1. Statement of Purpose
A. General
(1) This manual has been reviewed and accepted by the FAA. Additionally, this
manual contains data that has been approved in a manner acceptable to
the FAA Administrator.
(2) This manual provides inspection, repair, and overhaul procedures for all
aluminum propeller blades manufactured by Hartzell Propeller Inc. This manual
assumes that the blade has been removed from the propeller assembly unless
specified otherwise.
(3) This manual is not arranged sequentially in the steps of the overhaul process.
(a) The suggested sequence of required overhaul procedures is provided in a
"traveler", but differing blade conditions as well as individual repair station
requirements may dictate a need for variation in the sequence of blade
overhaul.
(b) Although the sequence of events is not mandatory and may be rearranged
to fit individual repair statiion requirements, it is essential that all steps of the
overhaul process be completed during overhaul as applicable.
(4) This manual is to be used by propeller repair stations with personnel who are
trained and experienced with Hartzell Propeller Inc. products.
(a) This manual does not provide complete information for an inexperienced
technician to attempt aluminum blade overhaul without supervision.
(5) This manual is intended to be the primary source for aluminum blade repair and
overhaul information.
(a) The propeller models addressed in this manual may be Type Certificated
by the FAA, or may be experimental. Experimental parts must not be
installed on a type certified propeller. Always use the current illustrated
parts list for the assembly of any propeller. Always refer to the aircraft Type
Certificate (TC) or Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) to determine
installation eligibility of any propeller. If installation eligibility is not
identifiable, an additional installation approval, such as FAA form 337 field
approval or Supplemental Type Certificate may be required. If in doubt,
contact Hartzell Propeller Inc. Product Support.
(6) This manual is not a "stand alone" document. The applicable propeller manual
must be consulted for information relating to the entire propeller assembly.
(7) This manual makes reference to other Hartzell Propeller Inc. manuals
that provide important details for procedures such as anodizing, penetrant
inspection, etc.
(8) Where possible, this manual is written in the format specified by
ATA iSpec 2200.
2. Reference Publications
C. Vendor Publications
(1) None
3. Personnel Requirements
A. Tooling
(1) Propeller repair stations approved to overhaul Hartzell Propeller Inc. aluminum
blades are expected to possess precision fixtures, tools, and blade tables for
blade inspection and rework.
(2) Except as specifically required in this manual, locally fabricated tooling is
permitted for most repair and inspection operations.
(3) In addition, Hartzell Propeller Inc. strongly recommends that a propeller repair
facility approved to overhaul Hartzell Propeller Inc. aluminum blades own,
maintain, and use the following equipment as their use may be required by
certain airworthiness directives:
(a) A Hartzell Propeller Inc. blade cold rolling machine, part number
DT-1724-( )
(b) An optical comparator with blade shank overlays as described in this
manual
(c) A profilometer
(d) A “Y” shank pitch change knob shot peen cabinet, part number DST-5855-( )
(4) Some facilities may choose to subcontract some specialized processes such as
cadmium plating, anodizing, cold rolling, or shot peening. Cold rolling and shot
peening must only be performed by a facility approved by Hartzell Propeller
Inc. For information about approved facilities, contact the Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Product Support department or visit the Hartzell Propeller Inc. website at
www.hartzellprop.com.
B. Facilities
(1) Blade grinding, plating, and painting have the potential for health and safety
hazards beyond that of other areas of a typical workshop. It is expected
that such areas be in compliance with industry standards and governmental
regulations concerning occupational safety and health, as well as
environmental protection.
(2) Workshop areas must be segregated to prevent contamination. Separate
areas must be designated for painting, plating, inspection, and blade grinding/
polishing.
(3) A draft free area must be provided for static balancing operations.
A. Overhaul
(1) Overhaul is the periodic disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repairing as
necessary, reassembly, and testing in accordance with approved standards and
technical data approved by Hartzell propeller Inc.
(2) The overhaul interval is based on hours of service, i.e., flight time, or on
calendar time.
B. Damage
(1) General procedures for overspeed, foreign object strike (including bent blades),
and fire/heat damage are found in the Special Inspections chapter of Hartzell
Propeller Inc. Standard Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).
(2) The blade specification tables in this manual provide the minimum width and
thickness limits for aluminum blades.
(a) These are absolute minimums.
(b) Anytime widths and thicknesses are measured, if the width or thickness
limits are below published minimums, retire the blade.
(c) There is no difference between in-service limits and overhaul limits.
C. Repair
(1) Repair of small nicks and scratches can generally be performed by mechanics
in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B without consulting this
manual.
(2) Whenever significant amounts of metal are removed, which may bring into
question if the blade is below minimum width or thickness, then the propeller
needs to be inspected by an approved propeller repair station to determine if it
is below published minimums.
D. Life Limits
(1) Aluminum blades may be life limited. In some cases an entire propeller is life
limited, but often only the blades of a propeller assembly are life limited.
(2) Airworthiness limitations, which include blade life limits, for specific propeller
blades are addressed in the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Owner's
manual for the applicable propeller assembly.
(3) For life limits of Hartzell Propeller Inc. products, refer to the applicable Owner's
manual. Refer to the "Required Publications" section of this chapter.
(4) It is a regulatory requirement that a record of the total time in service be
maintained for all life limited parts.
E. Time in Service
(1) Component life is expressed in terms of total hours of service (Time Since New,
TSN) and in terms of hours of service since overhaul (Time Since Overhaul,
TSO).

