Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting can be difficult. On the following pages there is a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction.

This list of problems, causes, and corrections, will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be, and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list. Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list can not give all possible problems and corrections. The serviceman must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.

Pierce Output Shaft Governor

Four adjustments must be made: 1. linkage adjustment, 2. low speed setting, 3. high speed setting, 4. regulation, and surge. For any given output shaft governor setting, the regulation is the range or spread between the torque converter output shaft speed at no load and the output shaft speed at full load, with the diesel engine governor control, in the full open position. If the regulation is too close, surging will result.

The torque converter output shaft maximum speed is either a high speed setting or a low speed setting, which is determined by changing the position of the speed change lever (4), normally by remote control. The high speed screw (9) determines the maximum speed for the high speed setting, and the low speed screw (8) determines the maximum low speed setting. Consult the operator's manual for the equipment in which the engine is installed to be sure of the maximum permissible output shaft speed for the driven equipment.

NOTE: Perform the first nine Steps with the engine stopped.


OUTPUT SHAFT GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Terminal lever. 2. Rate adjusting screw. 3. Adjustable linkage. 4. Speed change lever. 5. Governor spring. 6. Bumper screw. 7. Lever. 8. Low speed adjusting screw. 9. High speed adjusting screw. 10. Bracket.

1. Disconnect the adjustable linkage (3) from the terminal lever (1) and the other adjustable linkage (12) between the servo mechanism (14) and standard governor.

2. Position the speed change lever (4), with low and high speed adjusting screws (8 and 9) so the rate adjusting screw (2) and the governor spring (5) are approximately parallel to lever (7).

3. Turn the rate adjusting screw until a slight tension is maintained on the governor spring. This will position the governor weights in the closed position.

4. Adjust linkage (3) between terminal lever (1) and servo boost mechanism so that it moves .08 in. (2.0 mm) before lever (13) starts to move. Install linkage (3).

5. Retract the speed limiter and move the governor control to full speed position.

6. Rotate shutoff lever (11) until shutoff lever contacts the rack stop collar. This can be determined by use of continuity tester connected to the insulated terminal of the standard governor.


GOVERNOR LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
1. Terminal lever. 3. Linkage. 11. Shutoff lever. 12. Linkage. 13. Servo lever. 14. Servo mechanism.

7. Adjust the linkage (12) to fit lever holes when shutoff lever contacts rack stop collar, then increase linkage length .06 in. (1.5 mm) and install the linkage.

8. Back out bumper screw (6) until approximately 3/4 inch of the screw is protruding from the governor housing.

9. Fill the output shaft governor to the proper level with SAE 30 lubricating oil. The proper level can be checked by removing the small oil plug located in the drive cable end of the governor housing.

10. Start the diesel engine. After a reasonable warm-up period move the diesel engine governor control lever to the full open position.

11. Adjust the output shaft speed to the maximum desired speed with the aid of the low speed adjusting screw (8). Turn the screw clockwise to raise the speed and counterclockwise to lower the speed.

12. If a surging condition is encountered, back off the nut on the rate adjusting screw one full turn. Turn the low speed adjusting screw clockwise to return the output shaft speed to the desired RPM. Continue this procedure until all surge is removed. If it is not possible to remove all surge, set the governor at the setting which will produce the least amount of surge and remove the remaining surge by turning the bumper screw clockwise until it just makes contact with the rocker yoke.


NOTICE

Turning the bumper screw in beyond this point will raise the output shaft speed and eventually damage the internal parts of the governor. The bumper screw should not be used to remove speed surges of greater than 50 RPM.


Turning the low speed adjusting screw clockwise will increase the leverage of the governor spring (5) on the lever (7) and increase speed, with the result that minimum tension on the spring is now required. This adjustment will provide the most sensitive regulation. When the load is removed suddenly, the engine should not surge in excess of four (4) cycles. When the load is gradually removed, no surge should be evident.

13. With the output shaft running at the desired speed setting, turn the high speed adjusting screw (9) until the end of the screw contacts the stop bracket (10). Lock the high speed screw in this position.

