d) Move the blades into the feathered position, making sure that the rounded trailing edges of the blades are aft as shown in fig. 2. MAX PROP EASY INTRODUCTION Thank you for having chosen a MAX PROP® EASY automatic feathering propeller for your vessel. This instruction booklet is designed to answer to all your questions on assembly and use of the propeller. Please read it carefully and verify the correct working of the propeller before installing it on your boat. Fig. 2 e) Before launching the boat, it is absolutely necessary to operate as follows: INSTALLATION Please, do as follows with reference to fig. 1. The propeller is supplied already assembled for right or left rotation, according to the information received with the order and with the pitch required, so that it can directly fit on the shaft. MAX PROP® EASY parts are NOT interchangeable. Please, make sure , if you receive more than one propeller, that you do not interchange parts. • Hold the propeller shaft. • Check that the blades of the propeller rotate freely from the forward to the reverse position just by a light effort • In the feathered position the blades must be perfectly lined up and set like fig. 2 a) Fit the already assembled propeller to the shaft, as if it was a fixed propeller, and make sure that the key has proper dimension: a good key has almost no clearance side to side but a very small clearance on its upper surface. This clearance is to avoid the propeller to be pushed out of center by a key which is too tall. • Check that the propeller body is full of fluid marine grease • Make sure that the propeller is protected from galvanic corrosion by using the usual zinc anodes on the propeller and the shaft. b) Tighten the nut and secure it in place using the two allen head screws. PITCH ADJUSTMENT c) Fill the prop with marine grease using the grease fitting (supplied) inserted into the grease holes marked “grease”. The MAX PROP® EASY propeller works properly only if the central body is completely filled with the correct grease. Verify that the grease is oozing from the rotating joints between the central part and the hub, so that all of the moving surfaces are perfectly oiled. The grease used must be a type of grease approved by MAX PROP® so it will remain fluid after years of use and will not get too stiff in cold water. The pitch on a MAX PROP® EASY changes according to the diameter of the propeller and the blades rotation angle α. fig. 3 shows the pitches in millimeters corresponding to the degree of blades angle for a given propeller diameter. α Blades inclination angle (degrees)

f) In every single propeller: Diameter and pitch must be calculated as if MAX PROP® EASY were a normal fixed propeller. MAX PROP® EASY then offers the great advantage of pitch adjustability in order to better optimize the performance of the propeller. If the engine does not reach the desired RPM, reduce the blade angle α ; on the contrary, if the engine exceeds the desired RPM, increase the blade angle α. With a 2 degrees variation of the blade angle, the speed of the vessel varies 14% at the same RPM or the RPM varies 14% at the same speed of the vessel − pole (screw) 20 has the same...

between gears • On the aft edge of the hub there is a security ring “Seeger” that must be slipped off) The propeller must always be completely filled with a recommended grease. Make sure that you always keep the zinc anodes in good condition. They must be replaced at least once a year, even if they still look ok. The propeller must be protected by a lot of zinc, so also use a zinc on the shaft when possible. When replacing it make sure that you clean the contact point between the zinc and the propeller shaft in order to have a good electrical contact. • Release the zinc-bearing ring • Once...