A. General
(1) Aluminum propeller blades are manufactured from one solid piece of aluminum
that has been forged and heat treated prior to manufacture.
(2) Aluminum blades are used in both steel and aluminum hub propellers in a
variety of designs which require the use of various models of blade shanks.
Therefore, blades are distinguished by shank design, propeller diameter, tip
configuration, and other characteristics of the blade (refer to Table 1-1).

3 Troubleshooting
a Problem:
Pulsing or surging of shot is observed in the shot delivery tube.
Remedy:
1 If the metering valve is below 75% open, it can cause the
flow to begin pulsing.
2 If the shot is still pulsing at 75% open, increase the amount
that the metering valve is open.
3 Make sure that the shot is flowing through the shot delivery
tube smoothly, without a visible pulsing flow.
b Problem:
Vacuum pressure produced in the gun body is incorrect.
Remedy:
1 Pull the shot delivery hose off the gun shot inlet.
2 Attach the vacuum gage and tube to the gun shot inlet.
3 Turn on the shot application valve.
4 Loosen the locknut TE603.
5 Adjust the air jet position TE604 until at least 12 in. Hg is
achieved.
c Problem:
Intensity is not in the target range after the first intensity
determination curve.

personnel at an appropriately licensed repair facility in accordance with the
procedures listed below.
(a) Inspection
1 Accumulated thread damage exceeding one full thread in a pitch
change bracket mounting hole must be repaired or the blade must be
retired from service.
2 If the pitch change bracket mounting hole has a diameter greater
than 0.221 inch (5.61 mm), install a thin wall insert B-6986-258M.
3 If the pitch change bracket mounting hole has a diameter greater
than 0.287 inch (7.28 mm), install a staked insert B-6143-( ).
4 A blade with a pitch change bracket mounting hole diameter greater

2 Make sure that the drill is concentric with the hole.
3 Lock the setup in place.
10 Machine off the counterbored end of the thin wall insert to remove the
counterbore and the locking teeth.
11 Using a 1/4-28 UNF-3A bolt, check the fit of the thin wall insert before
installation.
12 Put the modified thin wall insert on the installation tool TE389-1,
modified end first.
13 Using primer CM127, spray the thin wall insert and the newly tapped
hole.
14 Let the primer dry for 3 to 5 minutes.
15 Using a clean cotton swab, apply retaining compound CM74 to the
OD of the thin wall insert.
16 Install a thin wall insert.
a The thin wall insert must be flush to 0.020 inch (0.50 mm) below
the surface of the part.
17 Let the repaired part dry to fixture strength (approximately
15 minutes).
18 Using a 1/4-28 UNF-3A bolt, check the fit of the installed thin wall
insert.
19 If the bolt does not fit, remove and replace the thin wall insert in
accordance with the instructions in this section.

(6) Inspect and Repair the Critical Area of the Balance Hole. Refer to Figure 2-24.
(a) Using a strong source of light, visually examine the bottom 1.00 inch of the
balance hole for corrosion, tool marks, or anodize.
1 Corrosion or anodize are not permitted.
2 Tool marks, wear, or scuff marks that are below the shot peen pebble
grain surface are not permitted.
a The balance hole may have a slightly different depth than
the dimension stamped on the blade butt because the
manufacturing tolerance for the depth of balance holes is plus
or minus 0.063 inch (1.60 mm). For example, a blade stamped
6.375 inches (161.92 mm) may actually have a depth between
6.312 and 6.438 inches (160.32 and 163.52 mm).
b Depending on the actual depth of the balance hole, the amount
of material that may be removed for repair can vary significantly.
c Closely monitor the depth of the balance hole throughout the
repair process.

(11) Blade Bushing Installation for blades with P-shank or Z-shank with or without
N-shank Modifications
(a) Gasket sealant CM46 must be used during A-1309 blade bushing
installations on each P-shank and Z-shank blade to prevent corrosion in
the blade bore. Refer to Figure 2-45.
(b) Let the paint in the blade bore and in the balance hole dry for a minimum
of 15 minutes before applying gasket sealant CM46.
(c) Apply a moderate layer of gasket sealant CM46 around the circumference
of the blade bore between 3.50 inches (88.9 mm) and 3.75 inches
(95.2 mm) from the blade butt.
(d) Make sure that there is complete coverage on the blade bore
circumference.
NOTE: Applying a moderate amount of gasket sealant CM46 will
minimize the amount of gasket sealant extrusion into the
blade bore after installation of the blade bushing.
CAUTION: INSTALL THE BLADE BUSHING WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF
APPLYING THE GASKET SEALANT CM46.
(e) Press the new blade bushing into the blade bore, flush to no more than
0.020 inch (0.50 mm) below the blade butt face.
Wipe to remove
excess sealant.

J. Counterweight Installation
(1) Installation of a New Counterweight on a New Blade
(a) General
1 Counterweight knobs are found on Y-shank, D-shank, and E-shank
aluminum propeller blades.
2 New blades are not manufactured with a counterweight dowel
pin hole. During the assembly process, a counterweight is bolted
onto the counterweight knob (refer to Table 2-10 for counterweight
mounting hardware) and a hole is drilled through a hole in the
counterweight and into the blade. (Refer to Figure 2-58). This creates
a matched counterweight and blade combination.
(b) Installation Procedures
NOTE: This procedure may be performed with the blade assembled or
disassembled from the propeller assembly.

