MAX PROP Easy, Instruction Manual

Page: 11 / 24

On the body of each propeller are two threaded holes (housings), marked with
letters “R” and “L”; a screw/rod is inserted in each hole. The pitch of the propeller,
both in forward and backwards position, can be easily varied by changing how
deeply each screw/rod penetrates the propeller body. If the propeller is right-
handed, the forward motion pitch can be changed by acting on the screw/rod
housed in the hole “R” (right) and the backwards motion pitch by acting on the
screw/rod housed in the hole “L” (left). On the contrary, if the propeller is left-
handed the forward motion pitch can be changed by acting on the screw/rod
housed in the hole “L” and the backwards motion pitch by acting on the screw/
rod housed in the hole “R”.
6.1 HOW TO SET THE FORWARD MOTION PITCH
OF THE PROPELLER
a. The forward motion pitch increases by increasing the penetration depth of the
screw/rod supplied in the propeller body or if a longer screw/rod is inserted.
Vice versa decreases by decreasing the penetration depth of the screw/rod
supplied in the propeller body or if a shorter screw/rod is inserted.
b. Each screw/rod used for setting the pitch is provided with a stamped even
number (consisting of 2 digits), corresponding to a precise propeller pitch.
The higher the number stamped on the screw/rod, the longer the screw/rod,
and the greater is the corresponding forward motion pitch.
c. To make the propeller assume the forward motion pitch stamped on the
screw/rod, it is sufficient to completely screw, up to abutment, the screw/rod
into the respective housing. Then lock the screw/rod in said position with a
threaded grub screw.
NOTE: If in its abutment/stroke position, the grub screw
does not coincide with any of the grooves dug into the head of the screw/rod, it is
necessary to slightly unscrew the screw/rod until the nearest groove coincides
with the position of the grub screw.
Each MAX PROP
®
propeller is supplied with two screws/rods already
inserted in the propeller body. A screw/rod sets the forward motion
pitch; the other screw/rod sets the backwards motion pitch. The pitches,
both in forward and backwards position, are the ones requested at order
confirmation.
