2. Grind
the commutator with emery paper (#300) if it
is lightly worn.
3. Measure the
commutator O.D. with an external
micrometer at several points.
NOTE
• If the
minimum O.D. is less than the service
limit, replace the armature assembly.
• If the difference of the O.D.'s more than the
service limit, correct the commutator on a
lathe to the service specification.
