Note: Do not connect an oil supply line to the dual horsepower mechanism when the following procedure is performed. Make sure that the setscrew for the dual horsepower mechanism is removed.

Thread the adjusting tool into hole (7) that is for the dual horsepower setscrew (1). The low horsepower setting will be fully engaged when the setscrew bottoms out in hole (7) .

Remove the plug from access hole (A) for the load stop. Loosen the low idle adjustment screw. Loosen the throttle stop adjustment screw. Both screws should be backed out so the end of the screw is not extending past the face of the governor housing.

Connect the spring that holds the throttle against the throttle stop.

Use a 1U-7299 Rack Adjusting Wrench and a 1U-7300 Hex Wrench to loosen the adjustment screw for the load stop. Loosen the adjustment screw for the load stop until the screw is backed out completely.

Turn the power switch on the calibration bench to the ON position.

Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the "LOAD STOP ADJ" rpm that is specified in the TMI. Check the output dimension for the "LOAD STOP ADJ" that is specified in the TMI.

Tighten the locknut on the adjustment screw for the load stop and check the "LOAD STOP ADJ" dimension again.

Increase the speed of the calibration bench by a minimum of 100 rpm. Then reduce the speed back to the original "LOAD STOP ADJ" rpm. Check the output dimension for the "LOAD STOP ADJ" again. If the dimension is not within the tolerance that is specified in the TMI, repeat Step 9.

Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the "FUNC CHECK #2" rpm that is specified in the TMI. Output must be within specifications.

Remove the 1U-7431 Adjusting Tool from the dual horsepower mechanism and install the dual horsepower setscrew.

Use a 1U-7299 Rack Adjusting Wrench and a 1U-7300 Hex Wrench to loosen the high horsepower setscrew. Loosen the high horsepower setscrew until the screw is backed out completely.

With the governor in high horsepower mode, complete all of the other governor adjustments. These adjustments include the high horsepower setscrew adjustment, the low idle screw adjustment, and the throttle stop screw adjustment. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Governor (Type VII) - Adjust" section for the adjustment procedures.
Note: Do not adjust the low horsepower setscrew during the high horsepower adjustment procedures. If the low horsepower setscrew is adjusted, the high horsepower setscrew will also need to be adjusted.
