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.
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be performed before

device, make sure the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery
from the system.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read
and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and
Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.

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 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.
Flat Rate Repair: Flat Rate Repair is available for many of the standard mechanical products and some of the
electronic 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.
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. This option is applicable to mechanical products only.
Returning Equipment for Repair
If a control (or any part of an electronic control) is to be returned for repair, please contact your Full-Service
Distributor in advance to obtain Return Authorization and shipping instructions.
When shipping the item(s), attach a tag with the following information:
return number; name and location where the control is installed;
name and phone number of contact person; complete Woodward part number(s) and serial number(s);
description of the problem; instructions describing the desired type of repair.
