Page 4 Propeller Owner's Manual WARNING 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 43: Description Of Propeller And Systems
All of these propellers use aluminum blades and are intended for use with reciprocating engines. (2) The Hartzell Hydro-Selective propeller changes blade pitch through hydraulic actuation that is controlled manually. Manual control allows the pilot to select a blade angle by moving a cockpit control to result in a desired RPM setting.
Page 44 Propeller Owner's Manual (5) A manually controlled propeller assembly consists of a central steel hub (Figure 2-1) that mounts on the engine splined shaft. Blades are attached to the hub and are retained by two piece blade clamps and thrust bearing assemblies.
Page 45: General Description (Forces)
Propeller Owner's Manual (6) A governor control propeller is constructed and configured as described for the manually controlled propeller assembly with the following additions. Many engines on which a governed propeller is mounted are not designed with an accessory drive pad for attachment of a governor. A device identified as a T-drive unit is installed between the engine and the fuel pump to drive the subject accessory and provide an additional accessory drive pad...
Page 46: General Description (Control)
Propeller Owner's Manual C. General Description (Control) (1) The summation of the propeller forces is toward higher pitch (low RPM) and is opposed by a variable force toward lower pitch (high RPM). The variable force is oil controlled from a governor or is engine oil that is pilot controlled through a valve.

Page 59: Governors
Propeller Owner's Manual 4. Governors 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 60: Governor Types
Propeller Owner's Manual B. Governor Types The governors commonly used in Hartzell constant speed propeller systems are supplied either by Hartzell Propeller Inc. several other manufacturers. These governor types function in a similar manner. C. Identification of Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Page 61: Pilot Operating Instructions
Propeller Owner's Manual 5. Pilot Operating Instructions A. Non-governing (Hydroselective Propeller) (1) Push the propeller pitch control forward to increase RPM and pull the propeller pitch control back to decrease RPM. The blade pitch will follow the propeller pitch control command precisely and the propeller RPM will reflect the movement immediately.
Page 62 Propeller Owner's Manual (9) Landing Push the pitch control forward before landing to enable an emergency takeoff again if necessary. (10) Taxi Taxi with the pitch control fully forward for lowest blade angle. (11) Reverse Pitch Operation (HC-D2[MV,V]20-[3,-6L]) (a) Before attempting to reverse the pitch the RPM must be reduced to 1200 RPM or less for engines with oil pump pressure of less than 50 psi.
Page 63: Governing (Constant Speed Operation)
Propeller Owner's Manual CAUTION: REDUCE RPM FIRST WHEN MOVING BLADE ANGLE FROM REVERSE PITCH TO LOW PITCH TO AVOID OVERSPEED WHEN MOVING THROUGH ZERO (MINIMUM AERODYNAMIC LOAD) BLADE ANGLE. (c) Before coming out of reverse pitch reduce RPM with throttle to approximately 1200 RPM. NOTE: The higher the RPM, the faster the pitch moves from reverse to low pitch.
Page 64 Propeller Owner's Manual (6) Cruise Select RPM for best fuel consumption in accordance with Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). (7) Landing Push the governor RPM control forward for maximum RPM before landing to enable an emergency takeoff again if necessary. (8) Taxi Taxi with the governor RPM control fully forward for lowest blade angle when throttle is reduced.

Page 75 Propeller Owner’s Manual (b) Remove the piston from the cylinder by sliding it away from the cylinder and off the piston guide rods. NOTE 1: When the hydraulic valve is attached to the piston, the valve spool must be positioned at either extreme of travel to allow air to enter or escape from the cylinder and allow movement of the piston by hand.
Page 76 Propeller Owner’s Manual (h) Verify the installation of both cylinder-to-piston O-rings in the piston. Refer to Figure 2-2 and Table 3-1 for the location and part numbers, if required. (i) Position the piston and jack plate unit over the cylinder, and clock the piston to the cylinder by aligning a number stamped on the piston with the number stamped on the cylinder.

CAUTION 1: USE THE MARKINGS MADE DURING BENCH ASSEMBLY TO MATCH THE...
Page 78 Propeller Owner’s Manual (aa) Check the available piston travel by measuring between the jack plate and the hub shoulder. Travel should be 1.062 inch to 1.094 inch (26.97 to 27.79 mm). If the distance is not sufficient, remove the propeller and install additional shims or remove shims between the rear cone and engine, to obtain the desired travel capability.
Page 79 Propeller Owner’s Manual (3) Adjusting Propeller Control For Proper Ground Or Static CAUTION: A CALIBRATED TACHOMETER MUST BE USED TO MAKE SURE OF THE ACCURACY OF THE RPM CHECK. (a) Determine Static RPM Start the engine and allow it to warm up. Check the propeller action with the propeller pitch control (RPM control).
Page 80 Propeller Owner’s Manual (4) Reverse Pitch Hardware Adjustment CAUTION: REVERSING CONTROL MUST PULL THE SHORT END OF THE VALVE LEVER TIGHT AGAINST THE BRACKET. REFER TO FIGURE 3-3. (a) Adjust the lever Loosen the clamp that holds the push-pull reverse control housing.
Page 81 Propeller Owner’s Manual Tighten the clamp. With the cockpit reverse control line forward (in the case of the reversible propeller) and just off the locked position, attach this control line at the propeller to the short end of the lever on the valve. Make sure that the clamping bolt is tight against the bracket on the cylinder.
Page 82 Propeller Owner’s Manual (6) If there is interference, continue with the following steps: (a) Identify a dimension required to space the clamp assembly and valve assembly apart and reestablish positive clearance. (b) Increase the thickness of the reverse stop with the dimension required to reestablish positive clearance between the clamp assembly and the valve assembly.
Page 83 Propeller Owner’s Manual CAUTION: NEVER USE FORCE TO START THE HUB NUT. (l) Thread the hub nut onto the engine shaft. Make sure the threads have engaged properly. (m) Torque the hub nut on the engine shaft. Refer to Torque Values Table 3-2. (n) Rotate the blades by hand to reverse pitch position.
Page 84 Propeller Owner’s Manual (8) Model HC-D2MV20-3 only: (a) Rotate the blades by hand toward low pitch until the jack plate contacts the spacer ring. Confirm that there is a minimum of 0.025 inch (0.63 mm) clearance between each clamp and the valve. (b) If there is insufficient clearance between the clamps and the valve, measure the gap to determine how much clearance is needed.
Page 85 Propeller Owner’s Manual WARNING: DO NOT RESET BLADES IN CLAMPS TO COMPENSATE FOR REVERSE BLADE ANGLE CHANGE. Reassemble the propeller in, using the correct dash number spacer ring (see Table 3-3) to provide 0.025 inch (0.63 mm) minimum clearance between each clamp and the valve. Reinstall the propeller in accordance with this chapter.
