3) Propeller
Inspect propeller after every trip and check for looseness. A sign of a loose prop is the
prop rocking left to right. If the prop is loose, tighten to 60 ft/lbs torque.
4) Throttle
Throttle should always have about 1/8 turn slack before the engine RPM's raise. This is
important to maintain a low idle. Throttle slide should be lubricated with spray or grease
to prevent stiffness (every ten hours). If this procedure is neglected, this will result in
premature cable failure.
