Propeller and Spinner Installation

1. Slide the spinner backplate on the propeller adapter.

2. Install the propeller on the propeller adapter, ensuring it aligns with the

spinner backplate as shown, with the blades between the slots in the

backplate, and the embossed propeller size numbers facing away from the

backplate.

3. Install the propeller nut on the propeller adapter, ensuring the propeller

and backplate stay in correct alignment, tightening with a small hex driver

inserted through the hole in the propeller nut.

4. Insert the screw through the front of the spinner cone.

5. Install the washer over the screw, inside the spinner cone.

6. Install the spinner cone to the spinner backplate, ensuring the tabs in the

spinner cone fully insert into the slots in the backplate, the washer remains

on the screw, and the screw threads into the front of the propeller nut.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the spinner cone without the washer (C) between

the cone and the propeller nut.
