DESCRIPTION

2.1 INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION • • An ammeter to indicate correct system load.

The propeller de-ice system consists of the following
components (See Figure 2.1 ):
• Electrothermal de-ice boots bonded to each pro-
peller blade.
• Slip ring assembly mounted on propeller for distribu-
tion of power to each de-ice boot.
• Brush block assembly, mounted on engine with
mounting bracket. to transfer current to the rotating
slip ring assembly.
• De-ice timer to cycle electric current to the de-ice
boots in the proper sequence.
• • An external shunt or ammeter with internal shunt.
• • A manually operated ON-OFF circuit breaker type
switch or separate circuit breaker and switch.
2.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The propeller de-ice system is an electrothermal type
system which applies heat to the surfaces of the propeller
blade where ice would normally adhere. De-icing is
accomplished by raising the de-ice boot surface tempera-
ture sufficiently to reduce the bond between ice and boot
allowing centrifugal force and scavenging airflow to sling
ice from the propeller. To conserve power and effectively

DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
remove ice. power is provided to the de-ice boots in timed
intervals rather than contmuously. The time interval
between heating cycles is necessary to permit ice to form
and build up slightly prior to removal. The frequency and
duration of power applied to the de-ice boot is controlled
by the de-ice timer. Specific requirements for de-ice timer
time cycles depend upon the use of single or dual element
de-tee boots. single or twin engine aircraft. specific FAR
requirements. and airframe manufacturer's philosophy.
To maintain rotational balance of the propeller. the entire
de-ice boot (single element boot) on each blade of a
propeller or corresponding sections of the de-ice boots
(dual element boot) on each blade are heated.
2.3 DE-ICE SYSTEMS
McCauley electrothermal de-ice systems differ. basically.
in three areas:
a. NUMBER OF ENGINES
Single or twin engine aircraft.
b. DE-ICE BOOT HEATING ELEMENT (See Figure 2.2)
Single or dual element.
c. SLIP RING INSTALLATION (See Figure 2.3)
• Part of starter ring gear (new. modified. ring gear
incorporating slip ring assembly). (Utilized only on
Lycoming engine applications).
• Slip ring assembly mounted and supplied as part of
propeller assembly. (Pratt and Whitney engine
installation.)
• A pulley/slip ring assembly mounted between the pro-
peller/engine flange and the back of the propeller hub.
(Typically used where pulley is air conditioner and/or
b. SYSTEM WITH DUAL ELEMENT DE-ICE BOOTS
alternator drive.)
• Separate slip ring assembly (attached to back of pro-
peller hub or mounted between propeller/engine flange
and propeller hub).
2.4 TYPES OF DE-ICE SYSTEMS
The following methods of de-ice operations are used for
effective removal of ice and to maintain rotational balance
ot the propeller.
a. SYSTEM WITH SINGLE ELEMENT DE-ICE BOOTS
(See Figure 2.4 for twin engine aircraft: see Figure 2.5
for single engine aircraft.)
2 Marcn 1984
In the single element type system. each de-ice boot has
only one electrothermal heating element.
On twin engine applications the de-ice timer provtdes
power to all de-ice boots of one propeller when the
switch is turned on. The timer then switches power to
the other propeller for the same length of time. This
cycle repeats itself as long as the switch remains on.
However, there are twin engine. four blade. slow turn
engine applications equipped with McCauley propellers
and de-ice systems that differ from the above system.
In these systems a separate de-ice timer is provided lor
each engine/propeller. When the switch is turned on.
the timers switch power to only two blades of each
four-bladed propeller (blades located in a, 80° relation-
ship). Then. the timers switch power to the adjacent
two blades of each propeller for the same length of
time. which repeats this cycle until the switch is turned
off. This type of cycle is accomplished by utilizing a
three-ring slip ring which has two boots of each pro-
peller wired to the inboard ring and two boots wired to
the outboard ring. Thus. when the timer switches

