(8) Pour approximately one pint of engine lubricating oil (item 8, Appendix C) in the top of the governor to

provide initial governor lubrication.

and install cover screws (2). Tighten the screws securely.

Adjustment.

NOTE

Refer to paragraph 3-34 and adjust injector rack before adjusting the governor. (1) Refer to figure 3-22 and

loosen the load limit adjusting screw locknut and adjust the screw to obtain a distance of approximately 2

inches from the outside face of the boss on the governor sub-cap to the end of the screw.

(2) Place the fuel rod and terminal lever in the full-fuel position.

(3) Turn the load limit screw until a .020 inch space exists between the fuel rod collar and the terminal lever,

then hold the screw and tighten the locknut.

(4) Start the engine and operate at approximately one-half the rated no-load speed until the lubricating oil has

had an opportunity to warm up.

NOTE

When the engine lubricating oil is cold, the governor regulation may be erratic. The regulation should

become increasingly stable as the temperature of the lubricating oil increases. (5) Stop the engine and

remove the governor cover.