C. Blade Straightening
(1) A bent blade may be straightened if it meets the following criteria:
(a) There is no evidence of damage caused by impact on the blade butt or
retention radii.
(b) There is no evidence of damage caused by impact to the blade bore.
(c) The pitch change knob is not bent (if applicable).
(d) The blade or blade tip bend is within the permitted bend limits specified
in the Aluminum Blade Bend Limits Table 3-6 and the Twist Allowances
Table 3-8.
(2) If the blade tip is bent beyond the permitted limits, a blade may not be
converted to another model or to a shorter length version of the existing model.
NOTE: In the past, blades that were bent beyond allowable limits were
sometimes reduced in diameter when the shortened blade model
was completely inboard of the bend. This practice is no longer
permitted.
(3) If a blade does not meet the criteria specified in 2.C.(1)(a) through 2.C.(1)(d),
retire the blade from service.

(c) If it is not possible to mark and locate the protractor 1 inch (25.4 mm) on
each side of the bend, measure as closely as possible to the apex of the
bend to achieve as accurate a measurement of the angle as possible.
(d) Measure the thickness of the blade at the centerline of the bend.
(e) Using the measurement for the blade thickness established in section
2.C.(4)(d), find the maximum angle of bend in Table 3-6.
1 If the bend angle established in section 2.C.(4)(b) is less than or
equal to the maximum angle of bend, the blade may be straightened.
2 If the bend angle established in section 2.C.(4)(b) is greater than the
maximum angle of bend, retire the blade from service.

c Slide the clamp blocks out to the ends of the slide bar.
d Beginning at the inboard station, position the blade so that the
leading and trailing edges are in the V-notches of the clamp
blocks in accordance with the markings on the blade pitch
fixture TE438. Refer to Figure 3-5.
e Align the groove on the bottom surface of each clamp block
with the applicable blade station on the face side of the blade.
Refer to Figure 3-5.
f Tighten the thumbscrews on the clamp blocks of fixture TE438
to attach the fixture to the blade.
g Align the hand-held protractor TE97 with the grooves on the
bottom of the two clamp blocks of the fixture TE438.
h Holding the hand-held protractor TE97 firmly with the grooves
on the bottom of the two clamp blocks of the fixture TE438, read
the measurement of the angle. Refer to Figure 3-5.
i This measurement must be within the tolerance specified in the
applicable Blade Specification Table in Appendix C of this manual.
j Proceed to step 2.J.(5)(g).
(f) Beginning at the inboard stations, put the protractor on the blade and
read each angular measurement. Each measurement must be within the
tolerance specified in the applicable Blade Specification Table.
(g) If a blade station is out of tolerance twist the blade to bring it back into
tolerance. Refer to Blade Twisting in this section.
(h) Repeat the blade angle measurement procedure at each station specified
in the applicable blade specification table in Appendix C of this manual.

(j) For most blades, stations inboard from the tip have a greater chord width
than outboard stations.
(k) When reducing diameter, it is desirable to minimize the reduction of
the chord width. Some deviation from the specified tip radii may be
appropriate.
1 Refer to section D.(2)(f) in this chapter for tip repair criteria.
(2) Diameter Reduction for Blades to be Returned to Service with a Modified Model
Designation
(a) In the past, blades that were bent beyond permitted limits were sometimes
reduced in diameter when the shortened blade model was completely
inboard of the bend. This practice is no longer permitted.
(b) When blades in a set have had a reduction in length and are being
installed on an application other than the original, the blade model
designation is to be changed using the following method:
1 Impression stamp a line through the original model designation dash
number.
2 Impression stamp the modified model designation next to the original
model designation.
3 The blade may only be modified to a blade model defined in the
Blade Tip Specifications appendix of this manual.
4 Optionally ink stamp the modified model designation on the camber
side of the blade airfoil.
5 Future diameter reductions to blade sets with modified model
designations are to be handled following the procedures of paragraph
2.K.(1) of this chapter.
(c) Blade modifications that result in significant diameter reductions (from one
dash number to another in blade design) must consider factors such as:
1 Pitch change knob location
2 Pitch range capability
3 Interchangeability of modified blades with factory new blades
4 Tip thickness and contour
5 Airfoil width
6 Identification requirements
7 Blade modifications that cause blade-to-blade variation of these
factors within a blade set are not permitted.
(d) Use the Blade Specification Table associated with the new model
designation of the shortened blade.
(e) While reducing the length of a blade is permitted, care must be taken
to avoid creating a blade configuration that is different than that which
Hartzell Propeller Inc. manufactures. Refer to the examples in paragraphs
K.2.(e)2 through K.2.(e)3.b.
1 Detailed descriptions of differences of all blade model designations
are not given in this manual. Information about specific model
interchangeability can be obtained on an individual basis from the
Hartzell Propeller Inc. Product Support Department.
2 Changing an 8468-8R blade to an 8468-10R blade by reducing the
diameter is permitted.
a Refer to the tip shape diagrams in Appendix C - Blade
Specifications of this manual.
b Both blades have the same pitch change knob angle and it
would be possible to balance the resultant blade with those
manufactured by Hartzell Propeller Inc. under the same
designation.
3 Changing an 8468-8R blade to an 8468D-14 blade is not permitted
except by STC.
a Although both blades have the same pitch change knob angle,
they have different twist distributions.
b Twisting the original blade to the new configuration will cause
its pitch change knob angle to deviate from the specification
and it will not match blades manufactured by Hartzell
Propeller Inc.
(f) A Q-tip blade can be cut off to make a non-Q-tip blade
1 Remove material tangent to the radius of the tip and far enough
inboard so that the entire Q-tip is removed.
(g) Y-shank blades must conform to knob angle limitations. Refer to
paragraph 2.D.(12) of the Blade Shank Overhaul chapter in this manual.
(h) Since complete tip data is not available in the field, physically compare
blades that have significant diameter reduction to factory new blades of
the same design so that widths, thickness, tip shape, and airfoil shape in
the tip region can be closely matched with factory blades.
(i) Modification of a counterweighted blade to a non-counterweighted blade
by removal of the counterweight knob is not permitted in the field.
NOTE 1: The shot peen coverage has a tolerance of +0.125 inch (+3.17 mm) within the
specified shot peened area. The shot peen within these dimensions cannot be
scattered or speckled, but must have complete coverage. Due to manufacturing
process changes, incomplete coverage or fading of the shot peen is permitted in
specific zones. Refer to Figure 3-9. Stray shot marks are not permitted outside
the shot peen area.
NOTE 2: The Blade Model designation may include a "B" or "K" suffix that indicates a
de-ice or an anti-icing boot.
NOTE 3: All model M10476 blades are manufactured with a shot peened surface;
however, the "S" shot peen designator is not always included in the model
number of all blades. All M10476 blades must be maintained as shot peened
blades, and the "S" designator, if not present, must be added at overhaul.
NOTE 4: Blades may have been previously shot peened from the 4 inch station to the
26 inch station (101.6 mm station to the 660.4 mm station). Pre-existing
coverage between the 4 inch station and the 7 inch station is acceptable, and
does not require additional shot peening.

