For One Piece Rear Spinner Bulkhead Installation: 

Step 2: Note the factory position of the spinner rear bulkhead in the 
spinner  dome  in  relation  to  the  blade  cutouts  to  determine  its 
required position on the propeller hub.  The spinner and spinner rear 
bulkhead  have  been  number  coordinated  to  match  the  blade  cutout 
openings.  Using the supplied AN3 bolts and nuts install the spinner 
rear  bulkhead  to  the  spinner  mounting  plates.    The  supplied  flat 
washers  are  to  be  installed  on  the  fiberglass  side.    The  bulkhead  is 
to  be  installed  on  the  aft  side  of  the mounting plates. (The standard 
200C  14”  rear  bulkhead  is  an  exception;  it  is  to  be  installed  on  the 
forward  side  of  the  mounting  plates.  A  slot  is  provided  in  the 
bulkhead  so  it  can  be  slipped  over  the  mounting  plates  into  its 
forward position.) Tighten the bulkhead mounting hardware. 

 

Step  3:  If  used,  lightly  lubricate  the  O-Ring  with  clean  oil  or  O-Ring 
lube  and  carefully  install  the  propeller  on  the  engine  crankshaft  by 
tightening the (6) propeller bolts. 

 

Warning:  To  avoid  severe  damage  to  the  hub,  when  tightening 
the  propeller  bolts  insure  that  the  face  of  the  prop  hub  is  kept 
parallel  with  the  face  of  the  flywheel.    In  most  cases  this  will 
require  tightening  the  propeller  bolts  a  little  at  a  time  in  an 
alternating pattern.
 

 

Step 4: Torque and safety wire the propeller hub bolts.  Refer to data 
sheet  for  torque  (dry,  non-lubricated)  values  (65  ft-lbs  for  ½” 
hardware or 47 ft-lbs for 7/16” hardware).  Safety wire the prop bolts 
in pairs with 0.32” stainless safety wire after installation. 

** Installation with a one piece rear bulkhead is complete. Proceed to 
Section 4.2 ** 

 

For Two Piece Rear Bulkhead Installation: 

Step  5:  Remove  the  (2)  spinner  installation  plates.    Save  them  for 
future use. 

 

Step 6: Note the factory position of the spinner rear bulkhead in the 
spinner  dome  in  relation  to  the  blade  cutouts  to  determine  its 
required position on the propeller hub.  The spinner and spinner rear 
bulkhead  have  been  number  coordinated  to  match  the  blade  cutout 
openings.  Using the supplied AN3 bolts and nuts install the spinner 
rear  bulkhead  to  the  spinner  mounting  plates.    The  supplied  flat 
washers  are  to  be  installed  on  the  fiberglass  side.    The  bulkhead  is 
to  be  installed  on  the  aft  side  of  the  mounting  plates.    Tighten  the 
bulkhead mounting hardware.

4.2   Spinner Dome Installation 
 

Install  the  spinner  dome  onto  the  propeller  hub  and  rear 
bulkhead.    The  spinner  and  spinner  rear bulkhead have been 
number coordinated to match the blade cutout openings. 

 

The spinner dome has a forward bulkhead with a flanged hole 
that  must  engage  the  cylinder  (cap)  on  the  front  of  the 
propeller hub.  The fit of the forward bulkhead to the cylinder is 
to  be  snug  BUT  NOT  SO  TIGHT  that  excessive  force  is 
required to push it on.  If the fit is too tight, sand the inside of 
the  forward  bulkhead  flange.    If  the  fit  is  too  loose,  apply  the 
provided  Teflon  tape  to  the  cylinder.    In  some  cases  a 
combination  of  these  processes  will  be  required  to  obtain  the 
proper fit. 

Fasten  the  spinner  dome  and  blade  cutouts  to  the  rear 
bulkhead using the supplied screws and nylon washers. 

 

IMPORTANT:  Periodically  verify  that  the  spinner  screws 
are tight during the first few hours of operation.
