61.10.20 Adjusting Pitch Angle
The setting for the XT 582 is 19 degrees measured on the flat section of the blade at a radius of 24
inches and relative to the flat rear face on the propeller hub. The tolerance on this angle is +/- 0.5 Deg.
But should be as close as possible. The best visual clue for this is the mould separation line on the
blade – it should be close to the gap between the hub halves at the quoted pitch.
The blade angles can be set using a digital level. There are six steps that are required to perform the
measurements.

61.10.22 Ensure Prop Hub is vertical
Level the base of the trike so that the prop hub is vertical. This is achieved by using shims under the
front wheel to lift it until the flat surface of the rear of the prop hub is vertical.
