the sides of the boom. Slide the cowling onto the boom,

cause serious injury. Always check the motor without the

propeller to avoid injury.

balanced before installing onto the shaft. An unbalanced

propeller may strip the gears or cause poor flight

characteristics.

on the prop shaft of the gearbox. The spinner backplate

will actually be installed in front of the propeller.

Note: Pay close attention to the orientation of the

propellers as shown in the photos.
