Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 998646 brush set and what does it do?
A: CL 998646 is a carbon brush set for DC electric motors in lift trucks. It maintains electrical contact with the motor commutator to deliver power and enable continuous rotation for lift and drive operations.
Q: What electric lift truck equipment is compatible with CL 998646 brushes?

Q: How do CL 998646 brushes differ from other brush sets?
A: Brush differences lie in size, carbon grade, copper content, and wire lead configuration. CL 998646 is engineered for specific motor types and commutator dimensions. Using the wrong brush set causes poor contact, motor stalling, or commutator damage.
Q: What is the lifespan of CL 998646 brushes?
