ler shaft splines.
Slide washer onto propeller shaft.
Remove block of wood. Make sure engine is in

Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact is par-
tially absorbed by the rubber bushing in the hub to
help prevent damage to the engine. A strong impact
can damage the hub and propeller blades. Damage
to blades can cause unusual and excessive vibra-
tion. Damage to the hub can cause excessive en-
gine RPM with little forward movement.
Wedge a block of wood between the propeller
blade and the anti-ventilation plate.
IMPORTANT: Avoid or limit operation using a dam-
aged propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a file to
smooth slight damage to blade edges. See your
DEALER for repair of serious damage.
Install propeller nut and tighten to a torque of 36 to
43 ft. lbs. (50 to 60
N·m).
Continue to tighten propeller nut until nut slots and
cotter pin hole are aligned. Install new cotter pin
and bend ends to secure.
