--Engine Drive--
Engine Drive Speed Control Linkage
There is seldom any adjustment required to the speed control linkage unless a part has
been removed, replaced or damaged. The engine should run at 3600 RPM with the control
linkage at its maximum adjustment and with no compensation (tube on first layer).
Compensator Adjustment
There is seldom any adjustment required to the compensation linkage unless a part has
been removed, replaced or damaged. This is set at the factory.
To increase compensation during the irrigation run, raise the Compensation Adjustment
Slide in the slot. To decrease the compensation during the irrigation run, lower the
Compensation Adjustment Slide in the slot.

Exercising the Compensation bar and observing the speed change on the speed indicator
will verify the correct degree of compensation.
Engine Drive Shut-Off Switch Adjustment
There is seldom any adjustment required to the speed control linkage unless a part has
been removed, replaced or damaged.
When adjusting the engine shut-off switch, the tube should be on its last layer (or the bar
should be positioned) as shown page 21.
1. Position the bar as if it was on its last layer, the switch ramp should already be in
contact with the wobble switch. The wobble switch should just be on the verge of
“clicking”. When the switch “clicks”, it grounds the engine ignition.
