The second setting is full load, which is a
"reference position" where the fuel control linkage is held
while the torque rise cam is adjusted.  This is a
temporary setting set with the synchronizing pin. This
setting is shown in the Fuel Setting and Related
Information Fiche as "full load."
Torque rise fuel setting is greater than full load
fuel setting, thus making the torque rise setting the
"maximum travel" setting of the fuel control linkage.