essentially distributing power to two adjacent blades
a time (this type of system is shown in Figure 2.8).
0 n single engine aircraft the timer provides power to all
de-ice boots of the propeller when the switch is ener-
gized. The timer then switches the power off for the
same period of time. This cycle will repeat as long as
the switch remains on.
There are basically two types of single element de-ice
boots. One type of boot is composed of a resistance
wire type heating element whereas the other is an
etched foil heating element.
{See Figure 2.6 for twin engine aircraft: see Figure 2.7
tor single engine aircraft.)
On a dual element type system. each de-ice boot has
two separate electrothermal heating elements. an
inboard and an outboard section. When the switch is
turned on, the timer provides power through the brush
block and slip ring assemblies to all outboard heating
elements on one propeller. Then. the timer switches
power to all inboard heating elements on the same
propeller. This outboard-inboard sequence is impor-
tant since the loosened ice tends to move outward.
For single engine aircraft this cycle is repeated. F
twin engine aircraft. power is switched to the othe.

propeller where the same sequence is followed: first all
outboard heating elements then switches to all inboard
heating elements. As long as the switch remains on. the
cycle will repeat itself.
2.5 DESCRIPTION OF DE-ICE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
2.5.1 DE-ICE BOOTS
The de-ice boots consist of either a resistance wire type or
an etched metal foil type heating element. These heating
elements are protected by plies of rubber and fabric with a
breeze surface made of a special neoprene compound for
erosion resistance. One side of the boot has a smooth
matte finish while the other side has a fabric impressioned
finish to ensure a good bond between the boot and pro-
peller blade. Single element de-ice boots have two leads;
one power input, one ground.
Dual element de-ice boots have three leads; one power
input for each of the two separate heating elements. one
common ground. To connect the de-ice boot to the slip
ring assembly, boots are constructed with either an inte-
gral strap or with wire connectors at the base of the boot
for detachable lead type wire harness.
2.5.2 WIRING HARNESSES
De-ice boot wire harnesses are used with systems having
detachable lead type de-ice boots in place of boots having
integral lead straps. These wiring harnesses are used to
carry eiectrical current from the slip ring assembly to the
de-ice boot leads. These are the only wiring harnesses
manufactured by McCauley. All other harnesses, such as
those used between power source and timer and between
timer and brush block assembly, are supplied by the air-
craft manufacturer (See Figure 2.1).
2.5.3 SLIP RING ASSEMBLIES
To carry electrical current to the de-ice boots. a slip ring
assembly is used and rotates with the propeller assembly.
Depending upon the specific aircraft, there are basically
four different types of slip ring installations (See ~igure 2.3):
a. The slip ring is provided as a part of a starter ring gear
assembly which has been modified to accept a bolt-on
type slip ring assembly and replaces the original starter
ring gear (utilized only on Lycoming engine applica-
tions).
b. A pulley/slip ring assembly where the pulley is ma-
chined to accept the slip rings which become an inte-
gral part of the pulley. These pulley/slip ring assemblies
are mounted between the propeller/engine flange and
the back ofthe propeller (typically used where pulley is