Woodward UG8 Dial Governor

Compensating Adjustment

Although the governor may appear to be operating satisfactorily at no load, high overspeeds and underspeeds after load changes and slow return to normal speed are the results of incorrect compensation adjustments.

Make compensating adjustments after the temperature of the engine and the oil in the governor have reached normal operating values and with the engine running at no load conditions.


UG8 DIAL GOVERNOR
1. Nut. 2. Compensation pointer. 3. Plug.

1. Loosen the nut that holds the compensation pointer and move the pointer up as far as it will go. Tighten the nut.

2. Remove the plug from the base of the governor.

3. Use a wide blade screwdriver and engage the wide screwdriver slot in the needle valve. Turn the needle valve three or more turns in a counterclockwise direction.

4. Let the engine surge for approximately 30 seconds to help remove air from the governor.

5. Loosen the nut that holds the compensation pointer and move the pointer down as far as it will go. Tighten the nut.

6. Slowly turn the needle valve in a clockwise direction until the engine does not surge.

7. Check the number of turns the needle valve is open. To find the number of turns the needle valve is open, close the valve completely and make a note of the number of turns needed to close the valve.

8. Open the needle valve to the same position at which the engine did not surge.

9. Move the governor linkage to change the engine speed. If the engine does not surge, and the needle valve is 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn open, the governor adjustment is correct. Install the plug in the base. If the needle valve is more than 3/4 of a turn open, do the steps that follow.

10. Loosen the nut that holds the compensation pointer and move the pointer up two marks on the pointer scale.

11. Turn the needle valve three or more turns in a counterclockwise direction.

12. Let the engine surge for approximately 30 seconds to help remove air from the governor.

13. Slowly turn the needle valve in a clockwise direction until the engine does not surge.

14. Check the number of turns the needle valve is open. To find the number of turns the needle valve is open, close the valve completely and make a note of the number of turns needed to close the valve.

15. Open the needle valve to the same position at which the engine did not surge.

16. Move the governor linkage to change the engine speed.

If the engine does not surge, and the needle valve is 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn open, the governor adjustment is correct. Install the plug in the base. If the needle valve is more than 3/4 of a turn open do Steps 10 thru 16 again.

A needle valve that is opened less than 1/2 turn will cause the engine to be slow to return to normal speed after a load change.

If the compensation pointer is too far toward the maximum position, the engine speed change will be too great when the load changes.

High Idle Speed Adjustment

Connect a tachometer with good accuracy to the engine. Make reference to MEASURING ENGINE SPEED.

1. Start the engine and run to get the engine to the normal temperature of operation.

2. Use synchronizer control knob (5) to adjust the engine speed and check the high idle speed stop adjustment.


GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENTS (Typical Example)
1. Terminal lever. 2. Idler gear. 3. Load limit control. 4. Linkage. 5. Synchronizer control knob. 6. Gear. 7. Synchronizer indicator knob.

3. If the high idle speed is not correct, remove the dial plate.

NOTE: Make reference to the RACK SETTING INFORMATION for the correct high idle speed.

4. Loosen the setscrew on synchronizer indicator knob (7), remove tapered pin if equipped and remove the knob.

5. Pull gear (6) out of mesh with idler gear (2). Turn synchronizer control knob (5) until the correct high idle speed is reached.

6. To set the high idle speed stop, turn gear (6) clockwise until the stop pin on the gear makes contact with idler gear (2). Push gear (6) into mesh with idler gear (2).

7. Turn the synchronizer control knob counterclockwise to change the engine speed. Now turn the knob to the high idle stop and check the high idle adjustment.

8. Install the synchronizer indicator knob and the dial plate.

NOTE: Low idle speed is not adjustable, but will change as high idle adjustment is made. If low idle is not correct, an increase in high idle speed will increase low idle speed, and a decrease in high idle speed will decrease low idle speed.

Potentiometer Adjustment (Parallel Or Nonparallel Control)


2301 PARALLEL CONTROL
1. Speed potentiometer. 2. Stability potentiometer. 3. Gain potentiometer. 4. Ramp time potentiometer. 5. Low speed potentiometer. 6. Load gain potentiometer. 7. Droop potentiometer. 8. De-droop potentiometer. 9. Load signal jacks.

