Before you start

  • Never turn the flywheel against direction of rotation for fine adjustment; if turned too far, restart the process.

Procedure

  1. Remove the front valve cover.
  2. Turn the flywheel in the direction of engine rotation until cylinder no. 1 is at its compression position (0° on flywheel).
  3. Rotate the flywheel against direction of rotation approximately 1/4 turn, then in the direction of rotation to the correct setting angle.
  4. Remove the pump coupling clamp bolt and turn the pump coupling approximately 1/4 turn in the direction of pump rotation.
  5. Remove the plug in the governor housing and attach the measuring tool sensor.
  6. Tighten the pump coupling clamp bolt so the coupling can be turned against rotation with considerable resistance.
  7. Carefully turn the pump coupling against direction of rotation until both LEDs illuminate.
  8. Torque the pump coupling clamp screw to 90 ±9 Nm (66 ±7 ft. lb.).
  9. Remove the measuring instrument sensor and reinstall the plug; top off engine oil.
