The SprayTech 978-050 Motor Brush Repair Kit contains the carbon brushes and associated components necessary for maintaining electrical contact in the motors of compatible PowrLiner series sprayer models.
Motor brushes are consumable components that gradually wear down through normal operation as they maintain electrical contact with the motor's commutator. Worn brushes can cause poor motor performance, sparking, intermittent operation, or complete motor failure. Regular inspection and replacement of brushes helps ensure reliable motor operation and extends the overall service life of the sprayer.

|---|---|
| Current transfer | Enables power flow from stationary to rotating motor components |
| Wear management | Designed to wear predictably while protecting the commutator |
| Brush length | Brushes worn to near minimum specified length |
|---|---|
| Motor issues | Poor performance, sparking, or intermittent operation |
| Visible wear | Cracking, chipping, or uneven wear patterns |
