| NOTICE |
|---|
Fuel rack setting is done carefully at the factory. Do not change the fuel rack setting unless it is known to be wrong. See the RACK SETTING INFORMATION for the correct rack setting dimension, high idle and low idle rpm. |
Low or High Idle rpm Adjustment
Check the engine LOW or HIGH IDLE rpm with a hand tachometer at the tachometer drive connection. The tachometer drive rotation is one half of engine rpm.
1. Put the load limit knob (3) at point 5 to prevent the engine from getting too much fuel.
2. If the engine rpm goes too high, the linkage can be easily moved and the fuel rack controlled manually with linkage (4) to keep engine rpm low.
3. Start the engine and slowly make an increase in the amount of fuel. When the engine is at operating temperature, turn the load limit knob slowly from 5 to 10. Use synchronizer knob (5) to change the engine rpm, then check the low or high idle stop.
4. If the low or high idle stop does not permit the correct rpm, adjustment is necessary. Remove the dial plate.
5. Loosen the set screw on synchronizer indicator knob (7) and remove the knob.
6. Pull gear (6) out of engagement with gear (2).
7. When making adjustment of the high idle rpm, turn synchronizer knob (5) clockwise until the engine is running at the correct high idle rpm. Turn knob (5) counterclockwise for low idle rpm.
8. Make an adjustment to the stop for high idle rpm by turning gear (6) clockwise (counterclockwise for low idle) until the gear pin makes contact with idler gear (2). Engage the gears.
9. After making adjustment to the idle rpm stop, turn the synchronizer knob to change the engine rpm. Turn it to the stop position and check the idle rpm. Make adjustment if necessary.
NOTE: Make adjustment to the disc of the synchronizer indicator pointer if necessary. With the engine running at high idle, stop the engine by turning load limit knob (3) to zero. Remove the disc for the synchronizer indicator pointer and install it at 12 on the dial plate. This will give an indication of high idle position.

Fuel Rack Setting
Use the same tools and procedure for adjustment of the rack as shown for a mechanical governor. Make reference to Fuel Rack Setting.
Compensating Adjustment
Slow return to normal rpm, after load changes, is the result of wrong compensation adjustments.
Make compensating adjustments after the engine and the oil in the governor are at normal operating temperature and with the engine running at no load condition.
1. Loose nut (1) and move compensation adjustment pointer (2) to MAX.
2. Remove plug (3) and use a screwdriver to open the compensating needle valve three or more turns.
3. Let the engine run rough for about 1 1/2 minutes to remove air from the governor oil passages, then turn compensating needle valve until the engine runs smoothly. The needle valve must be approximately 1/8 turn open.
4. Lower the pointer to two points above MIN.
COMPENSATING ADJUSTMENT
1. Nut. 2. Compensating adjustment pointer. 3. Plug.
5. Move the governor terminal shaft manually to make an increase in engine rpm. then let go and let the governor operation return to a stability condition.

Air Starting System Pressure Regulating Valve
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE (TYPICAL ILLUSTRATION)
1. Adjustment screw. 2. Regulator inlet. 3. Regulator outlet.
Use the following procedure to check and adjust the pressure regulating valve.
1. Drain the line to the pressure regulating valve or drain the air storage tank.
2. Disconnect the regulator from the starter control valve.
3. Connect an 8M2885 Pressure Gauge to the regulator outlet.
4. Put air pressure in the line or tank.
5. Check the pressure.
6. Adjust the pressure regulating valve according to Chart For Air Pressure Setting.
7. Remove the air pressure from the line or tank.
8. Remove the 8M2885 Pressure Gauge and connect the air pressure regulator to the line to the air starting motor.
Each engine application will have to be inspected to get the most acceptable starting results. Some of the factors that affect regulating valve pressure setting are: attachment loads pulled by engine during starting, ambient temperature conditions, oil viscosity, capacity of air reservoir, and condition of engine (new or worn).
The advantages of setting the valve at the higher pressures are increased torque for starting motor and faster rotation of engine. The advantage of setting the valve at the lower pressures is longer time of engine rotation for a given reservoir capacity of supply air.
Lubrication
Always use an air line lubricator with these Starters.
For temperatures above 32° F (0° C), use a good quality SAE 10 motor oil.
For temperatures below 32° F (0° C), use diesel fuel.
To maintain the efficiency of the starting motor, flush it at regular intervals. Pour approximately 1 pt. (0.5 litre) of diesel fuel into the air inlet of the starting motor and operate the motor. This will remove the dirt, water and oil mixture (gummy coating) from the vanes of the motor.
Air Starting Motor (Schwitzer)
End Clearance Adjustment of Air Starting Motor
Put shims (3) between bearing (1) and spacer or shoulder of end plate (2). Tighten the nut. Measure the clearance between the rotor and the end plate with a thickness gauge. Clearance must be .003 in. (0.08 mm) at end opposite the gear.

