Abstract
A governor comprising an output setting means for setting an output value for an engine, an output adjusting means for adjusting an engine output based on a value set by the output setting means, and a load detecting means. The load detecting means is provided in a transmission system for driving a vehicle for detecting an amount of load torque generated through rotational resistance applied on the axles that is transmitted from the axles to the engine through the transmission system. The governor is a load detecting type governor in which the engine output is controlled to increase in response to the generated load torque detected by the load detecting means by displacing a position of the output adjusting means, as defined by the output setting means, to an output increasing side in accordance with a detected value of load torque and to maintain the engine output in the position, as defined by the output setting means, even upon detection of load torque by the load detecting means when the set value of the output setting means is an initial value or in a specified low output set region including the initial value. Further, the governor operates to increase a response speed of the…
