CAUTION
If the propeller does not feather after the first attempt, do not
carry out further attempts to feather the propeller to avoid
further loss of altitude.
NOTE
In order to feather the propeller the propeller RPM must be
above 1800 RPM. Below 1800 RPM the centrifugal latches
of the start locks will not disengage and the propeller will keep
wind-milling.
Increase the airspeed swiftly to minimize altitude loss. In case
of shaking rotation, continue to accelerate the airplane until
1800 RPM is reached.
