WOODWARD PSG GOVERNOR
TESTING AND ADJUSTING
4.
Tighten knob (2) to hold the lever and bracket in
position. After an adjustment is made check the
speed droop. See CHECK SPEED DROOP.
Several adjustments can be necessary to get the
desired speed droop.
5.
When lever (4) is in the position that gives the
desired speed droop, set stop screw (5) against the
pin on lever (4). This will make it easy to return the
speed droop lever to the desired position after
disassembly and assembly of the governor.
PILOT VALVE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The illustration shows an earlier governor
installation. Present procedure is the same.

that hold the cover in position evenly to decrease
the force of compression of the spring.
