MAINTENANCE
A shear pin is used to protect the
propeller and drive mechanism from
damage when the propeller strikes an
obstruction.
If the propeller is damaged by
striking a rock, or other obstacle,
replace the propeller.
• When replacing, remove the
emergency stop switch clip to
prevent an accidental startup of
the engine.
• The propeller is thin and sharp.
To protect your hands, wear the
heavy gloves during replacement.
Replacement
1. Remove the cotter pin, the
propeller cap and the propeller.
2. Remove the broken shear pin and
replace it with a new one.
3. Install the propeller or install a new
propeller if the propeller is
damaged, then install the propeller
cap finger tight.
4. Install a new cotter pin, and spread
the ends of it as shown.
