CAUTIONDo not submerge armature, orfield coils in solvent.2. Clean field coils and frame thoroughlywith a cloth dampened with cleaning solvent FederalSpecification P-D-680.Dry thoroughly with comp-ressed air.3. Remove loose particles from arma-ture with compressed air and wipe with a clean clothdampened with cleaning solvent. Clean commutatorlightly with number 00 sandpaper and remove alltraces of dust with low-pressure compressed air.4. Clean brush holders with a brush andcleaning solvent, Federal Specification P-D-680, anddry them thoroughly with compressed air.5. Clean brushes with a clean, dry clothonly. Do not permit cleaning solvent to come in con-tact with the brushes.(b) Inspection.1. Test field coils for insulation break-down with megger connected between frame and onecoil terminal. Minimum resistance reading permis-sible is one megohm.Replace motor assembly if coilis defective.2. Test armature for grounds with a testlight. Touch a test light probe to the armature coreand the other probe to a commutator bar riser. Iftest light glows, armature is grounded. Repeat testfor all commutator bars.3. Test armature for short circuits usinga growler fixture.(4) Repair.(a) Housingandcommutatorendhead.1. Smooth minor scratches burrs, anddents on machined surfaces using a fine mill file.2. Repair damaged threads.(b) Armature.1. Resurface commutator by removing nomore than 0.005 inch during any one cut and no morethan 0.002 inch on final cut. Check that the final dia-meter of commutator is not less than 0. 925 inches.2. If commutator diameter is satisfactory,undercut mica to a depth of 0. 025 to 0. 032 inch belowcommutator surface.NOTEUse care in undercutting. Do not widencommutator slots by removing metal fromsegments, and do not leave thin edge ofmica next to segment.3. After the mica has been undercut,remove all copper and mica particles with compressedair.Polish the commutator in a lathe with number2/0 sandpaper while the armature is rotating at 1500rpm. After polishing the armature, check that com-mutator diameter is not less than 0. 925 inches. Re-place if diameter is less.4. After repair work has been completed,repeat steps 2 and 3 of e(3)(a) above.(c) Fieldcoilassembly.1. Smooth minor scratches, burrs, andnicks on machined surfaces of frame using fine millfile.2. Repair damaged threads in frame.3. Replace motor assembly if field coilinsulation resistance is less than one megohm.(5) Reassembly.Reassemble fan and mot orassembly in reverse order of disassembly.(6) Benchtests.(a) Energize the fan motor with 115 Vdc.(b) Check the speed of the armature on thetachometer.Minimum speed should be 3600 rpm.(c) Check the current draw on the ammeter.Maximum current draw should be 1.8 amperes.(7) Installation.Refer to Operator and Organ-izational Maintenance Manual and install the fan andmotor assembly.f.
