Installation Adjustments

When the governor linkage adjustments are correct, the following adjustments should be made.

1. Position the speed adjusting shaft for desired running speed and allow the engine to warm up. Where the governor is equipped with a synchronizing motor, knurled knob (1) can be turned to adjust engine speed.


INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS (D330C and D333C Engines Illustrated)
1. Knurled knob. 2. Lever.


INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS (G333C Engine Illustrated)
2. Lever.

2. Open the compensating needle valve (3) two or three turns and allow the engine to hunt or surge for about one-half minute to bleed trapped air from the governor oil passages.


COMPENSATING NEEDLE VALVE
3. Location of needle valve.

3. Gradually close the needle valve until hunting just stops. Closing the needle valve farther than necessary will make the governor slow to return to normal speed after a load change.

4. Test action by moving lever (2) manually to override governor control. Release the lever and engine should return promptly to original steady speed with only a small overshoot.

Low and High Idle Adjustment

Before making this adjustment the installation adjustment should be made, and if done correctly, it will never require changing unless the governor is disturbed.

High idle (maximum speed) settings are made by adjustment of stop screw (2) in the governor body.

1. Install an accurate tachometer.

2. Loosen the locknut and screw (2).

3. With the engine running at full speed, turn high speed stop screw until the correct rpm is indicated on the tachometer.

4. Tighten the locknut.


LOW AND HIGH IDLE ADJUSTMENTS (D330C and D333C Engines Illustrated)
1. Knurled knob. 2. Stop screw.

Low idle (minimum speed) is controlled by the synchronizing motor mounted on the governor cover. The motor requires a source of electric power. If the source of power is from the engine on which the governor is mounted, the engine low idle speed should be that indicated in the RACK SETTING INFORMATION. When the engine speed is too slow to supply electric power, the electric motor will not run. Turn knurled knob (1) to increase engine speed so the generator will supply power.

Speed Droop Adjustment

Adjustment is made on the inside of the governor after removing the cover on which the synchronizing motor is mounted.


SPEED DROOP ADJUSTMENT
1. Clamp screw. 2. Adjusting bracket. 3. Speed droop lever. 4. Terminal shaft.

1. Loosen clamp screw (1).

2. Move speed droop adjusting bracket (2) toward terminal shaft (4) for minimum droop.

NOTE: Zero droop position may be set by trial and error on the engine or by use of a dial indicator on the speed droop lever (3) during manual rotation of the terminal shaft (4).

NOTE: When speed droop is required, adjust position of bracket (2) and test by running engine. Readjust until the desired speed droop is obtained.

HOLDING SPRING SEAT WITH 1P87 ADJUSTING WRENCH TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT

5. If the pilot valve plunger is too low, hold the spring seat (6) with 1P87 Adjusting Wrench and turn the pilot valve counterclockwise to raise it. If the pilot valve plunger is too high, hold the spring seat and turn the pilot valve clockwise to lower it.

6. When the pilot valve appears to be centered, tighten the locknut (4) on the spring seat, recheck the valve setting.

7. The 1/16 in. pipe plug can now be installed, using a 8H5137 Sealing Compound to prevent leakage of oil.

Output Shaft Governor

Testing And Adjusting

9S8521 Rod.9S8518 Plug.8S4627 Circuit Tester.1P2385 Protractor Tool.

Four adjustments must be made: 1: linkage adjustment. 2: low speed setting. 3: high speed setting. 4: regulation, and surge. For any given output shaft governor setting, the regulation is the range or spread between the torque converter output shaft speed at no load and the output shaft speed at full load, with the diesel engine governor control, in the full open position.

The torque converter output shaft maximum speed is either a high speed setting or a low speed setting, which is determined by changing the position of the speed change lever (4), normally by remote control. The high speed screw (9) determines the maximum speed for the high speed setting, and the low speed screw (8) determines the maximum low speed setting. Consult the operator's manual for the equipment in which the engine is installed to ascertain the maximum permissible output shaft speed for the driven equipment.

