Tighten the caps screws progressively with a wrench.

Do this evenly as in mounting an automobile wheel.

Take a part turn on each cap screw successively until

all are tightened to the torque shown in Table 1.

These cap screws force the tapered bushing into the

hub, which in turn compresses the bushing on to the

shaft.

WARNING: Do not attempt to pull the bushing flange

flush with the hub end. There should be 1/8" to 1/4"

clearance when tightened.

Removing the Propeller Assembly
from the Shaft

The propeller is easily removed from the shaft by insert-

ing and tightening two of the cap screws into the

tapped holes in the bushing flange. This forces the

bushing loose from the propeller and releases the com-

pression so that the entire assembly will slide off the

shaft.

1. Remove all the cap screws from the propeller and

hub assembly.

2. Start the cap screws into the threaded holes in the

bushing flange.

3. Tighten each bolt part of a turn successively to force

the propeller off the bushing.

4. Pull the bushing off the shaft. If the assembly has

been in place for some time, it may be necessary to

use a wheel puller to remove the bushing. Never use

a wheel puller on the propeller.
