You do have to run it a bit to get the brushes to fully seat. Does not really effect its operation much - just sounds....

It's a good idea not to run the motor much at full power until the brushes have a chance to seat.

I did go full power a little bit just for a couple little stretches and then I parked it. So should be ok. Is there a way to tell if they have seated yet? |

Re: Is there a break in period with new motors?
This break-in procedure is included with Admiral MOT motors.
How to Break-In an Electric Motor The break-in process is simple to perform. Drive 6-10 miles at various speeds, go easy on the acceleration and the motor will last a long time. 1. Drive the cart on pavement. Accelerate slowly. Maintain full speed for 5-10 minutes then stop to check the motor temperature. 2. Check the motor temperature every (10) minutes for the first half an hour by touching the center section (red) followed by the aluminum bell end (silver). If the aluminum end bell is too hot to touch, stop and let it cool. If you can hold your hand on the motor for more than (5) seconds, drive a few more miles and recheck the temperature. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the 6-10 mile break-in period is complete and the motor is running cooler. NOTE: The speed and torque will increase as the brushes make better contact with the commutator. The cooler motor will run more efficiently so the cart can be driven at a normal speed. |
