(1) Use a beta system puller CST-2987 to compress the
beta system and pull the beta ring forward to permit
installation of the double hex head propeller mounting
bolts. Refer to Figure 3-4.
NOTE 1: Some propeller models have cylinder-mounted
start locks. If the cylinder-mounted start lock
housings interfere with the beta system puller,
plate kit 106804 is available from Hartzell
Propeller Inc. The plate kit 106804 fits over the
start lock housings and has multiple mounting
holes for the beta system puller rods.
NOTE 2: HC-E5A-31 propellers ship from Hartzell
Propeller Inc. with a protective cover, part
number BST-2816-7, installed on the beta
ring.
WARNING 1: THE BETA RING ON THE HC-E5A-31
PROPELLER HAS SHARP EDGES. MAKE
SURE THE BST-2816-7 PROTECTIVE
COVER IS INSTALLED ON THE BETA
RING BEFORE INSTALLAING THE
PROPELLER ON THE ENGINE.
WARNING 2: MAKE SURE THE SLING IS RATED UP TO
800 LBS (363 KG) TO SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY
DURING INSTALLATION.
