(4) See Figure 3-9. Install the O-ring in the O-ring groove in the rear of the hub. See Table 3-4 for the applicable O-ring and mounting hardware.NOTE: When the propeller is received from the

factory, the O-ring has been installed.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO INSTALL THE PROPELLER IS RATED UP TO 800 LBS. (363 KG) TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY DURING INSTALLATION. ONE PERSON MUST NEVER ATTEMPT TO INSTALL AN UNSUPPORTED PROPELLER BY HIMSELF, REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OR WEIGHT OF THE PROPELLER. MANUALLY LIFTING THE PROPELLER ONTO THE ENGINE CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

CAUTION 1: A PROPELLER MUST BE CORRECTLY SUPPORTED DURING INSTALLATION ON THE ENGINE. AVOID ANY ROCKING OR SHIFTING OF THE PROPELLER WHEN IT IS PARTIALLY ENGAGED WITH THE ENGINE. ROCKING OF THE PROPELLER DURING PROPELLER INSTALLATION CAN DAMAGE THE PROPELLER HUB MOUNTING FACE, CAUSING ACTUATION OIL LEAKAGE OR DAMAGE THAT MAY SCRAP THE HUB. HUB DAMAGE CAN ALSO INTRODUCE METAL INTO THE PROPELLER OIL ACTUATION SYSTEM, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE.



Rev. 17 Jul/12

CAUTION 2: WHEN INSTALLING THE PROPELLER ON THE AIRCRAFT, DO NOT DAMAGE THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS, IF APPLICABLE.

(5) With a suitable support, such as a crane hoist or similar equipment, carefully move the propeller assembly to the aircraft engine mounting flange in preparation for installation.

(6) Install the propeller on the engine flange. Align the engine flange bushings with the corresponding holes in the propeller flange.(a) An “R” flange propeller may be installed on a “K”

engine flange in a given position, or 180 degrees from that position.

(b) An “R” flange propeller may be installed on an “R” engine flange in one position only.

(c) A “K” flange propeller may be installed only on a “K” engine flange, but may be installed in a given position, or 180 degrees from that position.

(d) Check the engine and airframe manuals to determine if either manual specifies a propeller mounting position.

CAUTION 1: MOUNTING HARDWARE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE PRELOAD OF THE MOUNTING FLANGE.

CAUTION 2: TIGHTEN NUTS EVENLY TO AVOID HUB DAMAGE.

(7) Torque the 1/2 inch propeller mounting studs (dry) in accordance with Table 3-1, Figure 3-1, and Figure 3-2. Safety wire the studs in pairs (if required by the aircraft maintenance manual) at the rear of the propeller mounting flange. Refer to Figure 3-6.(a) If the propeller is removed between overhaul

intervals, mounting studs may be reused if they are not damaged or corroded.



Rev. 17 Jul/12

B. Two-Piece Spinner Dome (Procedure 1)(1) General

(a) A spinner dome that is installed using Procedure 1 may be identified by the lock nut “A” at the top of the cylinder. The lock nut “A” will have a “step” facing away from the cylinder as illustrated in Figure 3-11.1 Lock nut “A” may have drilled holes for safety

wire, but safety wire is not required in this location.

(b) The following instructions relate to Hartzell Propeller Inc. spinners only. In some cases, the airframe manufacturer produced the spinner assembly. If so, refer to the airframe manufacturer’s manual for spinner installation instructions.

(2) Procedure - Refer to Figure 3-11. (a) Install the spinner dome. (b) Push the spinner dome toward the bulkhead to

align the spinner mounting holes with those of the bulkhead.

(c) Using screws and washers, attach the spinner to the bulkhead or adapter ring. Refer to Table 3-5.

(d) Install the lock nut “B” on the low pitch stop. Refer to Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1 for lock nut torque.

(e) Safety wire the lock nut “B” to each of the two screws on the flat face of the spinner dome surrounding the lock nut “B”.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE SCREWS DO NOT EXTEND MORE THAN THREE THREADS PAST THE BULKHEAD NUTPLATES. IF THE SCREWS EXTEND MORE THAN THREE THREADS, THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT COWLING.

(f) Using flat head screws, attach the spinner dome cap to the spinner dome. Refer to Table 3-5.

1. Operational Tests

CAUTION: INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION MAY INVOLVE PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE INTRODUCTION CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST CHAPTER OF THE APPLICABLE OVERHAUL MANUAL(S) FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS.

A. General(1) The propeller must be installed on an application using

a propeller governor.(2) Perform the test after propeller installation and before

every flight.(3) The propeller system must be purged of air and correct

operation verified.B. Initial Run-Up

(1) Perform engine start and warm-up per the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH).

CAUTION: AIR TRAPPED IN THE PROPELLER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WILL CAUSE THE PITCH CONTROL TO BE IMPRECISE AND MAY RESULT IN PROPELLER SURGING.

(2) Cycle the propeller control throughout its operating range from low to high (or as directed by the POH).

(3) Repeat this procedure at least three times to purge air from the propeller hydraulic system and to introduce warmed oil to the cylinder.NOTE: Pitch change response on the first operation

from low to high blade pitch may be slow, but should speed up on the second and third cycles.

(4) Verify proper operation from low pitch to high pitch and throughout operating range.

(5) Shut down the engine in accordance with the POH.



Rev. 20 Mar/14

C. Static RPM CheckNOTE: This operational check should be performed after

installation, maintenance, or propeller adjustment.CAUTION: A CALIBRATED TACHOMETER MUST

BE USED TO MAKE SURE OF THE ACCURACY OF THE RPM CHECK.

(1) Set the brakes and chock the aircraft or tie aircraft down. (2) Back the governor Maximum RPM Stop out one turn.(3) Start the engine.(4) Advance the propeller control lever to MAX (max RPM),

then retard the control lever one inch (25.4 mm).(5) SLOWLY advance the throttle to maximum manifold

pressure.(6) Slowly advance the propeller control lever until the engine

speed stabilizes.(a) If engine speed stabilizes at the maximum power

static RPM specified by the TC or STC holder, then the low pitch stop is set correctly.

(b) If engine speed stabilizes above or below the rated RPM, the low pitch stop may require adjustment. Refer to the Maintenance Practices chapter of this manual.