(5) Local Repair in the Shot Peened Area Not Associated With Overhaul
NOTE: A local repair removes a specific damage condition between
overhauls. Repair of damage at overhaul is blended more smoothly
with the blade shape and is not considered a local repair.
(a) All repairs must be within the tolerances specified in the applicable Blade
Specification Table.
(b) If a blade is repaired beyond the permitted limits, retire the blade from
service.
(c) Remove all damage before inspection and re-shot peening.
(d) Shot peening of the face and camber sides of the blade is more critical
than the leading and trailing edge. Repairability limits are stricter for the
face and camber surfaces.
(e) The depth of damage refers to measurements taken after repair of the
effected area.
(f) Face and camber repair area is defined as between 10% and 80% of the
chord width from the blade leading edge. If the damage is not deeper than
the base of the shot peen pebble grain, locally repair these areas without
re-shot peening.
(g) If there is damage deeper than the base of the shot peen pebble grain,
re-shot peen only the surface of the blade containing the repair area. For
example, if the camber side of the blade contains a repair, then only the
entire camber side of the blade must be completely re-shot peened.
(h) Lead edge repair area is defined as 10% of the chord width back from
the lead edge. Trail edge repair area is defined as 20% of the chord width
forward from the trail edge. If the extent of the repair is less than
0.250 inch (6.35 mm) from the lead edge or trail edge of the blade, these
areas may be repaired without re-shot peening.

M. Q Tip Blades
(1) A Q tip propeller blade is formed by bending the tip section of the blade 90
degrees toward the face side.
(2) A Q tip blade may only be formed by Hartzell Propeller Inc. on a new blade
only.
(3) Bending a tip section in the field is not permitted.
(4) Field repair of a slightly deformed tip, up to 20 degrees, is permitted.
(5) Data from the Blade Specification Tables is not usable in the area of the bent
tip. Refer to Figure 3-10 for tip thickness requirements.
(6) Blade width in the bend area must be sufficient to maintain the original width as
reasonably as possible.
(7) Q-Tip blade repair
(a) When a Q-tip blade is manufactured, the blend (radius) of the leading and
trailing edges of the tip are identical. As the leading edge of a Q-tip blade
wears, the tip blend (radius) becomes distorted, while the trailing edge tip
blend remains intact.
1 When repairing the leading edge of a Q-tip blade, shape the blend
between the blade tip and the leading edge, as necessary, to match
the shape of the trailing edge blend, using the shape of the trailing
edge as a guide. A slight chord reduction may result.
2 If a repair is made to the width of the blade in the bend area,
smoothly blend the repair into the most outboard, controlled blade
station.
3 Repair of tip damage is permitted, if the distance from the face of the
blade to the tip of the blade in the 90 degree area is at least 0.75 inch
(19.05 mm).
4 If the length of the tip is reduced on one blade, the other blades in
the set must also be reduced to maintain correct propeller assembly
balance.
N. Lightning Strikes
(1) After a propeller lightning strike, an inspection of the each blade is required
before further flight.
(2) Slight arcing damage to the blade surface from a lightning strike that has a
maximum diameter of 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) may be repaired.
(a) Smoothly blend the damaged area and polish using an abrasive pad that
has 400-grit or finer.
(b) Perform a penetrant inspection.
(3) Damage to the blade edge may be repaired in the same way as a small nick or
scratch. This can generally be performed by mechanics in accordance with FAA
Advisory Circular 43.13-1B.
(4) If there are larger areas of arcing damage, or if it appears that intense heat may
have softened the area adjacent to the damage, retire the blade from service or
return it to Hartzell Propeller Inc. Propeller for evaluation.
(5) Perform a Brinell hardness test within 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) of each damaged
area. Refer to the Special Inspections chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Standard Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).
(6) For propeller assembly inspection requirements after a lightning strike,
refer to the Special Inspections chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc. Standard
Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).

