Ah ok then that is strange, but its better to be this way. Does this governor have an initial speed trip, then a further safety trip? Is there a hatchway for access to the governor without going into the shaft? You might have to remove the rope and do a dyno test on the trip speed. We never had that so to test it would have been a nightmare.
