Remove  block  of  wood.  Make  sure  engine  is  in
NEUTRAL; give propeller a spin. It must turn freely.
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.
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 120 in.
