Lube to silence blower squeal. Where?..

[Pat]

Stephen

Pull the back of the plastic cowling off (closest to engine).
Prop it up so you can access the fan motor housing.
On the white housing the fan motor is in, you will
see a thin rubber hose(bent 90 degrees). This will be on the
drivers side of housing.  Remove the hose and take a light
and you will see one of the brushes in the hole. Squirt some
WD40 or similar onto the brush assembly. Then take a very
small screwdriver and push the brush down onto the armature.

Hope this helps.
