Cleaning the motor compartment of SS from brush dust.

[elan]

We were doing some preventive maintenance of my friends SS UV-26 and as one of the things we wanted to do it to blow the motor compartment to clean it from the brush dust.

But we found no obvious way of accessing the compartment except for the vacuum testing hole. There are not apparent bolts to unscrew, the see-through window seems to be "glued" and we see no apparent way of taking it off.

On a Gavin you just pop the launches and it all becomes accessible.

Does anyone know if it can be done without sending the motor to the manufacturer ?


Thanks a lot.

UV26 brushless ? Do not think so.
They introduced the brushless in magnus 950 in 2010 last time i checked on their site.

What I gather from that is more recent SS scooters (2006) don't have significant carbon buildup.

The cover is not glued. Remove the plug and it'll come up, it's just tight for water tightness.

Is there an o-ring underneath ? We were trying to do it gently but as we were not sure we did not want to force it.

I will let him do it, it's his scooter

Yeah I saw that but still it builds up... I believe the motor has never been cleaned before, at least from what he said.

After confirming that we managed to take it out. It does have an o-ring in the groove, it was fairly tight so it was not obvious ... Thanks everyone.
