2. Pre-Installation
A. Inspection of Shipping Package
(1) Examine the exterior of the shipping container for signs
of shipping damage, especially at the box ends around
each blade. A hole, tear or crushed appearance at
the end of the box (at the propeller tips) may indicate
the propeller was dropped during shipment, possibly
damaging the blades.
B. Uncrating
(1) Place the propeller on a firm support.
(2) Remove the banding and any external wood bracing
from the cardboard shipping container.
(3) Remove the cardboard from the hub and blades.
CAUTION:
DO NOT STAND THE PROPELLER ON A
BLADE TIP.
(4) Put the propeller on a padded surface or surfaces to
support the propeller.
(5) Remove the plastic dust cover cup from the propeller
mounting flange, if installed.
C. Inspection after Shipment
(1) After removing the propeller from the shipping container,
examine the propeller components for shipping damage.
D. Reassembly of a Propeller Disassembled for Shipment
(1) If a propeller was received disassembled for shipment,
it must be reassembled by trained personnel in
accordance with Hartzell Propeller Inc. Overhaul and
Maintenance Manual 152 (61-10-52).
