PROPELLER POWER TURBINE GOVERNOR

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. General
NOTE: The propellerpower turbine governor can be adjusted or replaced as dictated by the engine
trouble condition encountered.
2. Replacement (See Figure 201)
Replace the power turbine fuel governor if it is found to be the cause of engine malfunction. (Check the
maximum speed stop and the aircraft rigging for erroneous settings before removal of the governor to
correct engine malfunction.)
A. Removal
CAUTION: WHEN THE PROPELLERPOWER TURBINE GOVERNOR IS BEING REMOVED,
MAKE SURE TO PREVENT FOREIGN MATERIALS FROM ENTERING THE
PNEUMATIC LINES OR GOVERNOR PORTS.
Remove the propellerpower turbine governor from the engine as follows: (See Figure 201,
730000)
(1) Remove attached tubes and linkage.
(a) Loosen coupling nuts and separate propeller operating (servo) oil line from the governor
assembly.
(b) Loosen coupling nuts and remove the Py pneumatic tube from the elbows of the governor
and fuel control.
(c) Remove the power turbine governor and the propeller governor linkage.
(2) Remove four nuts and washers and separate the governor assembly from the reduction
gearbox.
(3) If a new governor assembly is to be installed, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Use the plastic protective cover to protect the drive shaft from the work bench when
removing the fittings.
(a) Loosen the jam nut and remove the elbow from the Py pressure port.
(b) Loosen the jam nut and remove the elbowfilter assembly from the propeller control oil
port.
B. Installation
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
Install the power turbine governor on the engine as follows:
(1) If a new governor assembly is to be installed, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Use a plastic protective cover to protect the drive shaft from the work bench when
installing the fittings.
(a) Place a new packing on the elbowfilter assembly and install in the propeller control oil
port. Do not tighten the jam nut.
(b) Thoroughly clean inside the elbow with mineral spirits. Shake then air dry.
(c) Place a new packing on the elbow and install in the Py pressure port. Do not tighten the
jam nut.

(2) Coat the drive splines with Lubriplate 130A, 930AA or equivalent.
CAUTION: IF THE BEVEL GEAR LUGS ARE NOT FULLY SEATED IN THE COUPLING
SLOTS, INSTALLATION OF THE GOVERNOR WILL BEND THE DRIVE LUGS.
(3) Rotate the prop governor coupling in the reduction gearbox by hand until the slots of the
coupling are fully engaged with the lugs of the prop governor driven bevel gear. When
engagement is made the coupling will no longer turn and the coupling will be slightly below the
drive pad face.
CAUTION: TO ENSURE THAT PROPER ALIGNMENT IS ACHIEVED BETWEEN THE
GOVERNOR, DRIVE SHAFT AND BEVEL DRIVE GEAR AT THE TIME OF
GOVERNOR INSTALLATION, ENSURE THAT NUTS ARE SECURED IN PROPER
SEQUENCE.
(4) Position the governor assembly with a new gasket on the drive pad. Hold the governor flush
with its mating mounting pad and tighten the top RH nut first. Next install and tighten the lower
LH nut. Then install remaining two nuts. Tighten the nuts to 7085 lb in. (7.99.6 N.m).
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
(5) Attach the propeller operating (servo) oil tube to the governor assembly. Tighten coupling nut
to 80120 lb in. (9.013.6 N.m). Tighten the elbow jam nut to 5580 lb in. (6.29.0 N.m).
NOTE: Be sure the procedures and precautions of Rigid Tube Installation (720000,
Engine Servicing), are observed when installing fuel system tubes.

(6) Thoroughly clean inside the removed Py line using mineral spirits. Shake then air dry. Attach
the line to the governor and to the fuel control. Tighten the coupling nut to 80120 lb in.
(9.013.6 N.m). Tighten the elbow jam nut to 5580 lb in. (6.29.0 N.m).
(7) Attach linkages to the power turbine lever and propeller governor lever. (Refer to Coordinator
Rigging, para 2.A. and 2.B., 761001.)
(8) Make appropriate entry relative to governor assembly replacement in the Engine Log.
(9) Check run the engine after propellerpower turbine governor replacement. (Refer to Check
Run, para 1., 720000, Engine Adjustment/Test.)
(10) Perform the propellerpower turbine governor functional feathering check. (Refer to
PropellerPower Turbine Governor Functional Feathering Check, para 7.M., 720000, Engine
Description and Operation.)
3. Adjustments
The adjustment that can be made on the propellerpower turbine governor is the propeller governor
maximum speed stop.
A. Maximum Speed Stop Adjustment
NOTE: Do not make the max speed stop adjustment if 105% N2 speed can be reached. Also, do
not use this adjustment to correct normal maintenance items such as oil leaks caused by
damaged packings in the propeller and beta valve system, misrigging or faulty aircraft
gages, tachometers etc.
(1) Remove the lockwire securing the max speed stop screw and locknut (See Figure 201).
(2) Adjust the screw counterclockwise to increase or clockwise to decrease power turbine (N2)
speed. One turn changes N2 speed 2530 rpm.
(3) After the adjustment has been made, tighten the screw locknut to 1822 lb in. (2.02.5 N.m)
and secure with lockwire.
(4) Following an adjustment of the maximum speed stop, adjust the propeller governor control
cable rod end to ensure that the propeller governor lever contacts the maximum speed stop.
(5) Make a rigging check. (Refer to Rigging Check, para 1.A., 760000.)
CAUTION: N2 SPEED MUST NOT EXCEED 105% DURING CONTINUOUS OPERATION.
(6) Check run the engine to ensure that N2 speed is within acceptable operating range after the
maximum speed stop adjustment has been made. (Refer to Check Run, para 1., 720000,
Engine Adjustment/Test.)
