Restrictions and Placards
A. The propellers included in this manual may have a restricted
operating range that requires a cockpit placard.
(1) The restrictions, if present, will vary depending on the

sheet (TCDS), Pilot Operating Handbook (POH), and any
applicable Airworthiness Directives for specific information.

General
A. Personnel Requirements
(1) Inspection, Repair, and Overhaul
(a)
Compliance to the applicable regulatory
requirements established by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) or foreign equivalent is
mandatory for anyone performing or accepting
responsibility for any inspection and/or repair and/or
overhaul of any Hartzell Propeller Inc. product.
(b) Personnel performing maintenance on steel hub
propellers are expected to have sufficient training and
certifications (when required by the applicable Aviation
Authority) to accomplish the work required in a safe
and airworthy manner.
B. Maintenance Practices
(1) The propeller and its components are highly vulnerable
to damage while they are removed from the engine.
Properly protect all components until they are reinstalled
on the engine.
(2) Never attempt to move the aircraft by pulling on the
propeller.
(3) Avoid the use of blade paddles. If blade paddles must
be used, use at least two paddles. Do not put the blade
paddle in the area of the de-ice or anti-icing boot when
applying torque to a blade assembly. Put the blade paddle
in the thickest area of the blade, just outside of the de-ice
or anti-icing boot. Use one blade paddle per blade.
(4) Use only the approved consumables, e.g., cleaning
agents, lubricants, etc.
