CONTROLLING (Cont.)
Propeller Governor.
Figure 5
2. Start engine, park 90° to wind direction and warm in normal manner.
3. To check high rpm low pitch setting, move the propeller control all the way forward. At this position
the governor speed control arm should be against the high rpm fine adjusting screw. With the throttle
full forward, observe engine rpm which should be adjusted as follows:
a. Shut down the engine and remove the upper engine cowl.
b. Adjust the governor by means of the fine adjustment screw for 2700 rpm. To do this, loosen the
high RPM fine adjustment screw locknut and turn the screw in a clockwise direction to decrease
engine speed or in a counterclockwise direction to increase engine speed.
– NOTE –
One revolution of thefine adjllstment screw will increase or
decrease the engine speed approximately 20 rpm.
c. Reinstall upper engine cowl and repeat step b to ascertain proper rpm setting.
d. After setting the proper high rpm adjustment, run the self-locking nut on the fine adjustment
screw against the base projection to lock.
e. Ascertain that the governor control arm is adjusted to the proper angle on the control wheel as
5. With the high rpm adjustment complete, the control system should be adjusted so that the governor
control arm will contact the high rpm stop when the propeller lever is 0.010 toO.030 of an inch from
forward stop on the power quadrant. To adjust the control travel, disconnect the control cable end
from the control arm, loosen the cable end jam nut and rotate the rod end to obtain the desired lever
clearance. Reconnect the cable end and tighten jam nut.
6. It is usually only necessary to adjust the high rpm setting of the governor control system, as the action
automatically takes care of the positive high pitch setting.
