PROPELLER

Here are a few tips for the installation of the propeller.
CAUTION: A propeller can be very sharp so be careful when you handle
it. It's a good idea to wear a pair of protective gloves when handling any
propeller.
1. Before placing the propeller on the shaft, take a look at the keyway on the
shaft and in the propeller. Make sure the key slides freely in the shaft keyway
as well as the propeller keyway. You may need to file the flat sides of the key
and the keyway to remove burrs. Rotate the shaft until the keyway is "up".
Place the key in the shaft keyway. Rotate the propeller so the keyway in the
propeller is aligned with the keyway on the shaft. (See illustration.) Once
aligned, push the propeller onto the shaft. You'll hear a solid "thunk" as the
propeller is seated. Note: The propeller will only slip on in one direction.
2. Put the castle nut on the shaft and wrench tighten.
