Pictures correspond to the written instructions
that are numbered. DO NOT attempt to install your propeller without reading the
written instructions FIRST! Please note that the new Apex series hub is not
pictured here but the process for assembly is exactly the same.
1.
Set the
bottom half of the hub on the table with the cavities facing up.
2.
Place the
blades in the hub, labels up.
3.
Place the top
half of the hub on and put in the bolts.
4.
Tighten the
bolts evenly. The blades must still be able to turn in the hubs.
5.
Turn and pull
hard to seat the blades outward.
6.
Mount and
tighten the center bolts. Make sure the blades still turn.
7.
It's easier
if you work in the same position with every blade.
8.
Put the pin
in the little hole.
9.
Combine the
proper feelers to make .095".
10.
Place the
feelers in the gap between the pin and the window edge. See the written
instructions for which side of the pin to place the feelers. Turn the blade
firmly to squeeze the feelers.
11.
Holding
turning pressure, tighten the two outside bolts by going back and forth in 1/4
turns until the blade can no longer turn.
12.
Tighten the
inside bolts fairly snug. Criss-cross as you go so the bolts go down evenly.
13.
Apply torque
evenly to all bolts by going 1/4 turn on each bolt until you reach 175 inch
pounds on every bolt.
14.
Time to do a
runup and see how you did.
