PROPELLER INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPELLER

It is very important to check to be sure the propeller

is balanced after the hole has been enlarged. An

unbalanced propeller may strip the gears or cause

poor flight characteristics.

A. Use a drill and 3/8-inch (9.5mm) drill bit or

a propeller reamer to enlarge the hole in the

propeller so it will fit on the aluminum spinner.

B. Slide the propeller on the threaded shaft of

the spinner adapter. Make sure the numbers

embossed on the propeller are facing away from

the spinner backplate.

C. Slide the washer included with the spinner

assembly on the threaded shaft. The nut included

with the spinner assemble is then threaded on the

shaft. Only thread the nut 2–3 turns: it does not

need to be tightened at this time.
