carbon brushes:
• Remove the nut/washer and the locking washers of the
drive wheel.
• Remove the drive wheel from the motor axle.
• Loosen the central motor arm screw and remove the motor
arm.
• Remove the mudguards.
•
Loosen the five bolts from motor arm to loosen the motor.
• Unscrew the 4 caps to get access to the carbon brushes.
• Pull the carbon brush out of the housing and remove the
brush.
• Inspect the collector on the anchor of the motor; if the
collector is seriously worn, replace the entire drive unit.
• Place the carbon brush in the holder; this can be done in
one way only.
• Screw the new plastic screw cap onto the carbon brush
holder.
• Mount the motor, mudguard, motor arm and driving wheel
on the carrier.
