A: The PL 36-1175 is a complete brush box assembly for electric lift truck starters and DD series applications. It includes carbon brush holders and springs as an integrated unit. This assembly handles the brush contact and retention in the starter motor commutator.
Q: Which cross-reference part numbers are interchangeable with the PL 36-1175?

Q: Which electric lift truck models accept the PL 36-1175 assembly?
A: The PL 36-1175 is compatible with MDT, MDU, MDY, MEC, MEG, MEZ, MFB, and MHN series electric starters. It also fits lift truck models 3460, 3464, 3470, 3471, 3472, 3474, 3475, 5008, 5009, 5039, 5042, 5097, 5130, and 5158.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate that the PL 36-1175 brush box assembly needs replacement?
A: Watch for starter sluggish cranking, loss of electrical contact, intermittent starter engagement, or visible carbon dust accumulation inside the starter housing. Worn carbon brushes or broken springs inside the brush box will prevent reliable current flow to the motor commutator.
Q: Can the springs in the PL 36-1175 be replaced separately or must the entire assembly be renewed?
A: The PL 36-1175 is sold as a complete assembled unit with springs and brush holders integrated. Individual spring or brush replacement is not recommended; replace the entire assembly when springs lose tension or brushes wear below acceptable limits.
