(14) Turn the control unit frequency adjust screw
clockwise until the proper engine speed is obtained.
Several turns may be required. The generator set
frequency adjust pot should now have sufficient adjust-
ment travel to cause the generator set frequency meter
to indicate beyond both of its extreme limits (388-412
Hz).
(15) If the engine is unstable as indicated by con-
tinuous movement of the actuator lever, turn the control
unit gain control counterclockwise until stability is ob-
tained as indicated by a stationary actuator lever. Re-
adjust the control unit frequency adjust screw to the
proper engine speed.
(16) Turn the control unit gain control clockwise un-
til the engine becomes just unstable; back the gain con-
trol counterclockwise until the engine is again stable.
(17) Turn the control unit stability control
clockwise until the engine becomes just unstable; back
the stability control counterclockwise until the engine is
again stable.
NOTE
The governor is now set to a nominally good
operating point.
(18) Adjust control unit gain, stability and frequen-
cy under various load conditions and load changes to
obtain the desired governing characteristics.
(19) When the electric governor system is properly
adjusted, the locknuts on the control unit gain and
stability controls should be tightened.
7-11. ACTUATOR UNIT.
a. Removal.
(1) Disconnect electrical connector P22, (1, figure
7-16).
(2) Disconnect the actuator lever from the actuator
linkage rod by removing the hex head cap screw (2), flat-
washer (3), and the self-locking nut (4).
NOTE
It may be necessary to remove the actuator
bracket to gain access to the hardware securing
the actuator to the actuator bracket. If this is
not necessary, proceed to paragraph (3). If
removal is required, then proceed as follows:
(a) Loosen the drive belt of the engine alternator.
(b) Remove the two hex head screws (5) and lock
washers (6) securing the actuator bracket, through
spacers (7), to the engine through the alternator mount-
ing bracket.
(3) Disconnect the actuator from the actuator
bracket by removing two hex head screws (8), flat-
washers (9), lock washers (10) and nuts (11).
Remove the actuator.
b. Testing.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity be-
tween pins A and B and pins C and D. Replace actuator
if there is no continuity.
(2) Check for short circuit between each pin on the
connector and the housing. Replace actuator if any pin is
shorted to case,
c. Installation.
(1) Position the actuator lever (12, figure 4-30.3)
roughly horizontal by loosening the nut on the splined
shaft end of the actuator lever, rotating the lever and
tightening the nut.
(2) Align the actuator with the two holes in the
actuator bracket, secure the actuator to the actuator
bracket with two ¾-inch long hex head screws (8), flat-
washers (9), lock washers (10) and nuts (11).
NOTE
If the actuator bracket has not been removed,
proceed with paragraph (3). If the bracket must
be installed, proceed as follows:
(a) Insert the spacers (7) through the alternator
mounting bracket.
(b) Secure the actuator bracket to the engine by
inserting the two 1½-inch long hex head screws (5),
lockwashers (6), into the appropriate holes in the ac-
tuator bracket, through the spacers (7) and into the
threaded holes in the engine; tighten the two screws.
(c) Adjust the drive belt of the engine alternator
to the required tension and secure the alternator.
(3) Attach the actuator lever to the actuator
linkage rod with the 1½-inch long hex head cap screw (2),
two flatwashers (3) and the self-locking nut (4).
(4) Connect electrical connector P22 (l).
7-12. ELECTRIC GOVERNOR MAGNETIC PICKUP.
a. Removal.
(1) Disconnect electrical connector P23 (1, figure
7-17).
(2) Loosen locknut (2) and unscrew the threaded
magnetic pickup from the flywheel housing (3). Remove
the magnetic pickup.
b. Testing.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between
pins A and B on the connector.
(2) If the circuit is open discard the magnetic
pickup.
c. Installation.
(1) Rotate the engine until the top land of one gear
tooth is in line with the center of the threaded hole in the
flywheel housing.
(2) Replace the magnetic pickup (3) into the thread-
ed hole in the flywheel housing until the tip contacts the
top of the gear tooth. Back the magnetic pickup out one-
half to three-quarter turn and secure with the locknut (5)
provided.
(3) Connect electrical connector P23 (1),