Speed Potentiometer

Turn speed potentiometer (1) clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the full load rpm of the engine.

Stability and Gain Potentiometers

1. Connect a DC voltmeter to terminals 16 (-) and 17 (+) on the parallel control [terminals 5 (-) and 6 (+) on the nonparallel control].

2. Start the engine. Run the engine until the coolant temperature is normal.

3. Turn gain potentiometer (3) clockwise until the voltmeter does not have stability.

4. Turn stability potentiometer (2) either direction until the voltmeter has stability.

5. Do Steps 3 and 4 several times until the stability potentiometer will not give the voltmeter stability.

6. Turn the gain potentiometer a small amount counterclockwise. Adjust the stability potentiometer as necessary.

Ramp Time Potentiometer

Turn ramp time potentiometer (4) clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the amount of time it takes the engine to accelerate from low idle to full load rpm.

Low Speed Potentiometer

1. Make sure there is an open between terminals 14 and 15 (terminals 9 and 10 on the nonparallel control).

2. Turn low speed potentiometer clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the low idle rpm.

Load Gain Potentiometer

NOTE: Stability and gain potentiometers must be correctly adjusted first.

1. Put the probes of a voltmeter in the load signal jacks (9).

2. Run the engine in single unit operation until the coolant temperature is normal.

3. Put a full load on the generator. Adjust load gain potentiometers until the load signal reading on the voltmeter is 8V. If it is not possible to put a full load on the generator keep the ratio between the load and the voltage signal constant. For example: if the load on the generator is 1/2 of its rated capacity adjust the load gain potentiometer to get a load signal of 4V.

4. Do Steps 1, 2 and 3 to all the units in the system. The load signal for each unit in the system must be the same.

5. If any of the units in the system have stability problems at this load gain setting, decrease the setting for each unit a small amount. Keep the load signal for each unit in the system the same.

6. If the load signal at full load is decreased to 3V in Step 5 and the system still has a stability problem do the steps that follow.

7. Parallel all of the units in the system at no load.

8. If the system has instability turn the stability potentiometer of each unit one mark counterclockwise. Do this until the system has stability.

9. Put a load on the system. If the system has instability turn the stability potentiometer of each unit one mark counterclockwise. Do this until the system has stability.

NOTE: The generator voltage regulator response may be too fast. Use a manual voltage regulator. If this stops the instability, slow down the response of the generator voltage regulator.

Droop Potentiometer

The amount of speed droop adjustment available will vary with the application from 0 to 13%. The desired speed droop will be different for different applications. Speed droop is the percent difference between the engine speed at no load and full load. To calculate speed droop use the formula:

1. Get the desired speed droop for the application.

2. Multiply the full load speed by the desired speed droop. Add the number from this multiplication to the full load speed to get the no load speed.

3. Run the engine until the coolant temperature is normal.

4. Adjust the engine speed to get the no load speed for Step 2.

5. Connect a known load to the engine. The load must be less than the full capacity of the engine. Make a record of the decrease in engine speed.

NOTE: Load on engine or load on generator can be used.

6. Make a ratio between the load on the engine and the full load capacity of the engine. This ratio must be the same as the ratio between the decrease in engine speed from Step 5 and the number from the multiplication in Step 2. For example:

7. If the ratios are not the same an adjustment of the speed droop is necessary. Remove the load and stop the engine. If the engine speed decreases too much according to the ratio, decrease the amount of speed droop. If the decrease in engine speed is not enough increase the amount of speed droop.

8. Turn droop potentiometer (7) clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the amount of speed droop.

De-Droop Potentiometer

1. Set the system for isochronous operation at the desired rpm. Droop potentiometer at zero droop.

2. Put the maximum available load on the unit, up to 100% of rated capacity.

3. If there is a change in rpm use the de-droop potentiometer to return the engine to the desired rpm.

NOTE: More adjustment may be needed to get the correct setting. Turn adjustment potentiometer clockwise to increase speed setting and counterclockwise to decrease speed setting. Turn adjustment potentiometer very slowly only a small amount at a time until adjustment is correct.