If clearance is not correct, the reading on the thickness gauge is used to find the number of shims (3) that must be installed or removed to get the correct clearance.
CHECKING END CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Air Starting Motor (Ingersoll-Rand)
The cylinder (12) must be assembled over the rotor (15) and on the front end plate (16) so the dowel hole (12A) and the inlet passages (12B) for the air are as shown in the rear view illustration of the cylinder and rotor. If the installation is not correct, the starter drive (42) will turn in the wrong direction.
Tighten the bolts (6) of the rear cover in small increases of torque for all bolts until all bolts are tightened to 20 to 25 lb. ft. (25 to 35 N·m).
Put a thin layer of lubricant on the lip of the seal (29) and on the outside of the collar (35), for installation of drive shaft (34). After installation of the shaft through the cover (28), check the lip of the grease seal (29). It must be turned correctly toward the drive gear (25). If the shaft turned the seal lip in the wrong direction, remove the shaft and install again. Use a tool with a thin point to turn the seal lip in the correct direction.

Do not disconnect lines or remove plugs from the system until the oil pressure has been released. The system can have 3000 psi (20 700 kPa) pressure. After all the system pressure is released, the accumulator still can have 1625 psi (11 200 kPa) pressure. |
 |
Do not work on the accumulator, unless you have the correct service tools and service information. Service or service information is available from the manufacturer.
Automatic Start/Stop System
See the correct topic in SAFETY CONTROLS for information on the engine controls of the automatic start/stop systems. To make on engine tests of the safety controls use a jumper wire between the 7A and 7B terminals in the transfer switch or use the switch on the control panel. This will check the operation of the automatic start/stop system.
Enclosed Clutches
Clutch Adjustment
The force (pull) needed to engage the clutch gives an indication of clutch adjustment. The correct lever pull is shown in the chart.
These clutches use two types of adjustment lock pins. Pin (1) must be pushed in and the adjustment ring turned. Pin (2) must be pulled out and the adjustment ring turned.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Lock pin (push type). 2. Lock pin (pull type).
Assembly Adjustments
Tighten hub nut to a torque of 30 lb. ft. (40 N·m) to remove all clearance between parts. Then tighten again to the amount shown in the chart.
Installation of Wear Sleeve
Clutch shaft bearings that have oil lubrication are equipped with wear sleeves (2). Install wear sleeves with guide assembly (1) (part of 1P2410 Wear Sleeve Installation Tool Group). Make sure the sleeve fits the shoulder fillets (3) on the shaft.
WEAR SLEEVE INSTALLATION
1. Guide assembly. 2. Wear sleeve. 3. Shaft shoulder fillets.
End Clearance of Shaft Bearing
Tighten adjustment nut to remove all clearance. Shaft must turn with a dry bearing at a torque of 60 lb. in. (6.8 N·m) in addition to seal resistance (drag). Then loosen the adjustment nut the number of notches as shown in the chart. Install the lock. Hit the output end of the shaft with a soft hammer. The end clearance must be as shown in the chart.
Installation Check
At the time of installation, check the face and bore runout of the flywheel and flywheel housing.
