CAUTION 1: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BLADE AND
BLADE PAINT, WRAP THE BLADE SHANKS IN
SEVERAL LAYERS OF MASKING OR DUCT
TAPE BEFORE INSTALLING THE SPINNER
DOME. REMOVE THE TAPE AFTER THE
SPINNER IS INSTALLED.
CAUTION 2: THE SPINNER DOME WILL WOBBLE
IF NOT ALIGNED CORRECTLY. THIS

A. General
(1) The following instructions apply to Hartzell Propeller Inc.
spinners only. In some cases, the airframe manufacturer
produced the spinner assembly. If so, refer to the airframe
manufacturer’s manual for spinner installation instructions.
B. Installing the Spinner Dome
(1) Examine the interior of the spinner dome. If the spinner
dome has a forward bulkhead that encircles the propeller
cylinder, the cylinder may need to be wrapped with one
or more layers of UHMW tape (Hartzell Propeller Inc.
P/N B-6654-100).
CAUTION:
THE SPINNER DOME INTERNAL
SUPPORT MUST FIT SNUGLY ON
THE CYLINDER. AN INCORRECTLY
SUPPORTED DOME COULD CAUSE
CYLINDER DAMAGE OR A CRACK IN THE
DOME OR BULKHEAD.
(2) Install the spinner dome and examine for a snug fit
where the internal support contacts the cylinder.
(a) If the support does not fit snugly on the cylinder,
apply a layer of UHMW tape and re-examine.
(b) Repeat until the spinner support fits snugly on
the cylinder.
