43.5. PROP LOCK PROPELLER TROUBLESHOOTING
Rotating the white knob requires excessive strain
The knob was damaged and should be replaced*
Even if the shaft pin is in the correct position in the
propeller housing, the friction jerks and the DPV does
not move forward.
The traction pin was damaged (bent) and should be
replaced. The propeller hub was damaged and should
be replaced*
The knob turns freely and does not stop the propeller.
Too much force was used to tighten the knob and it
was damaged. It should be replaced.*
The screw on the knob turns freely
The knob was damaged and should be replaced*
*operations to be conducted at a authorized SUEX service centre.
Note:
The prop lock propeller is larger than a standard propeller (the white knob protrudes
further).
This means that the use must pay closer attention when standing the DPV on the flow
conveyor in the vertical position. Any collisions with the propeller (larger) could
damage both the prop lock propeller and DPV.
