General Information

Introduction
This manual describes the PG-200/PG-300 case, accumulator, and power
cylinder operation. Information is provided on governor installation, adjustments,
and maintenance.

This manual only gives information pertaining to the PGA/PGG-200 and -300, not
to any of the combined PGA-EG/PGG-EG units. Refer to manual 36637 for more
information.

Description
The PG-200/PG-300 assembly is a PG type governor and an integral, hydraulic
amplifier unit. The large accumulator and oil pump supply high pressure oil (1379
or 2482 kPa/200 or 360 psi) to the power servo. The power servo is differential in
operation, needing oil pressure to move it in either the increase-fuel or decrease-
fuel direction. To control the governor output position of the power servo, oil flow
to or from the power servo is controlled by a relay pilot valve. The relay pilot
valve consists of a pilot valve bushing and pilot valve plunger.

A pressure reducing valve reduces the high pressure oil (1379 or 2482 kPa/200
or 360 psi) to a lower pressure (758 or 827 kPa/110 or 120 psi) for operation of
the control section of the PG governor.

In operation, a centrifugal flyweight head and pilot valve assembly senses speed
changes and controls the flow of governor oil to a relay cylinder. The relay
cylinder (a 16.3 J/12 ft-lb single-acting piston) positions the relay pilot valve to
control the power piston output position.

A compensating system gives stability to the governing system. It includes the

compensation needle valve, the compensation land of the pilot valve plunger, a
buffer piston, and two buffer springs.

A short description of the setting of governor speed is given in this manual to aid
in the understanding of the basic operation.

Optional Accessories
The PG-200/PG-300 is designed for the PGE, PGA, PGPL, PGG, PGL, and PGD
column assemblies to meet a variety of customer requirements. Different
methods of setting speeds and optional auxiliary equipment are available on the
column assembly for use, by themselves or in combination, with the PG-200/
PG-300. The auxiliary equipment performs a secondary function such as limiting
engine load, controlling engine load to maintain constant power output for each
speed adjustment, starting fuel limiting, permitting temporary overloads, etc.

Optional accessories used on the PG-200/PG-300 case assembly include:

PG Governor Heat Exchanger (Remote Only)

The heat exchanger is used to lower governor oil temperature when the governor
operates in high ambient temperatures. It should be used whenever the governor
will go above 93 °C (200 °F) maximum operating temperature. When a governor
heat exchanger is needed, it can be added without change or conversion to the
PG-200/PG-300.

Some PG-200/PG-300 governors (manufactured before 1979) have a

pressurizing valve which may have been disabled. If a heat
exchanger is added to one of these governors, the pressurizing valve
(Figure 6-1, #4) should be disassembled and checked to be sure that
it has not been disabled with a cotter pin. If a cotter pin is present, it
must be removed before the pressurizing valve is replaced in the
governor.

Booster Servomotor
The booster servomotor is used with the governor to help the prime mover start
quickly by moving the governor output toward the maximum fuel position at
startup. A high output booster having a 1:1 or higher pressure ratio is necessary
when used with the PG-200/PG-300 governor. A fuel limiter, an option on the PG
column assemblies, is sometimes necessary when the booster servomotor is
used.

Chapter 2.
Installation

Introduction
This chapter covers receiving, storage, and installation requirements for the
PG-200/PG-300 governor (see outline drawing, Figure 1-3).

The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be

equipped with an overspeed shutdown device to protect against
runaway or damage to the prime mover with possible personal injury,
loss of life, or property damage.
The overspeed shutdown device must be totally independent of the
prime mover control system. An overtemperature or overpressure
shutdown device may also be needed for safety, as appropriate.

Be careful when handling and installing the governor. Do not hit the drive shaft or
output shaft. Rough handling can cause damage to seals, parts and adjustments.

