Page 10: Important Warnings
PROPELLER USE The MAX PROP WHISPER propeller works completely automatically. It takes the pitch ® when the drive shaft is rotated to travel forward or backwards (WARNING: reversing the rotation when the number of revolutions is too high is definitely inadvisable). The propeller feathers when engine is off, starting from the position to travel forward, with the propeller shaft locked. - Page 11 PROPELLER DISASSEMBLY In order to remove the propeller you must first remove the zinc and the nut-locking screws; then fasten a perforated washer, supplied only on request, on the zinc-holding ring by means of five threaded grub screws (fig. 8). Screw the five threaded grub screws (long enough and provided with five nuts) into the five threaded holes obtained in the zinc-holding ring, making sure that all five threaded grub screws are tightened to the bottom of their own threaded hole.
