TEST, CHECK, AND/OR
REMEDY
D. Refer to connection and sche-
matic diagram in Chapter 6 and
apply 12-V DC to the two
actuator input lead terminals.
Actuator lever should move im-
mediately to full speed position.
If lever does not move, replace
actuator.
E. Refer to connection and sche-
matic diagram in Chapter 6 and
connect a DC voltmeter to the
controller's terminal strip. Start
the engine and manually control
engine speed. At speeds below
governed speed, the voltmeter
should indicate within two (2) volts
of the system voltage. If voltage
is at near zero, turn speed
adjusting screw several turns
clockwise to be sure speed
setting is not too low because
of tampering. If voltage
remains low or at zero, replace
controller. Refer to governor
instruction booklet in Chapter 6
for controller bench tests and
adjustments.
A. Turn speed control adjust-
ing screw fully counterclock-
wise. Start engine. Place con-
trol switch (15, Fig. 1) in GEN
position. If engine speed is
now well below governed
speed, turn adjusting screw
clockwise until correct speed
(2000 RPM, 400-Hz) is attained.
If engine still goes to over-
speed, proceed to Step B.
B. Check governor linkage and
actuator for sticking or
binding in full-speed position.
Repair as required.
C. Replace controller. Check
it in accordance with governor
instruction booklet in Chapter 6.
