Before installation, remove the soft seal with a rag saturated with mineral spirits. Storage If a governor is being stored for any period of time, please refer to Woodward manual 25075, Commercial Preservation Packaging for Storage of Mechanical- Hydraulic Controls.
Failure to provide sufficient overtravel at minimum fuel position can prevent the governor from shutting down the prime mover and result in possible damage to equipment and personal injury. Woodward...
See also Table 5-2 for a satisfactory relationship between governor output shaft travel and butterfly valve travel in a non-linear system. For more information on non-linear linkage, please refer to Woodward Application Note 50516, Governor Linkage for Butterfly Throttle Valves.
Many automotive and gas engine oils, industrial lubricating oils, and other oils of mineral or synthetic origin meet these requirements. Woodward governors are designed to give stable operation with most oils with the viscosity, at the operating temperature, between 50 and 3000 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds).

(140 to 200 °F). The ambient temperature limits are –29 to +93 °C (–20 to +200 °F). Measure the temperature of the governor on the outside lower part of the case. The actual oil temperature will be slightly warmer, approximately 6 °C (10 °F). Woodward...

The needle valve (33) is a variable orifice which controls the flow of oil between both the large (34) and the small dashpot compensation (35) pistons, and the oil sump. Compensation must be properly adjusted to the particular engine and load to provide stable operation (see Chapter 4, Compensation Adjustments). Woodward...

(18). The rate at which the small dashpot compensation piston (35) is returned to normal is controlled by the needle valve adjustment, that is, the rate of flow of oil through the needle valve (33). Woodward...
Compensation Adjustments The compensation needle valve and pointer are adjustable parts of the compensation system. Their settings directly affect governor stability. Compensation must be properly adjusted to the particular engine and load to provide stable operation. Woodward...

Adjust the cams by loosening the screws and turning the cams on the shaft. Tighten the screws again. 19. On governors equipped with solenoid shutdown, please refer to Woodward manual 03013 for set-up procedures. 20. Turn the load limit knob to zero. The load limit indicator must move to zero.
High overspeeds and low underspeeds, or slow return to speed, after a load change or speed setting change, are some of the results of an incorrect setting of the compensating adjustment and needle valve. Woodward...
