Factory supplied special grease EP/SAL is recommende and available from your VARIPROP distributor.
Avoid regular white grease (sterntube-grease)!
Shock-absorber:
The integrated mechanical shock-absorber reduces unpleasant operating noises. The
pitch stops are substantially protected against wear. At rotating the blades by hand, you can feel the shock-

Zinc anode:
Make sure that you always keep the zinc anode in good condition. The Variprop must be
protected by a lot of zinc, so also use a zinc anode onto the shaft if possible. Use fine sandpaper to clean the
aft of the end boss and the forward face of the Variprop-anode to give the zinc good contact with the
