SERVICE MANUALber of the governor. The more common cut-out pressureis 862 ± 35 kPa (125 ± 5 psi).With the engine still running make a series of brakeapplications to reduce the air pressure and observe atwhich pressure the governor cuts in the compressor. Asin the case of the cut-out pressure, the cut-in pressureshould be in accordance with the governor piecenumber. Common cut-in pressure is 690 to 717 kPa(100 to 105 psi). Never condemn or adjust the governorpressure settings unless they are checked with anaccurate test gauge or a dash gauge that is registeringaccurately. If the pressure settings of the governor areinaccurate or it is necessary that they be changed,procedure is as follows.First, unscrew the cover at the top of thegovernor. Next, loosen the adjusting screw lock nut,With a screwdriver the adjusting screw is turnedcounterclockwise to raise the pressure setting and thescrew is turned clockwise to lower the pressure setting.After the adjustment is completed, the adjusting screwlock nut should be tightened to lock this adjustment.NOTE: 1/4 turn will change the setting approximately 28kPa (4 psi). Any governor requiring more than a 360°adjustment should be cleaned and inspected.LEAKAGE TESTSLeakage checks on the D-2 governor are madeat its exhaust port in both cut-in and cut-out positions. Inthe cut-in position check exhaust port for inlet valveleakage by applying a soap solution at the port. Leakagecould also be past the bottom piston grommet. In thecut-out position check the exhaust port to determineleakage at the exhaust valve seat or stem grommet. Inthis position leakage could also be past the upper pistongrommet.Leakage in excess of 25 mm (1 in.) soap bubblein 3 seconds is not permissible in either of the foregoingtests. If excess leakage is found, the governor must berepaired or replaced.REMOVEApply parking brakes or block wheels to preventvehicle from moving.Drain air brake system.If governor is compressor-mounted type,disconnect reservoir air line. If remote-mountedgovernor, disconnect both the unloader and reservoir airlines.Remove governor mounting bolts, thengovernor.INSTALLIf compressor-mounted type governor, clean mountingpad on both compressor and governor block. Cleanconnecting line or lines. Also be sure compressorunloading port is clear and clean.If the governor is being mounted remotely, itshould be positioned so that its exhaust port pointsdown. It should be mounted higher than the compressorso that its connecting lines will drain away from thegovernor.Install governor.If compressor-mounted type, use a newgovernor mounting gasket.Connect air lines to governor. Test governor asoutlined under SERVICE CHECKS.DISASSEMBLYClean governor exterior of road dirt and greaseusing a good cleaning solvent and brush.Unscrew the top cover.With a pair of retaining ring pliers remove thespring assembly retaining ring.Remove the adjusting screw and springassembly.Remove the lock nut, then the hex-shaped upperspring seat from the adjusting screw.Remove the pressure setting spring, lowerspring seat, spring guide and the other lower spring seatfrom the adjusting screw.Remove the exhaust stem and its spring fromthe top of the piston.With the body in the inverted position tap it lightlyand the piston should fall out.Remove the inlet and exhaust valve spring andthe valve from the piston.Remove the two piston grommets and with ahooked wire remove the exhaust stem grommet.Clean or remove the unloader and reservoir portfilters.CLEANING AND INSPECTIONClean all metal parts in a good cleaning solvent.Wipe rubber parts dry.Inspect body for cracks or other damage. Beparticularly careful that the body air passages, the filters,exhaust stem and piston are not obstructed.Check springs for cracks, distortion or corrosion.Replace all parts not considered serviceableduring these inspections.PRINTED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICACTS-4097A - CHAPTER IPage 3