B. General
(1) Hard alloy aluminum (7076-T61) was developed to improve the water and sand
erosion characteristics of propeller blades.
(a) The impact resistance of hard alloy aluminum to stone nicks and dents is
also superior to the standard aluminum alloy.
(b) Hard alloy aluminum can be susceptible to intergranular corrosion,
particularly if corrosion is not thoroughly removed before blade surface
protection, or if corrosive material is trapped between the unprotected bare
metal and paint or a de-ice or anti-icing boot.
C. Check
(b) Within the next 25 hours of operation and each succeeding 25 hours of
operation, eddy current inspect the entire area. Refer to the Eddy Current
Inspection chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc. Standard Practices Manual
202A (61-01-02).
(c) Remove and overhaul the propeller within the next 100 hours of operation
following the first indication of bare metal or corrosion.
(2) Any propeller that has a blade with a loose, bubbled, or detached de-ice or anti-
icing boot must be removed and overhauled before the next flight, or all de-ice
or anti-icing boots must be removed and the blades inspected and reworked in
accordance with steps 3.D.(1)(a) through 3.D.(1)(c) in this chapter.
(a) For instructions about removal and installation of a de-ice and/or an
anti-icing boot, refer to Hartzell Propeller Inc. Propeller Ice Protection

NOTE: The effected blades were originally manufactured with "X" or "V"
shanks.
(2) Additional modifications to the blade designs are included (see Table 4-2).
(3) All effected blade models that are replaced must be replaced using the same
design. Do not intermix blade designs in an assembly.
NOTE: This information was obtained from Hartzell Propeller Inc. Service Bulletin 178.
A. Effectivity
(1) All HC-B5MP-3A/M10282A(B)+6 propellers installed on Nord 262 (Frakes
conversion) aircraft with Pratt and Whitney PT6A-45 series engines are affected.
(2) M10282A(B)+6( ) blades used on the Nord 262 aircraft must follow the inspection
criteria of this section.
B. Discussion
(1) The purpose of this inspection is to identify fatigue cracks that may occur at the
smaller internal bearing bore on effected blades.
C. Check
(1) In accordance with the Blade Shank Overhaul chapter of this manual, inspect
the radius end of the blade bearing bore.
(2) Perform rework procedures if necessary.
NOTE: This includes all evidence of scratches, tool marks, and corrosion, as
well as etching and dye penetrant inspection of the critical areas of
the blade bore.
(3) All blades showing evidence of cracks or other unairworthy conditions must be
replaced prior to further flight.
(4) Report all incidents of cracks or linear crack indications to the Product Support
Department of Hartzell Propeller Inc.
D. Compliance
(1) All effected blades must be repetitively inspected after the initial inspection. The
repetitive inspection is based on time in service of the blade (see Table 4-3).
NOTE: The repetitive requirements of this inspection are terminated when all
blades installed in a propeller assembly have been replaced by "N"
modification blades.
NOTE: This information was obtained from Hartzell Propeller Inc. Service Bulletin
146B.
A. Effectivity
(1) This inspection is required for propeller model HC-B3TN-5( )( )/T10282H(B)
installed on Fairchild SA226T, SA226TC, SA226AT, Metro aircraft with Garrett
Engine model TPE-331-3U-303G, TPE-331-3UW-303G, and those aircraft
above modified with model TPE-331-10UA-501G or -511G engines.
B. Discussion
(1) This inspection is required to detect cracks that may begin on the blade
trailing edge and progress in a chordwise direction toward the leading edge.
The cracks occur in an area between two and 24 inches from the tip and are
generally observed from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches in length.
(2) Blade tip stall, with the associated high noise levels which occur in the reverse
blade angle range, may contribute to this cracking condition.
NOTE: This information was obtained from Hartzell Propeller Inc. Service Bulletin 125.
A. Effectivity
(1) Applies to all propeller models HC-B3TN-5( )L/LT10282( )( )+4 installed on the
Gulfstream American (formerly Rockwell International) Aero Commander 690( )
aircraft.
B. Discussion
(1) An audible blade stall may occur if high reverse blade angles are used during
high speed landings. This condition may cause high stress concentrations at
blade stations approximately five to 15 inches from the blade tip. The high
stress concentration can cause a fatigue crack, particularly if the blade has been
damaged in this area, such as from a stone nick.
C. Check

(1) All T10176 and T10176H non-category 2 blades installed in HC-B3TN-5C
propeller hubs installed on turboprop aircraft.
B. Discussion
(1) This inspection is required to discover possible fatigue cracks originating at the
inside of the pilot tube bore.
C. Check
(1) For propellers that have accumulated 700 hours or more, complete the following
procedures within 50 hours:
(a) Using penetrant inspection (refer to the Blade Bore Inspection and
Overhaul section of the Blade Shank Overhaul chapter of this manual),
visually inspect the inside of the blade pilot tube bore for cracks.
(b) If a crack is found, remove the blade from service.
(c) Using an appropriate light source, an inspection mirror, and a sharp
non-graphite pencil CM162, or equivalent as a probe, inspect the bore in
the area of minimum wall thickness for scratches or tool marks.
(d) Inspect the surface in the radius area.
(e) If any scratches or tool marks penetrate the blade bore surface, rework the
blade in accordance with the Blade Shank Overhaul chapter of this manual.
(f) Using TE131, inspect the blade for minimum wall thickness at the
8.25 inch (209.5 mm) station.
1 Put the blade on a table with the camber side up.
2 Fit the template to the blade with the 1 inch (25.4 mm) leg contacting
the butt of the blade along axis "A-A," as shown in Figure 4-2. The
0.75 inch (19.0 mm) leg must touch the blade flange at "C."
3 With the template pivoted at axis "A-A," move the 0.50 inch
(12.7 mm) leg back and forth until it touches the surface of the blade at
"B." Repeat this for several angular positions of the axis "A-A" to find
the thinnest part of the blade.
4 Position the template at the thinnest part of the blade.
5 If the template does not touch the blade at "B", retire the blade from
service.
D. Compliance
(1) After the initial inspection, repeat the inspection of the T10176 blade shanks at
1500 hour intervals.
CAUTION 1: DO NOT MIX A NEW "N" BLADE WITH AN OLD, HARD ALLOY
BLADE, SUCH AS T10173H, IN A PROPELLER ASSEMBLY.