Receiving
The PG-200/PG-300 governor is shipped from the factory in a vertical position,
bolted to a wood platform. The governor has been calibrated at the factory to
exact specifications, then drained of oil. A light film of oil covers the internal parts
to help prevent rust. Calibration or internal cleaning is not needed before
installation and operation. The drive shaft and output shafts are covered with a
light film of oil, and a soft seal preservative can be applied at the customer's
request. The seal preservative is removed before installation with a cloth and
mineral spirits.

Storage
If the PG-200/PG-300 governor is to be in storage for a period of time, see the
Woodward specification procedure, 25075, Commercial Preservation Packaging
for Storage of Mechanical-Hydraulic Controls.

Installation Requirements
See Figure 1-3 for overall dimensions, location of installation holes, hydraulic
fitting sizes, output and drive shaft dimensions, and adjustment locations.

Enough clearance must be allowed for installation, removal, and servicing of the
governor. The governor oil drain should be easily accessible.

Woodward 7
PG-200/PG-300 Case, Accumulator, and Power Cylinder Manual 36618

Installation
Install the PG-200/PG-300 governor on the engine accessory drive pad. The
drive shaft must slip into the accessory drive or mating coupling without force. Be
careful not to push the drive shaft into the governor. Improper alignment or too
tight a fit between any of the parts can result in wear or seizure. It can also cause
jiggle in the governor output.

Damage to the drive shaft, drive shaft seal, or other parts of the
governor may occur if the governor is dropped or set on the drive
shaft or drive coupling.

Fuel System Linkage

Correctly align and install the linkage between the fuel system and the
PG-200/PG-300 governor. The linkage must move freely and not have excessive
backlash. Use approximately 2/3 governor output travel (26°) between idle and
full fuel. Permit enough overtravel (typically 7°) so the governor can cause
complete shutdown and give full fuel at full load. The governor output travel
between shutdown position and idle speed must never be less than 5°. Many
governors include an optional compensation cutoff and since this option cannot
be seen without disassembly of the governor, this caution must be followed:

Due to the location of the compensation cutoff port In the relay servo
wall, it is necessary to adjust the governor output linkage to use no
less than 5° travel between shutdown and Idle.

Compensation cutoff is more completely described in Chapter 4, Principles of

Operation.

Hydraulic and Electrical Connections

Make all other hydraulic and electrical connections, if any, for the particular
model PG-200/PG-300 being installed. Use the correct Woodward manuals.

Booster Servomotor
The booster servomotor is remotely located from the governor. Make all hydraulic
connections from the booster to the governor (see Manual 36684, Booster
Servomotor). The booster servomotor is actuated by a starting air pressure of
1034 to 1379 kPa (150 to 200 psi), and pressure oil from the booster moves the
servo piston to the maximum fuel position. Make the starting air connection to the
booster at the optional air supply inlet (the orificed inlet). Plug the other inlet. The
governor fuel position during startup can be controlled by the fuel limiter (if
available). Because of the large volume of oil needed to move the PG-200/
PG-300 servo, the booster limit screw should be adjusted to permit maximum
booster servo output.

8 Woodward
Manual 36618 PG-200/PG-300 Case, Accumulator, and Power Cylinder

Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is remotely located from the governor. Make all hydraulic
connections for the heat exchanger to the governor (see manual 36641,
Governor Oil Heat Exchanger). If a heat exchanger is added to a governor
manufactured before 1979, the pressurizing valve (Figure 6-1, #4) should be
removed and checked to be sure that it has not been disabled with a cotter pin. If
a cotter pin is present it must be removed before the valve is replaced in the
governor.

If a heat exchanger is added to a governor that does not have a pressurizing

valve, a pressurizing valve must be installed.

Oil Supply
Until the governor has been run and the accumulator filled, approximately four
liters/quarts of oil will fill the governor. Governor oil capacity is 7.1 liters (7.5
quarts), and it is necessary to add oil after the governor is first started in order to
restore oil to the full level mark on the dipstick. Check the oil level with the
governor running.

