WARNING

Performing service or maintenance without first disconnecting the

battery can cause product damage, personal injury, or death due to

fire, explosion, electrical shock, or unexpected motor starting. Always

disconnect the battery cables from the battery before maintaining,

servicing, installing, or removing motor components.

REMOVING THE PROPELLER

1. Disconnect the battery cables from the power source.
2. While holding the propeller blade with one hand, use a propeller

wrench or pliers to remove the propeller nut.

IMPORTANT: If the propeller cannot be removed easily, hold one

blade and use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the backside of the opposite

blade. If the propeller cannot be removed, refer to Owner Service

Assistance ‑ Troubleshooting.
