Kohler slip ring replacement guide

[Ryan Wright]

Greg,

To be honest, I'm not sure. I've been told that a bad ground could
cause this, as could a weak spring. Either would cause minor arcing
that would eventually wear the ring down. Also, I'll bet the age of
the thing was also a factor. It's been in service for 22 years.
Although, the ~1800 hours of operation don't seem like an awful lot to
me.

I double checked the tightness on my grounds and replaced the springs.
My bearing appeared tight so I doubt that was the issue, but I
replaced it anyway because I was in there.
