GA-UL260-2B

For   UL  Engines 

1. 

Rotate the blade to a recommended starting 
angle of 17°. The blade and angle combination 
generate a static RPM of roughly 2500.

2. 

Rotate propeller 180° and repeat Steps 1-3 
for the other blade.

After the blade pitch is set on both blades, 

torque the Clamping Bolts to the 
appropriate Value 

(Table 1, Page 1). Follow 

the symmetrical pattern and tightening each 
bolt 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time. It is important to 
maintain an even gap between the hub half 
to prevent a change in pitch angle.

NOTE

: after all mounting and clamping bolts 

have been properly tightened, Check the 
blade angles again to make sure they have 
not changed.

IMPORTANT

:

 After the first 5 hours of 

operation, or any blade angle (pitch) change, 
re-check all hub mounting bolts and blade 
clamping bolts torque values.

NOTE

: To lower RPM, increase the blade pitch. 

To increase RPM, decrease the blade pitch. 
NEVER MASK AN ENGINE PROBLEM WITH 
A PITCH CHANGE. If you are unsure, please 
contact the factory

NOTE

: both pitch angles should be within 

0.20 degrees of each other.

NOTE

: After every 25 hours of use check bolt