Oils for Hydraulic Controls

This information is provided as a guide in the selection of lubricating/hydraulic oil
for governor use. Oil grade selection is based on viscosity change over the
temperature range of the governor. The information also provides an aid in
recognizing and correcting common problems associated with oil used in
products manufactured by Woodward. It is not intended to suggest the selection
of lubrication oil for the engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover being
controlled.

Governor oil lubricates and provides hydraulic power. The oil must have a
viscosity index that allows it to perform over the operating temperature range and
it must have the proper blending of additives to cause it to remain stable and
predictable over this range. Governor fluid must be compatible with seal
materials, (i.e., nitrile, polyacrylic and fluorocarbon). Many automotive and gas
engine oils, industrial lubricating oils, and other oils of mineral or synthetic origin
meet these requirements. Woodward governors are designed to give stable
operation with most oils, if the fluid viscosity at the operating temperature span is
within a 50 to 3000 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) range. Ideally, at the
normal operating temperature, viscosity should be between 100 and 300 SUS.
Poor governor response or instability usually is an indication that the oil is too
thick or too thin.

Excessive component wear or seizure in a governor indicates the possibility of:

1. Insufficient lubrication caused by:
A. An oil that flows slowly either when it is cold or during startup.
B. An oil line restriction, obstructions within or bends in the line.
C. No oil in the governor or governor oil level too low.
2. Contaminated oil caused by:
A. Dirty oil containers
B. A governor exposed to heating and cooling cycles, creating
condensation of water in the oil.
3. Oil not suitable for the operating conditions.
4. An improper oil level which creates foamy, aerated oil.

Woodward 9
PG-200/PG-300 Case, Accumulator, and Power Cylinder Manual 36618
Operating a governor continuously beyond the high limit temperature of the oil
will result in oil oxidation, identified by varnish or sludge deposits on the governor
parts. To reduce oil oxidation, lower the governor operating temperature with a
heat exchanger or other means, or change to an oil more oxidation resistant at
the operating temperatures.

A loss of stable governor control and possible prime mover

overspeed may result if the viscosity exceeds the 50 to 3000 SUS
range. Overspeed can damage the engine and cause personal injury
or death.

Specific oil viscosity recommendations are given in the chart. Select a readily
available good brand of oil, either mineral or synthetic, and continue using it. Do
not mix the different classes of oils. Oil that meets the API (American Petroleum
Institute) engine service classification in either the “S” group or the “C” group,
starting with “SA” and “CA” through “SF” and “CD” is suitable for governor
service. Oils meeting performance requirements of the following specifications
are also suitable: MIL-L-2104A, MILL-2104B, MIL-L-2104C, MIL-L-46152,
MIL-L-46152A, MIL-L-46152B, MIL-L-45199B.

Replace the governor oil if it is contaminated, or if it is suspected of contributing

to governor instability. Drain the oil while hot and agitated; and flush the governor
with a clean solvent having some lubricity before refilling with new oil. If drain
time is insufficient for the solvent to completely drain or evaporate, flush the
governor with the same oil it is to be refilled with to avoid dilution and possible
contamination of the new oil. To avoid contamination, replacement oil should be
free of dirt, water, and other foreign material. Use clean containers to store and
transfer oil.

Oil that has been carefully selected to match the operating conditions and is
compatible with governor components should give long service between oil
changes. Under ideal conditions (minimum exposure to dust and water and
within the temperature limits of the oil), changes can be extended. A regularly
scheduled oil analysis is helpful in determining the frequency of oil changes.

Any persistent or recurring oil problems should be referred to a qualified oil

specialist for solution.

The recommended continuous operating temperature of the oil is 60 to 93 °C

(140 to 200 °F). Measure the temperature of the governor or actuator on the
outside lower part of the case. The actual oil temperature will be warmer by
about 6 °C (10 °F).

Chapter 3.
Operation and Adjustment

Introduction
This chapter describes the first startup and the basic adjustments of the
PG-200/PG-300 assembly.

Initial Operation
Before the first startup of the PG-200/PG-300, be sure that all steps in Chapter 2
have been done and are correct.

Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
property damage.

Adjustments
Normally, the only requirements for putting a new or repaired and calibrated
governor into service are filling the governor with oil and adjusting the
compensation needle valve to get maximum stability. All other operating
adjustments are made during factory calibration to manufacturer's specifications.
Further adjustment should not be needed. Do not make an internal adjustment of
the governor unless completely familiar with the correct procedure.

Compensation Needle Valve Adjustments

The compensation needle valve is an adjustable part of the compensation
system. Its setting, which affects governor stability, is made according to the
individual characteristics of the prime mover (see Figure 6-1, #12).

To Adjust The Needle Valve:

1 With the prime mover operating at IDLE speed, open the compensation
needle valve until the governor begins to hunt. Let the governor hunt several
minutes to remove trapped air in the hydraulic circuits.

It may be necessary to upset the governor speed momentarily to

cause the governor to hunt.

2. Close the compensation needle valve slowly until hunting just stops. Keep
the needle valve open as far as possible to prevent slow governor response.
The needle valve setting can be from 1/16 to 2 turns open. Do not close the
needle valve tight. The governor cannot operate correctly in this condition.

12 Woodward
Manual 36618 PG-200/PG-300 Case, Accumulator, and Power Cylinder
3. Check the governor stability by manually disturbing the governor speed
setting. The compensation adjustment is satisfactory when the governor
returns to speed with only a small overshoot or undershoot. Once the
needle valve adjustment is correct, it is not necessary to change the setting
unless there is a large permanent change in temperature that will change oil
viscosity. Additional adjustment may be necessary if stability problems exist
at full speed/full load conditions.

Pressure
Oil pump pressure in the PG-200 model should exceed 1379 kPa (200 psi) at
operating speed. Pressure in the PG-300 model should exceed 2068 (300 psi) at
operating speed. To check the internal pressure, attach a pressure gauge in the
.562-18 straight-thread port indicated as oil from booster outlet number 1 in
Figure 1-3 of this manual.

Chapter 4.
Principles of Operation

Introduction
This chapter describes the operation of the basic elements of the PG-200/PG-
300 case, accumulator, and power cylinder assembly. A schematic drawing
(Figure 4-1) shows the working relationship of the various parts. The speed
setting is in the column assembly of the PG-200/PG-300 governor, and only a
short description is given to aid in understanding the basic operation.

The description of operation is separated into two parts:

 Amplifier section
 Governor section

Amplifier Section
Oil Pump and Accumulator
The PG-200/PG-300 has its own oil sump and oil pump. The drive shaft is driven
at a speed proportional to the engine speed by a mechanical connection to the
engine, and rotates the pump drive gear and the rotating bushing. As the inner
pump drive gear turns the outer gear, oil from the sump is drawn by the gear
teeth to the discharge side of the pump. Oil is pushed from the spaces between
the gear teeth as the two gears mesh.

Four check valves, two on the suction and two on the discharge side of the
pump, permit the drive shaft to rotate in either direction without changing the PG-
200/PG-300 operation. If the pump gears were rotated in the opposite direction,
the open check valves would close and the closed check valves would open.

Oil on the discharge side of the pump pushes the accumulator piston against the
accumulator spring. When piston movement uncovers the bypass port, excess
pressure oil from the pump is returned to the sump through the pressurizing
valve or heat exchanger. The accumulator is a reservoir for pressure oil and
operates as a relief valve to limit maximum pressure in this part of the hydraulic
circuit. Pressure is held at a minimum of 1379 kPa (200 psi) in the PG-200, and
2482 kPa (360 psi) in the PG-300.

When the PG-200/PG-300 is used with the optional heat exchanger, oil flows
through the heat exchanger from the accumulator bypass. If the oil flow through
the exchanger becomes restricted, and the pressure reaches 172 kPa (25 psi),
the pressurizing valve opens and directs bypass oil back to sump.

