1.
Remove the clevis pin from the fuel rod and the right cylinder bank injector control tube lever.

all of the injector rack control levers are free on the injector control tubes.
3.
Move the speed control lever to the maximum speed position.
4.
Move the stop lever to the run position and hold it in that position with light finger pressure. Turn the inner
adjusting screw of the No. 3L injector rack control lever down (Fig. 3) until a slight movement of the control tube is
observed, or a step-up in effort to turn the screw driver is noted. This will place the No. 3L injector rack in the full-fuel
