NSTALLATION
a. Shut off engine, remove key, shift into neutral
and put tape over ignition switch key slot.
b. Straighten the bent tabs on the propeller nut
retainer (Figure 4.4.1).
c. Place a block of wood between the gear case
and propeller to stop propeller from rotating and
remove propeller nut (Figure 4.4.2).
d. Remove the propeller nut retainer, the thrust
hub and the continuity washer (Figure 4.4.3) and
put them in a secure place. Pull the propeller
straight off the shaft. Remove the thrust washer
that is behind the propeller. If the propeller is
seized to the shaft and cannot be removed by
hand, special tools are needed. Have the
propeller removed by an authorized dealer or
trained mechanic.
e. Coat the propeller shaft with an anti-seize
lubricant (Figure 4.4.4).
f. Install the thrust washer, propeller, continuity
washer, thrust hub, propeller nut retainer and
the propeller nut onto the shaft (Figure 4.4.3).
g. Place a block of wood between the gear case
and the propeller (Figure 4.4.5) and torque the
propeller nut to recommended manufacturer’s
specifications. The correct propeller nut torque
is given in your Engine Operator’s Manual in
the Owner’s Manual Packet.
h. Secure the propeller nut by bending three (3)
of the tabs of the propeller nut retainer into the
thrust hub grooves (Figure 4.4.6).
