128 PROJECTOR PEOJECTOB 1. Fire Shutter (Automatic) Sluggish (a) — This may be due to the fact that the governor, and especially the friction shoes, are overoiled. It is advisable to use a heavy oil on these parts and that only in very small amounts. Too much oil allows a slippage of the governor contact and makes the action on the shutter undependable. 2. Fire Shutter Rises Slowly, Drops Too Soon if Speed Is Slightly Reduced (a) — The governor is undoubtedly out of adjustment. It should be examined for wear, loose parts, and misadjustment, and should be corrected wherever any fault is found. (b) — The governor friction shoes are overoiled. Less oil should be used. 3. Fire Shutter Fails to Work (a) — This, most probably, is due to a broken or disconnected governor. Examine it and adjust or replace the broken part.
