The Overspeed Verification Test ensures that the overspeed switch in the electronic speed switch will
cause engine shutdown when the engine is running at 75% or more of the overspeed setting.
Run the engine at the rated speed and press the overspeed verification button (1) for a moment. The
button energizes the switch which causes the engine to shutdown. When the engine rpm is 75% or
more of the overspeed setting, engine shutdown should occur when the button is pressed. The engine
overspeed setting is 118% of the rated engine rpm.
This is an example of calculating the correct engine overspeed setting. An engine with a rated speed
of 1800 rpm has an overspeed setting of 2125 rpm. Refer to the Speed Specification Chart. The
overspeed verification test will cause engine shutdown at 75% of the overspeed setting. The
overspeed setting is 118% of the rated engine rpm. In this example, 75% of 2125 is 1594 rpm. When
the engine speed is 1594 ± 25 rpm or more and the overspeed verification button is pressed, the
engine will shut down.
After engine shutdown because of engine overspeed, the overspeed indicator lamp (3) will remain on
until reset button (2) is pressed. Before you start the engine, press reset button (2) for a moment. The
overspeed indicator lamp (3) will turn off. The air inlet shutoff lever and the emergency stop switch
(ES) must also be reset before the engine can be started.
