Models 8901-037, -043, and -051 (Figures 1-3, 2-1, and 2-2) Refer to the general rules at the beginning of this section. Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show locations of inlet and outlet ports on Woodward governors with which a single-cylinder booster can be used. Figure 1-3 shows locations of ports and the stroke limit screw on a single-cylinder booster.
Connect a line with an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the air inlet on the booster. Plug the unused oil outlet(s) and air inlet (these plugs are delivered with the booster). Fill the governor with oil to the correct level (refer to the installation manual for the governor). Woodward...
Tighten the plug in outlet #2. Connect a line with an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the air inlet on the booster. Fill the governor with oil to the correct level (refer to the installation manual of the governor). Woodward...

Turn the stroke limit screw clockwise to reduce the volume of oil to the governor and fuel to the engine, and counterclockwise to increase volume. Turn the needle valve clockwise to reduce the rate and volume of oil flow, and counterclockwise to increase the rate and volume. Woodward...
The booster is ready to start again. Check valves in the oil outlets prevent oil from flowing back through the oil outlets into the booster. Figure 3-2. Single Booster, Phase 2 Woodward...
The stroke limit screw limits the stroke of the main booster piston, which limits the total amount of oil supplied to the governor by the booster. Check valves prevent oil from flowing from the booster into the governor's sump. Woodward...
Spring forces return the main booster piston and shuttle piston to their original positions. Reduced pressure in the booster causes sump oil to flow back into the booster. Check valves prevent oil from flowing into the booster from the oil outlet lines. Woodward...
Figures 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3 and their associated parts lists illustrate and name all the replaceable parts of the various booster servomotors. The numbers assigned are used as reference numbers and are not specific Woodward part numbers. Woodward will determine the exact part number for your particular booster.
A Recognized Turbine Retrofitter (RTR) is an independent company that does both steam and gas turbine control retrofits and upgrades globally, and can provide the full line of Woodward systems and components for the retrofits and overhauls, long term service contracts, emergency repairs, etc.
Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like- new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
