Driven Equipment Without Load
1. Move the governor control to half engine speed. 2. Engage the driven equipment with no load on the equipment.3. Move the governor control to high idle (full load).4. Apply the load to the driven equipment. 5. Check the gauges.Driven Equipment With Load
1. Move the governor control to half engine speed.2. Move the governor control to high idle (full load).3. Engage the loaded driven equipment. 4. Check the engine gauges.Engine Operation
Full Load Operation
The governor control lever should remain in the full governed position while operating at full load.Reduced Load Operation
If the load varies, or is cyclic, the governor usually will adjust the engine speed as required. If a slower constant speed is desired, move the governor control lever to desired speed position.
Be sure to increase engine speed before increasing the load.
Prolonged operation at low idle or reduced load may cause oil consumption and carboning in the combustion chamber and result in poor performance and a loss of power. Every four hours, load the engine to clear carbon from the conbustion chamber.No Load Operation
If the load is temporarily removed, engine speed may be reduced by manually moving the governor control. However, the engine may be operated at high idle without causing shortened engine life.
