Applications

The Homelite DJ168F-15001-A Governor Arm Shaft is used in equipment powered by compatible DJ168F-series engines.

Documented applications include:

• Homelite UT80522F Pressure Washer
• Select Homelite pressure washers

• Compatible DJ168F-series engines
• Small-engine governor assemblies

For example, the Homelite UT80522F Pressure Washer parts diagram identifies DJ168F-15001-A specifically as “Shaft, Governor Arm.” The same diagram lists the associated governor shaft washer, lock pin, governor arm, governor arm bolt, throttle-return spring, governor rod, and governor spring.

Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific equipment model, manufacturing number, engine model, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite OEM parts suppliers identify DJ168F-15001-A specifically as “SHAFT GOVERNOR ARM.”
• Factory engine documentation may alternatively identify the component as “Shaft, Governor Assy.”
• This component is part of the engine's mechanical governor and speed-control system.
• On applicable assemblies, DJ168F-15001-A works with DJ168F-15003-A Lock Pin, DJ168F-15004-A Governor Arm, DJ168F-15005-A Governor Arm Bolt, DJ168F-15006-A Governor Rod, and the applicable governor spring.
• The UT80522F diagram also identifies DJ168F-15002-A as the Governor Arm Shaft Washer, which is a separate component.
• Do not confuse the DJ168F-15001-A Governor Arm Shaft with the governor arm itself. The shaft and arm are separate components within the governor assembly.
• Do not select a replacement governor shaft based solely on appearance. Shaft diameter, length, engagement features, mounting configuration, and engine application can vary between similar engines.
• Inspect the governor arm, shaft washer, lock pin, governor rod, governor spring, throttle-return spring, and associated linkage when replacing the shaft.
• If the original shaft is bent, binding, or excessively worn, inspect the mating governor components for corresponding wear or damage.
• Governor linkage must move freely without excessive play, binding, or interference.
• Maintain the original governor spring and linkage positions during installation. Incorrect governor adjustment can cause improper engine speed.
• Avoid changing governor settings beyond the manufacturer's specified adjustment procedure, as excessive engine speed can damage the engine or attached equipment.
• Install the replacement shaft in the same factory position and orientation as the original component.
• Verify proper governor and throttle operation according to the applicable manufacturer service procedure before returning the equipment to normal use.
• Shut down the equipment, allow the engine to cool completely, disconnect the spark plug where applicable, and follow manufacturer service procedures before performing repairs.
• This listing is for one Homelite DJ168F-15001-A Governor Arm Shaft only unless otherwise specified. Governor arms, washers, lock pins, rods, springs, bolts, centrifugal governor components, and other engine parts are sold separately.
• Match part number DJ168F-15001-A with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
