HYDRAULIC GOVERNORS
be placed between the base of the governor and the mounting pad on the
engine.

If the governor is equipped with a serrated drive shaft, it

should slip into the internal serrations of the drive freely enough to
drop into place of its own weight.

CAUTION:

DO NOT DROP OR REST THE GOVERNOR ON ITS DRIVE SHAFT.

If a keyed type governor drive shaft is used, the gear placed on
this shaft should be checked to insure that it is meshing properly.
There should be neither excessive backlash nor binding,

Irregularities

caused by uneven gear teeth, shaft runout, etc., will be picked up by
the governor, transmitted to the fuel control system, and will result
in erratic governing.
Since the load limit device operates hydraulically rather than
mechanically the load indicating pointer position cannot be changed by
turning the load limit control unless the governor is running (or has

oil pressure in its accumilators).

When installing governor the terminal

shaft must be rotated by a lever in order to obtain no fuel (zero load)
position,

CAUTION:

DO NOT MANUALLY FORCE ENGINE LINKAGE TO INCREASE FUEL

WITHOUT FIRST TURNING LOAD LIMIT KNOB TO 10,
The linkage from the governor terminal shaft to the fuel control
system should be free from lost motion or excessive friction.

It is

often desirable to install a light spring acting to decrease fuel for
the purpose of taking up lost motion due to wear.

Avoid exceeding the

working capacity of the governor by using too strong a spring.
