MAX PROP Easy, Instruction Manual

Page: 4 / 24

Thank you for choosing an automatic feathering propeller MAX PROP
®
. This
instruction manual will be used to answer your questions on installation and
use of the propeller. Please read this manual carefully and verify the correct
working of the propeller before installing it on your boat.
The propeller is supplied already assembled for right or left rotation (according
to information received when the order was made) and with the required pitch
and required diameter, so that it can be directly installed on the propeller shaft
as a common fixed-pitch propeller. Please note that the MAX PROP
®
propeller
parts are not interchangeable, so make sure that if you receive more than one
propeller at the same time (for example if two propellers have to be installed on
a boat, like in a catamaran) you must therefore be very careful not to interchange
parts.
1. INTRODUCTION
2. CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE MOUNTING
THE MAX PROP PROPELLER ON THE PROPELLER SHAFT
a. Check that the values of the pitch and diameter set on your propeller are
optimal for your boat. If you have any doubts please refer to sections 5 and 6,
concerning the calculation, setting and variation of the propeller pitch.
b. Check that the direction of your propeller rotation coincides with the direction
of the shaft rotation of your boat. If you have doubts about the shaft rotation,
put into forward gear and look the propeller from the stern of the boat to the
bow. If the shaft rotates clockwise, the rotation is right-handed; by contrast,
if it rotates counterclockwise, the rotation is left-handed.