(5) Without adjusting the weight, put each of the remaining blades from the set on
the balance stand so that the heaviest blade in the set may be determined.
(6) Put the heaviest blade in the set on the balance stand with the leading edge up.
(a) Adjust the weight until the blade is balanced in the horizontal position.
(7) Individually put the lighter blades in the set on the balance stand.
(a) Do not adjust the weight.
(b) In order to get each of these blades in the horizontal position, it is
necessary to put lead wool in the blade balance hole.
(1) To find the amount of lead wool needed to balance the blade, put
lead wool on the shank area, a distance equal to the depth of the
blade balance hole (this dimension is stamped on the butt of the
blade), until the blade is horizontally balanced.
(8) For "Y", "D", and "E" shank blades that use a closed-end bearing, remove the
bearing before putting lead in the blade bore.
APS2070
APS2070A
NOTE 3: Vertical balance is complete when all blades in a set are within the
allowable range (refer to paragraph 1.A.(2)(c)1 and 2. Horizontal balance
is completed after the application of paint and de-icer boots (refer to
paragraph 1.B. of this chapter).
(1) Using a balance stand incorporating the proper shank adapter, determine which
blade is lightest in the horizontal position.
(5) If the total weight used to bring the blades in vertical balance exceeds
0.0625 lbs. (1.0 ounce), the vertical balance of the blades should be corrected
by concentrating the grinding action on the heavy side of the heavier blade(s).

1. Introduction (Rev. 1)
A. General
A. Fig/Item Number
(1) Figure Number refers to the illustration where items appear. Item Numbers refer
to the specific part callout in the applicable illustration.
(a) Item Numbers that are listed but not shown in the illustration are identified
by a dash to the left of the item number. (example: "-800")
(b) Alpha variants will be used to add additional items. There are two reasons
for the use of alpha variants:
1 A part may have an alternate, or may be superseded, replaced, or
obsoleted by another part.
a For example, the self-locking nut (A-2043) that is item 20 was
superseded by the self-locking nut (A-2043-1) that is item 20A.
2 An Illustrated Parts List may contain multiple configurations.
Effectivity codes are used to distinguish different part numbers
within the same list.
a For example, one propeller configuration may use a mounting
bolt (B-3339-1) that is item 30, yet another propeller
configuration uses a mounting bolt (B-3347) that is item 30A.
Effectivity codes are very important in the determination of parts
in a given configuration.
B. Part Number
(1) The Part Number is the Hartzell Propeller Inc. identification number for the part.
(2) Use the Hartzell Propeller Inc. part number when ordering the part from Hartzell
Propeller Inc. or a Hartzell-approved distributor.
C. Description
(1) This column provides the Hartzell Propeller Inc. description of the part.
(2) Bullets and indentations are used to indicate parts that are components of a
sub-assembly.
(a) For example, a Fork Assembly that is part of a HC-C2YR-1 propeller
assembly will have one bullet ( • ) before the description. This indicates
that the Fork Assembly is part of the propeller assembly.
1 A Fork Bumper that is part of the Fork Assembly will appear
directly below the Fork Assembly with two bullets ( • • ) before the
description. This indicates that the Fork Bumper is part of the Fork
Assembly - that is part of the Propeller Assembly.
a Example: HC-C2YR-1
• Fork Assembly
• • Fork Bumper
(3) If the description in this column includes a "PCP:" prefix, the part is classified as
a Propeller Critical Part.
(4) If applicable, information regarding part alternatives, supersedures,
replacements, or obsolescence will appear in the Description column.
(a) Refer to the section, "Description of Terms" in this chapter for definitions
and requirements for part "alternates", "supersedures", etc.
(b) When part alternatives, supersedures, replacements, etc. are listed, the
service document number related to the change may be included for
reference.
F. Overhaul (O/H)
(1) Designates the parts to be replaced at overhaul. A "Y" identifies the parts that
must be replaced at overhaul.
A. Alternate
(1) Alternate parts are identified by the term "ALTERNATE" in the Description
column. Alternate items are considered airworthy for continued flight and
existing stock of parts may be used for maintenance and/or repair. The new or
alternate part numbers may be used interchangeably when ordering/stocking
new parts.
B. Supersedure
(1) Part changes are identified by the terms "SUPERSEDES ITEM _____" or
"SUPERSEDED BY ITEM _____" in the Description column. Superseded items
are considered airworthy for continued flight and existing stock of superseded
parts may be used for maintenance and/or repair. Once the superseding part
has been incorporated/installed into an assembly, the original superseded part
may no longer be used. Superseded parts may no longer be available, and the
new part number must be used when ordering/stocking new parts.
C. Replacement
(1) Part changes identified by the terms "REPLACES ITEM _____" or "REPLACED
BY ITEM _____" in the Description column are considered airworthy for
continued flight, but must be replaced with a part with the new part number at
overhaul. Existing stock of replaced parts may not used for maintenance and/or
repair of effected assemblies. Replaced parts may no longer be available, and
the new part number must be used when ordering/stocking new parts.
D Obsolete
(1) Obsolete parts are identified by "OBS" in the Units Per Assembly (UPA)
column. Obsolete items are considered unairworthy for continued flight.
A. Important Information
(1) Many O-rings, fasteners, and other vendor supplied hardware listed in Hartzell
Propeller Inc. manuals have previously been specified with AN, MS, NAS or
vendor part number. To provide internal controls and procurement flexibility,
Hartzell part numbers have been assigned to all O-rings, fasteners, and
hardware. Part shipments from Hartzell Propeller Inc. will specify only the
Hartzell part numbers.
(2) Some O-rings, fasteners, and hardware manufactured in accordance with
established industry specifications (certain AN, MS, NAS items) are acceptable
for use in Hartzell Propeller Inc. products without additional standards imposed
by Hartzell.
(a) For a listing of part number interchangeability, refer to the Vendor
Cross Reference chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc. Standard Practices
Manual 202A (61-01-02).
(b) Where permitted, both the Hartzell part number item and AN, MS, NAS,
and other specified vendor number items can be used interchangeably.
(c) The Hartzell part number must be used when ordering these parts from
Hartzell Propeller Inc.

