Installation of the Motor Propeller
Before installing the propeller, make sure the battery is disconnected
from the motor, then follow the steps below to finish the setup:
1. Insert the drive pin into the small hole on the motor output shaft.
2. Slide the propeller onto the motor output shaft.
3. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin is seated correctly in the
corresponding channel on the backside of the propeller.
4. Place the washer on the motor shaft after the propeller.
5. Place the M8 hex nut on the shaft and hand tighten it. Once hand
tight, hold the propeller still and use a wrench to tighten the nut
until snug, then rotate the wrench 1/8th turn further.
6. If you’ve followed these steps, it’s not going anywhere.

Do not overtighten the nut, this can bend the
drive pin and cause the propeller to rub against the motor housing.