Power Servo
The relay pilot valve controls the flow of 1379 or 2482 kPa (200 or 360 psi) oil to
the power servo assembly. The power piston, working through connecting
linkage, controls the engine or turbine.

14 Woodward
Manual 36618 PG-200/PG-300 Case, Accumulator, and Power Cylinder
The power piston operates as a differential type, requiring pressure oil to move in
either increase fuel or decrease fuel direction. The differential piston has
pressure oil continually directed to the small area side. The constant pressure
tries to move the piston in the decrease fuel direction, but the piston cannot move
to decrease fuel until oil in the passages between the relay piston and the large
area side of the servo piston is released to sump. Oil is connected to the sump
only when the relay pilot valve plunger is below its centered position.

If the relay pilot valve plunger is above the centered position, oil flows to the
control (large area) side of the servo piston. The force that results from oil
pushing on the large surface area which is greater than the constant force on the
loading (small area) side, moves the piston in the increase fuel direction.

The power piston can move only when the relay pilot valve is
uncentered and permits oil to flow.

Governor Section
The governing section of the PG-200/PG-300 has a pressure reducing valve, a
ballhead, pilot valve plunger, rotating bushing, a compensating system, and a
relay servo.

Pressure Reducing Valve

The pressure reducing valve receives the full output of the oil pump and supplies
690 kPa (100 psi) oil to the governing section and additional speed setting and
auxiliary features included in the column assembly. Oil at 1379 or 2482 kPa (200
or 360 psi) enters the pressure reducing valve at the metering piston, where its
flow is controlled by movement of the metering piston. Pressure on the metering
piston that is greater than 690 kPa/100 psi causes it to move left against a
reference spring, closing the pressure reducer to restrict oil flow. Pressure lower
than 690 kPa/100 psi permits the reference spring to move the metering piston to
enlarge the inlet.

Governing Section
The upper end of the rotating bushing holds the ballhead assembly, giving a
direct drive from the prime mover to the flyweights. The thrust bearing on top of
the flyweight toes permits the pilot valve plunger to remain stationary while the
bushing rotates. This reduces friction between the bushing and plunger.

A spring driven, oil dampened ballhead can be used to filter objectionable input
torsionals which could be transferred to the governor control output. These
ballheads are more completely described in the Woodward Service Bulletin
50001.

As the ballhead rotates, centrifugal force developed by the flyweights tries to lift
the pilot valve plunger and is opposed by the force of the speeder spring pushing
down. The greater of the two forces moves the pilot valve plunger.

When the prime mover is on speed at any speed setting, these forces are equal
and the flyweights are in a vertical position. In this position the control land on the
pilot valve plunger is centered over the control port in the rotating bushing. No oil,
other than normal leakage, flows to or from the buffer compensation system or
the relay servo.

A change in either of these two forces moves the plunger from its centered
position. The plunger is lowered (1) when the governor speed setting is
unchanged but additional load slows the prime mover and governor (decreasing
flyweight centrifugal force), or (2) when prime mover speed is not changed but
speeder spring force is increased to raise the governor speed setting. In a similar
way, the pilot valve plunger is raised (1) when governor speed setting is not
changed but load is removed from the prime mover causing an increase in speed
(hence an increase in flyweight centrifugal force), or (2) where prime mover
speed is not changed but speeder spring force is reduced to lower the governor
speed setting.

When there is an underspeed condition, the plunger is lowered and pressure oil
is directed into the buffer and compensation system and relay servo to raise the
relay pilot valve plunger and cause the power piston to move to increase fuel. In
an overspeed condition, the plunger is lifted permitting oil to drain from these
areas to the sump. A return spring moves the relay piston to decrease and also
lowers the relay pilot valve plunger, releasing oil from the left side of the power
servo, allowing movement toward decrease fuel.

A buffer piston-needle valve compensation system which anticipates the inherent

lag in acceleration or deceleration between throttle setting and final speed is
provided in the PG-200/PG-300 control system.

