3-66.3. SYNCHRONIZING MOTOR-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.

a. The hydraulic governor is equipped with a reversible electric synchronizing motor mounted on the

governor cover. This motor permits close adjustment of the engine speed from a remote control point. This

feature is especially valuable when synchronizing two generators from a central control panel.

b. The motor is connected to the source of electrical supply through a two-way switch located on the Main

Switchboard. The friction drive components are assembled to the drive shaft of the synchronizing motor and

extend down through the governor cover. The speed adjusting screw of the friction drive is threaded into the

governor cover and bears directly on the speed adjust lever.
