Resistor AssemblyHBF2 Models Only perform this check after completing Motor Tube Wiringl ResistorHBF2 Models checks rn 1field, andtwo thru-bolts and remove motor armature brush Remove drive-end head, motor motor armatureDo not lose
springs2Use an ohmmeter calibrated on high ohms scale or continuity light to test continuity
rn 3Connect one meter lead to top starboard brush wire in
adapter housingLeave this lead on the brush wire for all of the following tests
4Connect other ohmmeter lead alternately to GREENI WHITE, GREEN, and RED wires at speed control switch terminals "3", 114", and "2": Meter must show continuity with each lead If any lead shows no continuity, repair wire, or replace complete adapter housing, resistor coils, and wires
rn 5Connect second meter lead to adapter housing:
Meter must show no continuity If meter shows continuity, repair wire, or replace complete adapter housing, resistor coils, and wires6Repeat Steps and with an ohmmeter calibrated on the low ohms scaleCheck resistance values of wires and resistorsThe resistance values in Step should be: Speed LOW MED HIGH Terminal Color GreenWhite Green Red Resistance
