3.7 Checking propeller
WARNING:
Before inspecting, removing or installing the
propeller, always take actions to ensure the
engine will not accidentally starts, such as
removing the spark plug caps from the spark
plugs, placing the shift control in neutral, and
removing the lanyard from the engine stop
switch, etc.. Serious accident could occur if the engine starts when you are nearby.
Do not use your hand to hold the propeller when loosening or tightening the propeller
nut. Put a wood block between the anti-cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent
the propeller from turning.
1. Check each of the propeller blades for wear, erosion from cavitation or ventilation, or other
damage.
