Moving the switch down changes propeller pitch in the coarse
direction. The Coarse indicator light should indicate orange
during the operation.
•
With the Automatic / Manual Selector switch set to AUTO and
the Propeller Control Selector knob selected to HOLD mode, the
Manual Propeller Control switch is used to set a pilot selected
propeller governing speed.
Actuate the switch to change propeller pitch in the direction
desired. When the desired speed (rpm) is reached, release the
switch. The engine/propeller speed will be governed to that
speed. Finally, set the desired power with the throttle.
NOTE
When power is initially applied to the propeller controller,
the speed setting at which the HOLD mode will govern the
propeller is set equal to the pre-set CRUISE mode
governing speed, until altered by pilot selection.
