27. Install governor arm (41), pivot shaft (42), new O-ring seals (43), and nuts (44). Tighten nuts to a torque of 2 to 3 N·m (18 to 27 lb in).

NOTE: When assembling the pivot shaft, make sure the knife edge mates with the groove in the governor arm.

28. The hydraulic head and rotor assembly including the transfer pump assembly, cam ring, and governor assembly, are now ready to put into the housing. Install a new seal (45) on the hydraulic head after first greasing it slightly. Apply a light film of clean grease around the inside edge of the housing and tilt the housing slightly downward at the rear to aid in assembly. Rotate the cam ring so that the unthreaded hole is in line with the metering valve bore. This will insure proper position of the cam ring. Grasp the hydraulic head firmly in both hands and insert it into the housing bore with a slight rotary motion. Do not force. If the assembly should jam during insertion, withdraw, and start over.

NOTE: Exercise care not to insert the head assembly too far into the housing. Pushing the head in too far will damage the seal on the hydraulic head and result in leakage. Turn drive shaft if needed to align tang with slot in head.

29. Rotate head assembly until the head locking screw holes line up with there corresponding holes in the housing. Install two head locking screws (46) finger tight.
