Speeds can be selected by turning the handle clockwise for forward speeds or anti-clockwise for reverse speeds.
To disengage, simply centre the handle between forward and reverse speeds.
Assembling the Propeller
To assemble the propeller, place the Prop Aligner Pin (1) into the little hole of the prop bolt. Place the propeller (2) onto the bolt
making sure to align the pin with the groove in the propeller. Finally screw prop nut (3) on and tighten prop nut securely by holding
the propeller with your hand whilst tightening the nut with the propeller wrench (Fig. D)
Replacing the Propeller
To replace the propeller hold the blade and loosen the nut using the propeller wrench (Fig. D).
Remove the nut and propeller. If propeller is stuck, hold one blade by hand and tap on the back side of the other blade with a hard
blunt object. If necessary, repeat the procedure for the other blade until the propeller comes off. If propeller pin is bent, replace it.
Align pin (Fig. E) when refitting propeller and tighten nut securely.
CAUTION: Do not strike bent propeller pin with hammer to remove pin, damage to armature may occur that would not be
covered by warranty.