NOTE: Perform the first nine steps with the engine stopped.

1. Terminal lever. 2. Rate adjusting screw. 3. Adjustable rod. 4. Speed change lever. 5. Governor spring. 6. Bumper screw. 7. Rocker shaft lever. 8. Low speed adjusting screw. 9. High speed adjusting screw. 10. Bracket.

1. Disconnect the adjustable rod (3) from the terminal lever (1) and the other adjustable linkage (15) between the servo mechanism and standard governor.

2. Position the speed change lever (4) with low and high speed adjusting screws (8) and (9) so the rate adjusting screw (2) and the governor spring (5) are approximately parallel to rocker shaft lever (7).

NOTE: A remote control may be attached to the lower portion of speed change lever (4). If so, disconnect it.

3. Turn the rate adjusting screw until a slight tension is maintained on the governor spring. This will position the governor weights in the closed position.

4. Adjust linkage rod (3) between terminal lever (1) and servo boost mechanism so that it moves .08 in. (2,03 mm) before lever (16) starts to move. Install rod (3).

5. Retract the speed limiter with a 9S8521 Rod and 9S8518 Plug and move the governor control to full speed position.

6. Rotate shutoff shaft external lever (14) until shutoff internal lever (13) contacts the rack stop collar (12). This can be determind by use of circuit tester connected to the insulated terminal (11).

7. Adjust the linkage (15) to fit lever holes when shutoff external lever contacts rack stop collar (12). Then increase linkage (15) length .06 in. (1,52 mm) and install the linkage.

8. Back out bumper screw (6) until approximately 3/4 inch of the screw is protruding from the governor housing.

NOTE: Illustrated here are three basic usages of 1P2385 Protractor Tool.

A-Angle setting indicator. B-Protractor plate edge aligned with lever. C-Vertical housing face and extension arm alignment. D-Level bubble. E-Angle setting indicator. F-Extension arm aligned with lever. G-Extension arm aligned with lever. H-Plate edge aligned with second lever. I-Angle setting indicator.

9. Fill the output shaft governor to the proper level with SAE 30 lubricating oil. The proper level can be checked by removing the small oil plug located in the drive cable end of the governor housing.

10. Start the diesel engine. After a reasonable warm-up period move the diesel engine governor control lever to the full open position.

11. Adjust the output shaft speed to the maximum desired low speed with the aid of the speed adjusting screw (8). Turn the screw clockwise to raise the speed and counterclockwise to lower the speed.

12. If a surging condition is encountered, back off the nut on the rate adjusting screw one full turn. Turn the low speed adjusting screw clockwise to return the output shaft speed to the desired rpm. Continue this procedure until all surge is removed. If it is not possible to remove all surge, set the governor at the setting which will produce the least amount of surge and remove the remaining surge by turning the bumper screw clockwise until it just makes contact with the rocker yoke.


NOTICE

Turning the bumper screw in beyond this point will raise the output shaft speed and eventually damage the internal parts of the governor. The bumper screw should not be used to remove speed surges of greater than 50 rpm. Turning the low speed adjusting screw clockwise will increase the leverage of the governor spring (5) on the lever (7) and increase speed, with the result that minimum tension on the spring is now required. This adjustment will provide the most sensitive regulation. When the load is removed suddenly, the engine should not surge in excess of four (4) cycles. When the load is gradually removed, no surge should be evident.


13. With the output shaft running at the desired speed setting, turn the high speed adjusting screw (9) until the end of the screw contacts the stop bracket (10). Lock the high speed screw in this position.

14. Adjustment of the low speed adjustment screw (8) should be made to return the setting to the desired low speed adjustment.

