Manual. Please give it your attention, especially the section dealing with Inspections and Checks. Thank you for choosing a Hartzell propeller. Properly maintained it will give you many years of reliable service. Jim Brown Chairman, Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Page 4 Propeller Owner's Manual WARNING (Rev. 2) People who fly should recognize that various types of risks are involved; and they should take all precautions to minimize them, since they cannot be eliminated entirely. The propeller is a vital component of the aircraft. A mechanical failure of the propeller could cause a forced landing or create vibrations sufficiently severe to damage the aircraft, possibly causing it to become uncontrollable.
Page 5 Failure could be as severe as loss of propeller or propeller blades and cause loss of propeller control and/or loss of aircraft control. Hartzell Propeller Inc. follows FAA regulations for propeller certification on certificated aircraft. Experimental aircraft may operate with unapproved engines or propellers or...

Page 32: Engine Modifications
Propeller Owner’s Manual B. Engine Modifications (1) Engine modifications can affect the propeller. The two primary categories of engine modifications are those that affect structure and those that affect power. An example of a structural engine modification is the alteration of the crankshaft or damper of a piston engine. Any change to the weight, stiffness, or tuning of rotating components could result in a potentially dangerous resonant condition that is not detectable by the pilot.

Propeller Owner’s Manual 1. Description of Propellers and Systems A. Feathering and Reversing Propellers HC-E(4,5)( )-3( ) Series Refer to Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, Figure 2-4, Figure 2-5, Figure 2-6, and Figure 2-6.1. The propellers described in this section are constant speed, feathering, and reversing.
Page 67 Propeller Owner’s Manual If governor supplied oil is lost during operation, the propeller will increase pitch and feather. Feathering occurs because the summation of internal propeller forces causes the oil to drain out of the propeller until the feather stop position is reached. Normal in-flight feathering is accomplished when the pilot retards the propeller condition lever past the feather detent.
Page 68 Propeller Owner’s Manual When the propeller reaches the desired reverse position, movement of the beta ring and beta feedback block assembly initiated by the propeller piston, causes the beta valve to shut off the flow of oil to the propeller. Any additional unwanted movement of the propeller toward reverse, or any movement of the manually positioned beta valve control toward high pitch position will cause the beta valve to drain...

Propeller Owner’s Manual C. Feathering and Reversing Propellers HC-E5B-5A, HC-E(4,5)N-5KL, and HC-E4P-5 Models Refer to Figure 2-8, Figure 2-9, Figure 2-10, and Figure 2-11. The propeller described in this section is constant speed, feathering and reversing. It utilizes a single oil supply from a governing device to hydraulically actuate a change in blade angle.
Page 78 Propeller Owner’s Manual If governor supplied oil is lost during operation, the propeller will increase pitch and feather. Feathering occurs because the summation of internal propeller forces causes the oil to drain out of the propeller until the feather stop position is reached.
Page 79 Propeller Owner’s Manual It is undesirable to feather the propeller when the engine is stopped after landing the aircraft. This propeller type is normally installed on a fixed shaft engine that causes the propeller to rotate during an engine start process. If the propeller is in feather position, an overload on the electric engine starter will occur.

Page 85: Governors
Propeller Owner’s Manual 3. Governors (Rev. 1) A. Theory of Operation (1) A governor is an engine RPM sensing device and high pressure oil pump. In a constant speed propeller system, the governor responds to a change in engine RPM by directing oil under pressure to the propeller hydraulic cylinder or by releasing oil from the hydraulic cylinder.
Page 86: Feathering Governor
Propeller Owner’s Manual (5) Feathering governors allow oil to be pushed from the propeller to the engine drain to increase propeller pitch to feather. (a) Some governors will move the propeller to feather by electrically or mechanically actuating a valve that opens to drain the oil supply between the propeller and governor to increase propeller pitch and allow the propeller to feather.
Page 87: Synchronizer/Synchrophaser Governor
Figure 2-16 illustrates a governor as a component of a synchronizing or synchrophasing system. (a) Hartzell Propeller Inc. synchronizing or synchrophasing systems use one engine (the master engine) as an RPM and phase reference and adjust the RPM of the remaining engine(s) [slave engine(s)] to match it.
Page 88: Governor Model Designation
Propeller Owner’s Manual B. Governor Model Designation (1) Hartzell Propeller Inc. uses a model number designation system to identify specific governor models. (2) The governor model number is stamped on the base and/or body of the governor assembly. (3) Refer to Table 2-3 for a description of the characters used in the governor model number.
