(1) Magnetic pickup
(2) Flywheel housing The magnetic pickup senses the passage of the teeth that are on the flywheel ring gear. The Electronic Overspeed Switch is set at 118 percent of the rated engine speed. If the engine speed increases above the overspeed setting, the magnetic pickup will sense the overspeed. A signal is sent to the Electronic Overspeed Switch. The Electronic Overspeed Switch activates both the air shutoff solenoid (if equipped) and the fuel shutoff solenoid.The shutoffs must be reset before the engine will restart. The air shutoff lever that is located at the top of the air inlet housing must be manually reset. The cause of the overspeed must be determined before the engine is restarted.
