8.17 PROPELLER SERVICE
PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION
PA-28R-201, ARROW
The spinner and backing plate should be cleaned and inspected for
cracks frequently. Before each flight the propeller should be inspected for
nicks, scratches, and corrosion. If found, they should be repaired as soon as
possible by a rated mechanic, since a nick or scratch causes an area of
increased stress which can lead to serious cracks or the loss of a propeller tip.
The back face of the blades should be painted when necessary with flat black
paint to retard glare. To prevent corrosion, the surface should be cleaned
and waxed periodically.