Pressure Regulating Valve Adjustments

The regulator can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw (1) located on top of the chamber. Disconnect the regulator from the control valve. With the regulator connected to the air supply line, connect an 8M2885 Pressure Gauge to the regulator outlet (3) and check the pressure. In cold weather it may be necessary to raise the pressure delivered by the regulator. The pressure should not exceed 90 to 110 psi (6,2 to 7,7 kg/cm2). After the pressure has been set, install the regulator.

Place shims (5) between the bearing (4) and spacer (2) so there will be .002 in. (0,05 mm) clearance between the rotor (1) and the end plate (3).

Heating the gear will aid installation. Tighten the nut and check the adjustment. Measure end play between rotor and end plate assembly by using a thickness gauge.

If rotor shaft end play is not correct, the thickness gauge is used to determine how many shims (5) should be removed or added to obtain correct clearance. Upon assembly fill gear compartment with lubricant.


CHECKING ROTOR SHAFT END PLAY

Hydraulic Starting

Hydraulic starting system adapting hardware parts and main components are serviced. The service information and tools for main components are available from manufacturer of the components.

------ WARNING! ------

Do not attempt to disconnect lines or remove plugs in the system until the oil pressure in the system has been exhausted. Failure to heed this warning can result in the sudden release of oil under pressure as high as 1625 psi (114,2 kg/cm2).

--------WARNING!------

Automatic Start-Stop

The system engine mounted controls can be tested and adjusted as indicated in the topic SAFETY DEVICES. To start the engine to make on engine test of engine mounted controls, place a "jumper" wire between 7A and 7B terminals in the transfer switch or use the switch located on the transfer switch panel. This actually simulates a commercial power failure and will in turn test the operation of the automatic start-stop control panel.

If the transfer switch or control panel is suspected of faulty operation, contact transfer switch manufacturer for further information on testing and adjusting.

Safety Devices

Safety shutoff controls are for the protection of the engine. To ensure they are working properly, the controls must be checked at least twice a year.

2. Mark wiring connections to contactor terminals and disconnect wiring. C and NO terminals are normally used.


TESTING CONTACTOR
1. 2F7112 Thermometer. 2. Fabricated heat sink.

3. Remove the contactor and plug the opening with 3J5389 Plug. Install the contactor in the heat sink.

4. Reconnect the contactor to the wiring to check the entire system; contactor, wiring and shutoff solenoid.

NOTE: If this cannot be done, use an ohmmeter or circuit tester across the contactor terminals to check the setting.

5. If the contactor is reconnected, start the engine and run it at low idle. The fuel pressure switch will complete the circuit to the shutoff solenoid.

6. Immerse heat sink and sensing element in water. Heat the water, and, by using an accurate thermometer, note the temperature at which engine shuts down (or continuity is indicated). For the standard sea level contactor the temperature should be 209 ± 1° F (98 ± 1° C). Allow water to cool. The contactor will reset automatically when the temperature lowers approximately 12° F (8° C) from the shutdown temperature.

7. Install new contactor if necessary.

NOTE: To test the system beyond the contactor, a jumper can be touched between the C and NO contactor terminal to simulate contactor operation.

Alternate method of checking water temperature contactors.

1. Disconnect the wires from the contactor.

2. Connect ohmmeter or continuity tester across the contactors.

3. Start the engine and cause it to overheat by reducing coolant flow or air flow through radiator. Do not exceed the maximum temperature by more than 3°.


NOTICE

If the engine cannot be overheated safely, the temperature contactor will have to be checked off the engine.


4. Observe ohmmeter or continuity tester to see when the contactor shows continuity. The temperature at which this occurs should be 209° ± 1° F (98° ± 1° C) for the standard sea level contactor.

5. Allow engine to cool and then stop engine.

6. Install new contactor if required and connect wires to water temperature contactor.

The wiring diagrams show the connection of each transformer to the pin connector at the magneto. See the topic WIRING DIAGRAMS.

The firing order is 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4, which is the same as for spark gap magnetos.