1. Optical Comparator
A. General Information
(1) Repair procedures performed on the blade shank retention area can alter the
shape of this highly stressed area. Improper repairs can reduce fatigue strength
and could lead to blade failure.
(2) An optical comparator TE28 and optical comparator overlay TE18-( ) are
devices used to verify the accuracy of repair work performed on the blade
shank retention area.
(3) The optical comparator TE28 projects a magnified profile image of the
blade shank onto a screen. The image is compared to the optical comparator
overlay TE18-( ) that has the required blade shank shape imprinted on its
surface.
(a) The optical comparator overlay TE18-( ) is used to inspect the shape of
the retention radius, not the shank dimension.
(b) Measure the shank dimensions using a micrometer in accordance with the
applicable chapter of this manual.
(4) Following any repair or compression rolling in the blade shank retention area,
use a Hartzell-approved optical comparator TE28 with the applicable optical
comparator overlay TE18-( ) to verify that the shape of the blade shank
retention area is within the permitted limits.
(a) If the blade shank retention area is below the repair line on the comparator
overlay TE18-( ), the blade is unairworthy and must be retired from service
in accordance with Hartzell Propeller Inc. Standard Practices Manual 202A
(61-01-02).
NOTE 1: For all shanks except E-shanks, the outboard limit for inspection of the
blade shank is at the transition between the blade shank diameter and the
retention radius.
NOTE 2: For E-shanks only, the outboard limit for inspection of the blade shank is
at the transition between the blade shank diameter and the 8 degree taper
outboard of the retention radius.
NOTE 3: The transition point where the optical comparator inspection area meets
the straight surface of the blade, must maintain a smooth blend with no
steps or irregularities on all blade shanks.
(1) Alignment of the Overlay on the Optical Comparator Screen
(a) Set the magnification on the optical comparator TE28 to match the optical
comparator overlay TE18-( ).
(b) Put the optical comparator overlay TE18-( ) on the screen of the optical
comparator TE28 in approximately the final position.
(c) Clip the optical comparator overlay TE18-( ) in place so that the overlay
can be shifted for exact alignment.
(d) Adjust the stage on the optical comparator TE28 so that an image of the
stage surface appears halfway up on the screen.
(e) Adjust the optical comparator overlay TE18-( ) on the screen so that the
horizontal surface of the overlay aligns with the stage surface.
(2) Alignment of the Blade Shank Image on the Overlay
(a) Put the blade vertically on the stage of the optical comparator TE28.

A. General
(1) Each aluminum blade shank design has overhaul requirements. Each
requirement may be unique to a certain type of shank or may be applicable to
all shanks. The requirements are in the form of a "traveler" for quick reference.

Notes:
1. General
A. Important Information
(1) The blade tip specification figures have been moved from Appendix D and
incorporated in this Appendix C of this manual.
(2) Blade stations are used during the repair or overhaul process of a blade to
define a blade span location for dimensional measurement.
(3) Reference blade radius is measured from the center of the propeller hub to a
predetermined reference location on the blade for blade angle measurement.
(a) An adhesive stripe (Blade Angle Reference Tape CM160) is usually
located at the reference blade radius location. Refer to the applicable
overhaul manual for blade angle reference tape application instructions.
(3) Suffix letters may have different meanings from one blade design to another.
(a) For example, the 8468A-2 blade is similar to a 8468-2 except for different
knob angle locations, which is unrelated to the blade specification table
data. On the other hand, a 10173A blade is similar to a 10173 blade
except for thickness. This results in two different blade specification tables
for the 10173 and 10173A blades.
(4) Parentheses in a blade model designation indicate a letter that may or may not
be present for use with a given specification table.
(5) Blade specification data are occasionally revised or superseded.
(a) Old data may differ from new or revised data. In some instances, the old
data may have permitted a blade to return to service, whereas the new
data would require replacement of the blade. In these cases (unless
otherwise required by service documentation), a blade overhauled before
publication of the later specifications remains airworthy.
(b) During any subsequent overhaul or other inspection by a propeller
repair station, the blade must be inspected in strict accordance with the
specifications in effect at that time.
(6) Blade specification table data does not apply to "Q" tip propeller blades in the
area of the bent tip. Refer to the Blade Airfoil Overhaul chapter of this manual.
B. Rule of 0.030 Inch Thickness for Blades in Four, Five, and Six Blade Propellers
(1) General
(a) Propellers with four or more blades are susceptible to a type of vibration
called a “reactionless mode” that is excited by operating in crosswinds
while on the ground.
1 This type of vibration cannot be felt by the flight crew or passengers
even though the resulting stresses can be damaging to the blades
and other propeller components.
2 Because it is not practical to avoid operating in crosswinds, most
propellers with four or more blades have restrictions prohibiting
operating in the RPM range where the reactionless mode is likely
to occur.
(b) Blade erosion, wear and impact damage is more likely to occur in the tip
region where the velocity is highest and the ground clearance is least.
1 As the blade wears and is repaired in the tip region, the loss of blade
tip weight causes the RPM at which the reactionless mode occurs
to rise. In an extreme case, the RPM of the reactionless mode could
rise sufficiently to move outside of the restricted operating range.
(c) To avoid the possibility of vibration occurring outside of the restricted RPM
range, Hartzell Propeller Inc. has devised a repair scheme to keep the
reactionless mode within its original RPM boundaries.
1 As the blade tip is repaired, the “0.030 inch rule” requires that a
certain amount of thickness be removed from the inboard sections of
the blade to maintain a balance between the weight and stiffness of
the blade.

