cloth against the slip rings until they are clean.
CAUTION
The rotor must be rotated in order to
clean the slip rings evenly.
Cleaning the slip rings by hand
without spinning the rotor may result
in flat spots on the slip rings, causing
brush noise.
Slip rings which are rough or out of round should
be trued in a lathe to .002" maximum indicator
reading. Remove only enough material to make
the rings smooth and round. Finish with 400
grain or finer polishing cloth and blow away all
dust.