With the governor acting directly on the fuel setting but sensing only actual
engine or turbine speed, extensive overspeed or underspeed would occur at
each speed change were it not for the buffer compensation system. The buffer
piston, springs, and needle valve in the hydraulic circuit between the pilot valve
plunger and the relay servo make up the system.

When the flyweights move the pilot valve off the centered position, oil flow to or
from the small power piston causes a pressure differential across the buffer
piston and needle valve.

The restriction of flow through the needle valve causes oil to flow through the
path that houses the buffer piston and springs and causes the buffer piston to
move against the buffer spring on the low pressure side of the piston. The
amount of pressure differential across this system is controlled by the
combination of needle valve opening and buffer spring scale.

This pressure differential is sensed by the compensation land on the pilot valve,
applying a force tending to oppose the change in force of the flyweights and
move the pilot valve back to the centered position before the set speed is
reached. This negative feedback (droop) reduces overshoot of the set speed and
increases the stability of the control loop. The pressure differential gradually
equalizes through the needle valve and the negative feedback dissipates,
returning speed to the set point.

The rate at which this happens is controlled by the needle valve opening and by
buffer spring scale. Stronger buffer springs increase the effect, or gain, of the
compensation, and the needle valve opening determines the recovery time. The
smaller the opening, the slower the recovery to set speed. The buffer spring scale
is predetermined and specified by the prime mover manufacturer or by Woodward.

PG-200/PG-300
The following two examples show the sequence of events during a speed setting
change or load change. The sequence occurs within the governor almost
simultaneously rather than the step-by-step method described.

Increase of Speed Setting or Load

Increasing speed setting or increasing load on the prime mover operating at any
given speed has an identical effect for the purpose of description. In either of
these conditions, the rotating flyweights move in due to an increase in speeder
spring force, or by the decrease in centrifugal force caused by the decrease in
prime mover speed as load is added. When the flyweights move in, the pilot
valve plunger moves down and directs pressure oil into the compensation
system, causing the buffer piston to move to the right and forcing the relay servo
to move in the increase direction.

As the prime mover accelerates to the set speed, the compensation force gradually
reduces to offset the increasing flyweight force. This is done each time by balancing
the pressures on both sides of the compensation land through the needle valve. This
reduces overshoot to quickly establish stable, on-speed operation.

When large changes in speed setting or load are made, the buffer piston moves
far enough to open a bypass port in the buffer cylinder. This permits oil to flow
directly to the relay servo and lets the governor respond quickly to large changes
in speed setting or load.

Decrease Of Speed Setting Or Load

The results of decreasing the speed setting or load on the prime mover are the
same, and cause an action in the reverse of that described above. The flyweights
move out, lifting the pilot valve plunger, permitting oil to drain from the
compensating system and under the relay servo. The return spring causes the
relay piston to move to decrease. The pressure differential across the
compensation land this time causes a force down to help the speeder spring
center the pilot valve plunger just before the prime mover has completely
decelerated. This stops movement of the relay piston when the correct position is
reached for the new lower speed setting or load.

Compensation Cutoff
With large decreases in speed setting or large load decreases, the small power
piston moves to the minimum fuel position and covers the compensation oil
passage between the small servo and the needle valve to prevent normal
balancing of the compensation pressures. This holds the buffer piston to the left
of center and increases the level of the pressure sent to the upper side of the
compensation land.

The increased pressure differential, added to the compression of the speeder

spring, temporarily increases the governor speed setting. The governor begins
correcting as soon as the engine speed drops below this temporary speed setting
and starts the relay piston restoring the fuel supply in time to prevent a large
underspeed transient. This action is called compensation cut off. When the relay
piston moves up and uncovers the compensation oil passage, normal
compensation is again available and the engine keeps steady-state speed at the
set speed of the governor.

Maintenance

Governor Oil
Use NEW OIL to fill the governor. Be sure that all containers used for governor
oil storage are clean. Contaminated governor oil will cause early wear of
plungers, bushings, gears, bearings, etc., and can cause rust and corrosion on
springs and other internal parts.

