00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,667
<b>Caution:</b> When installing new brushes, use the recommended grade.

2
00:00:04,667 --> 00:00:07,083
Do not mix brush grades.

3
00:00:07,083 --> 00:00:15,708
Mixing grades in the same alternator or changing to another grade can seriously affect the collector-ring surface film and result in short brush life.

4
00:00:15,708 --> 00:00:19,708
Typical steps to install a brush are as follows:

5
00:00:19,708 --> 00:00:28,500
1. Insert each brush into a brush holder so that the contour of the brush or its riding surface matches that of the collector ring.

6
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:35,250
2. Position the pigtail terminal under the terminal screw and parallel to the brush pressure arm.

7
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:45,083
3. Tighten the terminal screw, and torque it to 6-8 lb.-ft. (8.13-10.85 Nm).

8
00:00:45,083 --> 00:00:51,250
4. Latch the brush pressure spring thumb loop over the detent in the brush holder body.

9
00:00:51,250 --> 00:01:02,917
5. Dress the pigtail leads such that the pigtail wires do not interfere with the action of the pressure arm, rub against each other, or rub against adjacent brush holders.

10
00:01:02,917 --> 00:01:07,500
<b>Note: </b>Ensure that the pigtails clear the pressure arm by gently pressing them.
