d
(d)
Connect ohmmeter probes to diode trio panel leads #8 and #1. If ohmmeter needle deflects and
then climbs to HIGH resistance (100,000 ohms or higher), then capacitor is acceptable. If needle
does not deflect, then reverse test probes. If needle defects and then climbs to HIGH resistance
then capacitor is acceptable. If needle does not deflect, or if it shows LOW resistance (less than
100,000 ohms), then capacitor is defective and diode trio/brush holder assembly must be
replaced.
(e)
Connect ohmmeter probes to diode trio panel leads #8 and #1. If ohmmeter needle deflects and
then climbs to HIGH resistance (100,000 ohms or higher), then capacitor is acceptable. If needle
does not deflect, then reverse test probes. If needle deflects and then climbs to HIGH resistance
then capacitor is acceptable. If needle does not deflect, or if it shows LOW resistance (less than
100,000 ohms), then capacitor is defective and diode trio/brush holder assembly must be
replaced.
(f)
Inspect leads #8, #10, and #11. Replace defective leads.
18.
Inspect brushes. If brushes are burned, cracked, or broken or if they are less than 3/16" long, then
diode trio/brush holder assembly must be replaced.
(a) Inspect brush holder. If it appears damaged, replace diode trio/brush holder assembly.
(b) Press each of the two brushes all the way into the brush holder, then allow them to return to their
original position. Replace diode trio/brush holder assembly if any of the following conditions
exist:
(1) either brush does not move freely in and out of brush holder
(2) little or no spring tension is noted
