Figure G-12. Removing Volvo DPS-A Propellers
Removing the DPS-A Propeller
Special tool P/N 3862797 is needed to remove
the front propeller nut on DPS-A drives.
1. Turn ignition switch to RUN (key on, engine off).
2. Tilt drive up.
3. Turn ignition switch off and remove key.
4. Use propeller tool (P/N 3862808) or 30 mm socket
and ratchet to remove rear propeller nut 4.
Use a block of soft wood 5 between the cavitation
plate and the front propeller, to stop the propeller
shafts from turning, so the nut can be loosened.
NOTICE! Blades of aluminum propellers may
bend when using the wood to stop the shafts from
turning. Proceed slowly and check for bending
blades. If propellers appear to bend, contact your
dealer.
5. Remove rear propeller 3.
6. Use propeller tool (P/N 3862797) and ratchet to
remove front propeller nut 2.
7. Remove front propeller 1.
NOTICE! Propeller may be stuck to shaft. Tap the
forward edge of the propeller blades LIGHLY with
a NON-METALLIC hammer. If the propeller still
can not be removed, contact your dealer.
Regular removal of the propellers and re-greasing
the splines of the shafts 6 and hubs helps reduce
the chances of the propeller sticking.
8. Clean the propeller shafts. Inspect for fishing line
or other debris; remove if present.
9. Inspect shaft seals; correct if leaking (see dealer).
If reinstalling the propellers, clean the splines in
the hubs (inside).