7. When the speed setting is correct, install seal screw (8) for overspeed adjustment hole and install lockwire and seal.

Procedure B

Magnetic Pickup Adjustment


MAGNETIC PICK-UP
12. Engine flywheel. 14. Locknut. 15. Air gap.

1. Stop engine.

2. Loosen magnetic pick-up locknut (14).

3. Turn the magnetic pick-up clockwise until contact is made with the teeth of the engine flywheel ring gear (12).

4. Turn the magnetic pick-up counterclockwise one-half turn. This will give approximately .022 to .033 in. (0.56 to 0.84 mm) clearance at location (15), between the end of the magnetic pick-up and the teeth of the flywheel ring gear.

5. After the clearance is correct, tighten the magnetic pick-up locknut to a torque of 50 ± 10 lb. ft. (70 ± 14 N·m).

NOTE: Be sure the magnetic pick-up does not turn when the locknut is tightened.

Procedure C

Crank Terminate Speed Adjustment

1. Remove lockwire and seal from seal screws (8 & 9). Remove seal screw (9) from access hole for crank terminate adjustment screw.

2. Use a small screwdriver and lightly turn C.T. (crank terminate) adjustment potentiometer twenty turns in the direction of "MAX ARROW" (clockwise).

NOTE: The crank terminate adjustment screw is made so that it can not cause damage to the potentiometer or be removed if the adjustment screw is turned too much.

3. Turn the crank terminate adjustment potentiometer twelve turns in a direction opposite of "MAX ARROW" (counterclockwise) for an approximate crank terminate setting.

4. Start engine and make a note of the speed at which the starter disengages. See the SPEED SPECIFICATION CHART for the correct crank terminate speed for D379, D398 and D399 Engines.

NOTE: If setting is not correct do Steps 5 and 6. If setting was correct do Step 7.

5. Stop engine and turn adjustment potentiometer (clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease) crank terminate speed.

6. Start and make a note of the speed at which the starter disengages. If needed, make more small adjustments until the crank terminate speed is correct.

7. Install seal screw (9) for crank terminate adjustment hole and install lockwire and seal.


ELECTRONIC OVERSPEED SWITCH
5. Verify button. 6. Reset button. 7. "LED" overspeed light. 8. Seal screw plug (overspeed). 9. Seal screw plug (crank terminate).

Procedure D

Overspeed Verify Test

1. Run engine at rated speed, push verify button (5) in for a moment. This will cause the speed switch to activate and shut down the engine.

NOTE: Any time the engine speed is 75% or more of the overspeed setting, the engine will shut down if the verify button is pushed.

EXAMPLE: For an engine with a rated speed of 1200 rpm the overspeed setting is 1416 rpm. The overspeed verify test will shut down the engine at 75% of the overspeed setting of 1416 rpm. In this example 75% of 1416 rpm is 1062 rpm. If the verify button is pushed at an engine speed of 1062 rpm or above the engine will shut down.

The "LED" overspeed light (7) will come on and stay on until the reset button is pushed after an overspeed switch shut down. To restart the engine, push in reset button (6) for a moment. This will reset the speed switch and the rack shutoff solenoid. The "LED" overspeed light (7) will go off. The air inlet shutoff must be manually reset.

NOTE C: To verify overspeed shutdown system operation, push in for a moment the verify push button. The engine must shut down at 75% or more of overspeed setting.

NOTE D: Input Voltage: Maximum 37 VDC Minimum 8 VDC.

NOTE E: The engine overspeed setting rpm is 118% of rated engine rpm.

NOTE F: The magnetic pick-up frequency (HZ) at the overspeed or cranking termination setting is calculated with the formula that follows:

If the rated speed of the engine is other than shown in the chart, the magnetic pick-up frequency for the overspeed setting can be found according to NOTES E and F.

If a 2301 Governor is used, only one magnetic pick-up is needed. Use the magnetic pick-up from the overspeed group. Connect the wires from the magnetic pick-up to the overspeed switch and then connect wires from the speed switch to the 2301 Governor. The overspeed switch can be installed close to the 2301 Governor if needed.

To reset overspeed switch, push in reset button for a moment.
