Propeller Technical Manual JPM0001-1 Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd 4A482U0D And 4A484E0D Propellers 4.7 Maintenance Procedures 4.7.1 Acceptance Checking Propellers supplied are balanced before shipping. Balancing before fitting to an aircraft is not necessary. Visually inspect propeller to ensure that it has not been damaged in transit. Check that the propeller drive bushes are a neat fit in the sockets of the propeller. Section 5.5 gives details. 4.7.2 Procedure – Removal of Existing Propeller Figure 7 shows a typical propeller installation. 1. Remove Machine Screws and Tinnerman Washers from Spinner. 2. Remove Spinner. 3. Unbolt Propeller Bolts - 4 off. 4. Remove Bolts, Spinner Flanges, Washers and Propeller. 4.7.3 Procedure - Propeller Assembly 1. Place the rear hub plate on a flat bench. 2. Fit the two blades to the hub. By design there is a small space between the inner ends of the two blades (Figure 4). Care must be taken to ensure that the blades are positioned with their retaining shoulders hard against the matching shoulders of the hub (i.e. with the gap between blades as large as possible). Failure to achieve this can result in one blade being positioned differently to the other, resulting in an out of balance condition and increased vibration. 3. Place the front hub plate on the assembly, taking care to align it with the pitch lock pins in the blades (where equipped). 4. Loosely fit the 4 outer blade clamp bolts to the hub assembly. 5. Gradually tighten the 4 clamp bolts to the value given in Table 5. This is to “settle” the blades into the hub. 6. Ensure that the gap between the front and rear hubs is even on both sides (Figure 5). 7. Loosen the clamp screws. 8. For propellers without pitch lock pins, use a static jig to set the blade angles.
