Procedure

  1. Loosen the nut holding the compensation pointer and set the pointer as far as it will go towards maximum compensation. Tighten the nut.
  2. Open the needle valve two turns ccw.
  3. Allow the prime mover to hunt for approximately 30 seconds to bleed trapped air.
  4. Loosen the nut holding the compensation pointer and set the pointer as far as it will go towards minimum compensation. Tighten the nut again.
  5. Gradually close the needle valve until hunting stops. If hunting does not stop, open the needle valve three to five turns from the closed position, and move the compensation pointer up by two marks on the front panel indicator scale. Again, gradually close the needle valve until hunting stops. If hunting does not stop, repeat this procedure.
  6. Check governor stability by manually disturbing the governor speed setting.
