a speed adjusting screw to adjust the position of the governor speed adjusting 

lever. 

Figure 7-5. Speed Adjusting Motor and Manual Speed Adjustment 

If the speed adjusting motor has been allowed to run after low speed 

setting has been reached, it may take a period of time for the speed 

adjusting screw to turn in and make contact with the speed adjusting 

lever when an increase in speed setting is required. 

Speed can also be increased or decreased by the slotted speed setting 

adjustment located on the front of the governor. Turn the speed setting 

adjustment clockwise to increase speed setting, and counterclockwise to 

decrease speed setting. The high and low speed stops will limit speed 

adjustments. 

Load Limit Assembly 

The slotted load limit adjustment is located on front of the governor cover, and is 

set manually to a position of 0 to 10 on the load limit dial. Turning the load limit 

adjustment clockwise rotates an eccentric cam, limiting fuel at a higher level. 

Turning the adjustment counter-clockwise limits fuel at a lower level.
