Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the PL 36-1175 brush box assembly and what does it include?
A: The PL 36-1175 is a complete brush box assembly for electric lift truck starters. It includes carbon brush holders and springs as an integrated unit, designed to handle the brush contact and retention in the starter motor commutator.

Q: Which cross-reference part numbers are interchangeable with the PL 36-1175?
A: The PL 36-1175 is interchangeable with Prestolite 36-1178, 36-1275, 36-67, MDL1064SS, BH1093, 55-6505, S2375, PL13485, 151-20000, 27148, and 82-61530. Verify your specific starter model before substituting part numbers.

Q: Which electric lift truck models accept the PL 36-1175 assembly?
A: The PL 36-1175 is compatible with Prestolite electric lift truck models including 3460, 3464, 3470, 3471, 3472, 3474, 3475, 5008, 5009, 5039, 5042, 5097, 5130, and 5158. It also fits MDT, MDU, MDY, MEC, MEG, MEZ, MFB, and MHN series electric starters.

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.

Q: How do I know if the PL 36-1175 is the right replacement part for my electric lift truck?
A: Check your lift truck model and starter series to ensure compatibility. The PL 36-1175 is designed for Prestolite electric lift truck models including 3460, 3464, 3470, 3471, 3472, 3474, 3475, 5008, 5009, 5039, 5042, 5097, 5130, and 5158.
