WARNING: Overspeed Is Hazardous!
The maximum allowable speed for Models K241
through K341 is 3600 RPM, no load. Never tamper
with the governor setting to increase the maximum
speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the
engine or equipment can result if operated at
speeds above the established maximum.
Adjust the governed speed of these models as
follows. Refer to Figure 6-48.
1 . Start the engine and allow a short warmup pe-
riod.
2. Open the throttle fully and check engine speed
with a tachometer. Speed should be approxi-
mately 3600 RPM.
3. If speed is not correct, loosen the capscrew
on the high speed stop bracket and adjust the
bracket to achieve the required speed.
4. Tighten the high speed stop bracket screw.