Under normal operating conditions, oil should be changed every 12 months. Oil
must be changed more often if the unit operates under unusual temperature or
dirt conditions.

After the governor is put in service, the oil condition should be carefully
monitored until a length of service can be established. A careful check of oil
condition is suggested at least every three months until length of service is
established. Any time the oil looks dirty or appears to be breaking down from
contamination or high temperature, drain the governor oil while it is hot, flush with
the lightest grade of the same oil, and refill the governor with new oil of the
correct viscosity. (See oil viscosity table, Figure 2-1, or refer to Woodward
manual 25071, Recommended Oils for Governors, Actuators.)

Troubleshooting
While a governor problem can show up as speed variations of the prime mover,
not all speed variations of the prime mover are caused by a malfunction of the
governor. When there is a problem, follow these procedures:

1. Check that the load is not beyond the load limit of the prime mover.

2. Be sure the engine cylinders are firing and the fuel injectors are operating
and correctly calibrated.

3. Check the linkage from the governor output to the fuel control. There must
be no binding and a minimum amount of backlash.

4. Check for fuel or steam pressure changes.

5. Be sure the compensating needle valve is set correctly.

6. Check the governor external speed adjusting devices.

7. Check governor oil pressure at the booster outlet port on the PG-200/
PG-300 case. Pressure in the PG-200 should be 1379 kPa (200 psi).
Pressure in the PG-300 should be 2482 kPa (360 psi). Check at operating
temperature and speed.

8. Check the governor oil and replace it if it is dirty. Sometimes the malfunction
of the governor can be corrected by flushing the governor with fuel oil or
kerosene while the governor is operated through a cycle.

9. Check the drive to the governor for any evidence of the governor not being
aligned correctly on the installation pad, rough gears, or backlash.

10. Manual number 36404, Analysis and Correction of PG Governing Troubles,
covers governor malfunctioning and possible causes and corrective actions.

Repair and Disassembly

A governor can operate several years before it will need an overhaul if the oil is
kept clean and the drive from the prime mover is smooth and does not have
torsional vibration.

If disassembly and repair become necessary, the work must be done by

personnel trained in the correct repair procedures.

The accumulator spring (#205 in Figures 6-5 and 6-6) is compressed

and held in the accumulator assembly. In old style accumulators
(Figure 6-5), careless disassembly of the unit can result in injury to
person or damage to equipment. Place the accumulator assembly in
an arbor press to permit a controlled rate of spring expansion. This
does not apply to the newer-style accumulator (Figure 6-6). If in
doubt over which type you have, please check the actual build with
the versions depicted in Figures 6-5 and 6-6.

Woodward Factory Servicing Options

The following factory options for servicing Woodward products are available
through your local Full-Service Distributor or the OEM or Packager of the
equipment system, based on the standard Woodward Product and Service
Warranty (5-01-1205) that is in effect at the time the product is originally shipped
from Woodward or a service is performed:
 Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
 Flat Rate Repair
 Flat Rate Remanufacture

Replacement/Exchange: Replacement/Exchange is a premium program

designed for the user who is in need of immediate service. It allows you to
request and receive a like-new replacement unit in minimum time (usually within
24 hours of the request), providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the
request, thereby minimizing costly downtime. This is a flat-rate program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).

This option allows you to call your Full-Service Distributor in the event of an
unexpected outage, or in advance of a scheduled outage, to request a
replacement control unit. If the unit is available at the time of the call, it can
usually be shipped out within 24 hours. You replace your field control unit with
the like-new replacement and return the field unit to the Full-Service Distributor.

Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned within 60 days, a credit for the core charge will be issued.

Flat Rate Repair: Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard
products in the field. This program offers you repair service for your products with
the advantage of knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries
the standard Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service
Warranty 5-01-1205) on replaced parts and labor.

Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat
Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-
new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty
(Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable
to mechanical products only.
