INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a feathering propeller MAX PROP
®
WHISPER. This instruction
manual will be used to answer all your questions about installation and use of the
propeller. It is very important to read it carefully and verify the correct operation of
the propeller before installing it on your boat.
INSTALLATION
Please carry out the various operations referring to fig. 1. The propeller is supplied
already assembled for right or left rotation, according to information received when
the order was made, and with a specific required pitch, so that it can be directly
installed on the propeller shaft as a common fixed-pitch propeller. We remind you
that MAX PROP
®
WHISPER parts are not interchangeable. If you receive more than one
propeller at the same time (for example if two propellers have to be installed on a
boat), and for any reason the received propellers are opened, you must therefore be
very careful not to mix the disassembled pieces.
a. Fit the already assembled propeller on the drive shaft, like a fixed-pitch propeller,
verify that the key has the appropriate size: it should have clearance on the
upper surface in order to prevent the propeller from being brought off center, but
between the side surfaces there should be no clearance.
b. Tighten the nut and lock it by using the two locking-nut screws which should be
inserted and tighten into the proper seats.
