Governor

The gear-driven centrifugal type governor serves to keep engine speed constant by automatically adjusting the amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to changes in load.

Lubrication

Lubricate governor linkage at the specified interval using white lithium grease or lubriplate.

Governor Adjustment

The gear-driven centrifugal type governor serves to keep engine speed constant by automatically adjusting the amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to changes in load. No regular service is required on the unit. The governor is adjusted during run-in at the factory and further adjustment should not be needed unless greatly varying load conditions are encountered or if poor governor control develops after extended usage. See Figure 3-25 for correct placement of governor linkage (models may vary).

60 Hz generator sets are designed to operate at 60-63 Hz, 3600 rpm under full load and 3780 rpm under no load. 50 Hz generator sets are designed to operate at 50--52.5 Hz, 3000 rpm under full load and 3150 rpm under no load. To check speed, use hand tachometer or frequency meter. Use the following procedure to adjust governor.

1.Loosen governor arm locking nut. See Figure 3-24.

2.Move the governor arm end fully in the direction shown (toward the electric choke solenoid) and readjust governor screw. Tighten locking nut.

3.Start engine and run to reach operating temperature.

4.Apply full load and turn engine speed adjustment screw to 3600 rpm for 60 Hz generator set, 3000 rpm for 50 Hz set.

5.Check regulation by applying and removing full load.

6.STOP generator set.
