OF THE PROPELLER, THE PISTON NUT
MAY HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO PERMIT
ROTATING OF THE BLADES BEFORE
PACKAGING.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF THE
PISTON NUT WAS NOT REMOVED, THE
PROPELLER MUST BE PUT IN FEATHER
POSITION BEFORE IT IS INSTALLED ON
THE AIRCRAFT.
WARNING 2
: MAKE SURE THE SLING IS RATED UP TO
800 POUNDS (363 KG) TO SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY
DURING REMOVAL.
CAUTION

WHEN INSTALLING THE PROPELLER
ON THE AIRCRAFT, DO NOT DAMAGE
THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM
COMPONENTS, IF APPLICABLE.
(6) With a suitable crane hoist and sling, carefully move the
propeller assembly to the aircraft engine mounting flange
in preparation for installation.
(7) Align the two mounting bolts (already installed in the
propeller hub flange) with the threaded bushings in the
engine flange.
NOTE
: Two propeller mounting bolts will already be
installed in the propeller flange. Interference
with blade clamps requires that the bolts be
installed during propeller assembly.