1. General Information
A. The DT-1724-( ) rolling machine has been provided in five basic design
configurations, beginning with the DT-1724 (no dash number). Improvements have
been incorporated into the design of the unit throughout the years. Each subsequent
design change raised the dash number by one (that is, DT-1724-1, DT-1724-2, etc.).
2. Principles of Operation
B. DT-1724-3( )
(1) The function of the DT-1724-3( ) rolling machine is to provide a controlled
process of compression rolling the radius of the retention shoulder of Hartzell
Propeller Inc. "C" (non-counterweighted only), "D", "E", "M", "MV", "P", "R",
"T", "W", "Y", and "Z" shank single shoulder aluminum propeller blades. The
equipment rotates the blade, using a geared motor-transmission combination
with a face plate and collet to retain the blade. The initial rotation of this
assembly is controlled by a microswitch activated by the carriage motion. The
DT-1724-3( ) rolling machine can be upgraded to a DT-1724-5 at the Hartzell
Propeller Inc. factory.
C. DT-1724-5
(1) The function of the DT-1724-5 rolling machine is to provide a controlled process
of compression rolling the radius of the retention shoulder of Hartzell
Propeller Inc. "C", "D", "E", "M", "MV", "P", "R", "T", "W", "Y", and "Z" shank
single shoulder aluminum propeller blades. The equipment rotates the blade,
using a geared motor-transmission combination with a face plate to retain the
blade. The initial rotation of this assembly is controlled by a Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) and a library of blade shank specific recipes.
(2) The roller portion of the unit consists of a roller head that rotates to follow the
blade retention radius. This unit is mounted on a carriage that moves parallel to
the blade centerline to extend the rolled area beyond the radius.
(3) The roller assembly uses a small reversible stepper motor to drive a 90 degree
gearbox to which the roller head is attached. As the stepper motor rotates, it
rotates the roller head through the required radius. The movement of the roller
angle is controlled by the PLC.
(4) The carriage movement is controlled automatically by an electric motor. The
rolling operation begins with the carriage in the lowest position, nearest to the
blade butt. Once the roller head has proceeded through the radius portion of
the rolling process, the carriage will begin to move toward the tip of the blade,
parallel to the blade centerline. The roller pressure is gradually decreased to
zero. The reduction of the pressure is accomplished by releasing the hydraulic
pressure of the air-to-oil booster, through the PLC controlled air pressure
regulator.
(5) The carriage traverse motor controls the vertical movement of the carriage. The
motor drives a linear actuator that moves the carriage up or down. Start and
stop action is controlled by the PLC and determined by the applicable blade
recipe.
(6) The roller portion of the machine can be driven to or away from the blade to
set diameter spacing. This automatic action eliminates the need for diameter
spacers as found in the previous versions of the DT-1724-( ) Machine. Once the
machine automatically positions this axis, the PLC activates an electromagnetic
brake to hold position during the roll cycle. Diameter spacing positions are
controlled by the PLC and determined by the applicable blade recipe.

NOTE: Reverse direction is the direction in which the roller head moves
at the beginning of the rolling cycle.
(7) Carriage Return Switch
(a) The carriage return switch is positioned on the roller support arm and is
activated when the roller body makes contact, closing the switch.
(b) When the switch is closed, power is provided to the carriage traverse
motor, starting the carriage return.
(8) Roller Motor Aft Direction Limit Switch (under head cover)
(a) As the roller completes its arc, the roller motor aft direction switch limits
and stops the travel of the roller head by cutting power to the roller head
drive motor.
NOTE: Unless otherwise stated at the time of order, all machines are
shipped with 110 volt 60 cycle systems. Conversion units are
available for foreign use with step down transformers, which are
designated by a letter “F” following the machine part number (e.g.,
DT-1724-3F - foreign). Units with 110 volt 60 cycle systems are
designated by a letter “D” following the machine part number (e.g.,
DT-1724-3D - domestic).
(4) Remove the electrical supply cord, if a step down transformer is used and a
permanent supply connection is provided.
(5) The main power switch is fused to act as a protective device. Push down on the
master switch to reset it, if required.
(6) Connect the air line to the F.R.L. unit.
1 If the lubricator is not using oil, or is using more than the required
amount of oil, make the necessary adjustments in accordance with
the Machine Setup and Testing chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Blade Shank Rolling Machine Manual 128 (61-00-28).
2 Drain the water separator as necessary to keep the rolling machine
free of moisture.
(b) Before each use, check the level of hydraulic oil in the booster.
1 To fill the reservoir of the booster:
a Remove the reservoir cap.
b Fill the reservoir to the applicable level with hydraulic oil, such
as Mobil DTE 24, Shell TELLUS 23, Chevron EP22, Pro-Cool
AW 46, or automatic transmission fluid.
2 A low level of hydraulic oil in the booster with no evidence of external
leakage may be an indication of internal oil leakage in the booster.
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc. Blade
Shank Rolling Machine Maintenance Manual 128 (61-00-28).
(3) Roller Wheel Inspection
(a) Before each use, inspect the roller wheel for the following conditions:
