3. Pre-Installation
A. Inspection of Shipping Package
Examine the exterior of the shipping container, especially
the box ends around each blade, for signs of shipping
damage. A hole, tear, or crushed appearance at the end
of the box (blade tips) may indicate that the propeller was
dropped during shipment, possibly damaging the blades.
B. Uncrating
(1) Put the propeller on a firm support.
(2) Remove the banding and any external wood bracing, if
applicable, from the shipping container.
(3) Remove the cardboard from the hub and blades. Put
the propeller on a padded surface that supports the
propeller over a large area. Never stand the propeller
on a blade tip.
(4) On flange mounted models, remove the plastic dust
cover cup from the propeller mounting flange (if
installed).
C. Inspection after Shipment
After removing the propeller from the shipping container,
examine the propeller components for possible shipping
damage.
D. Propeller Reassembly
If the propeller was received disassembled for shipment, it
must be reassembled by trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable propeller maintenance manual.
