43. PROP-LOCK PROPELLER
43.1. DESCRIPTION
The easy to replace prop-lock propeller can be removed from the DPV without the use of tools in any situation such
as in the event the propeller is wound by foreign objects like fishing lines or hooks or if the diver wants to replace
the propeller with one shaped differently or with a different number of blades, both underwater and on land, still
maintaining the safety friction built within.
43.2. HOW TO REMOVE THE PROP LOCK PROPELLER
Turn off the DPV and make sure it is off!
Do not grasp the propeller by a blade (30) but unscrew the knob (31) (COUNTER-CLOCKWISE) until the propeller
detaches. (see fig. 4)
DO NOT UNSCREW OR SCREW IN THE SAFETY CLUTCH TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
SCREW (32) WHICH WAS FACTORY CALIBRATED. MODIFY TORQUE COULD CAUSE
POTENTIAL HAZARDS SINCE IT COMPROMISES THE SAFETY SYSTEM.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES MUST ALWAYS BE WORN
Be extremely carefully since using hands or other parts of the body between the propeller blades is
potentially hazardous, even if a safety clutch is installed between the propeller and engine. When replacing
or removing the prop lock propeller, always make sure the ADV is off. The propeller should not rotate
when the trigger is pressed!