air conditioner and/or alternator drive).
c. Slip ring assembly is mounted and supplied as part of
the propeller assembly (Pratt and Whitney engrne
installation).
d. Separate slip ring assembly which is attached to the
back of the propeller hub or mounts between the pro-
peller/engine flange and the propeller.
2.5.4 BRUSH BLOCK AND MOUNTING BRACKET
ASSEMBLIES
To carry electrical current to the rotating de-ice boots. a
brush block assembly is mounted to the engine wtth a
mounting bracket. This stationary brush block assembly
contains two independently wired brushes which contact
each ring of the rotating slip ring assembly.
2.5.5 DE-ICE TIMER
The electrical de-ice timer directs current to each of the
de-ice boot heating elements in a prescribed sequence for
a specific amount of time. This sequence is repeated as
long as the switch remains on. Refer to applicable data
sheet for illustration.
2.5.6 AMMETER
Although shown on schematics and discussed through-
out this manual, the ammeter is not supplied or manufac-
tured by McCauley.
The ammeter (when used in the system) indicates current
flow to the de-ice boots. In the event of low battery vol-
tage, which is possible during ground checks. the amme-
ter readings may be below the normal current range as
described in Table 3.1. Problems in the system due to a
faulty ammeter can be found by following the trouble-
shooting guide section of this manual. Also refer to
instructions provided by aircraft manufacturer.
2.5.7 SWITCH OR CIRCUIT BREAKER SWITCH
Although shown on schematics and discussed through-
out this manual, the switch. circuit breaker or circuit brea-
ker/switch is not supplied by McCauley.
If the system current rises above the circuit breaker or
circuit breaker switch limit, it will open and cut power to
the de-ice system. If tripped. the circuit breaker must be
reset manually. The circuit breaker/switch can be reset by
turning it OFF then ON again. Problems in the system due
to a faulty switch. circuit breaker, or circuit breaker/switch
can be found by following the troubleshooting guide sec-
tion of this manual. Also refer to instructions provided by
the aircraft manufacturer.

INSTALLATION
3.1 DE-ICE BOOT INSTALLATION
3.1.1 GENERAL
These instructions apply to all McCauley controllable
propellers and descnbe the procedures to be followed tor
installation of electrothermal propeller de-ice boots on
McCauley blades.
r - - - - - - - CAUTION ------------,
The condition of the propeller blades and the
de-ice boot installation must comply with appli-
cable FAA regulations. Inspect propeller blades
prior to de-ice boot installation tor any corrosion,
cracks, dents, or nicks. If any defects are found,
the blade must be repaired by an authorized pro-
peller repair station prior to installation of the
de-ice boot. Check resistance of each heating
element before installation of de-ice boots. See
Table 3.2 for boot resistance values.
All de-ice boots on a single propeller must be located the
same distance from the center line of the propeller for
rotational balance. The ("X") dimension for locating the
de-ice boot is given in Table 3.1 and shown in Figure 3.4.
On integral strap type de-ice boots a separate rubber
restrainer strap is used at the inboard end of the boot to
prevent loosening of the de-ice boot bond when centrif-
ugal force acts on the lead strap. Procedure for installing
the restrainer strap is given in Figure 3.1. The ("Y")
dimens1on for locating the restrainer strap is given in
Table 3.1. The ("X") dimension for location of integral
strap type boots is given in Table 3.1 and shown in
Figure3.1.
3.1.2 MATERIALS REQUIRED
Cement 1300L or EC 1403 (Minnesota Mining and Manu-
facturing Co .. St. Paul, Minnesota).
Sunbrite-Sterling Industrial Finishes (Sterling lacquer
Manufacturing Co., St. Louis. Missouri) 78-U-1003 Brush-
able black enamel.
Enamel catalyst U-1001-C.
Cleaning solvent- MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) or ace-
tone.
Tackifying Solvent- Toluol or MEK (see following note).
Cleaning cloth - any clean, lint-free cloth.
1" Paint brushes
12
',/' Metal hand stitcher
2" Rubber or wooden hand roller
Masking tape
r--------------- NOTE --------------~
MEEK may be used instead of Toluol to tackify
cement. but it provides approximately 10 seconds
ttme for de-ice boot applications: whereas Toluol
provides approxtmately 40 seconds of workmg
time.
3.1.3 BLADE PREPARATION
a. See Table 3.1 ("X") dimension for proper locat1on of
de-ice boot.
b. Outline area to be masked using a red pencil. Area
may be marked off us1ng a template or by hand fittmg a
de-ice boot to the blade. De-ice boots which use Inte-
gral type lead strap must be marked for lead strap
alignment. De-ice boots with detachable leads must
be aligned with the terminal bracket installed (see
Figure 3.3).
Align de-ice boot with lead strap marks or with.
nal bracket installed and center the outboard end of
the de-ice boot on the lead edge of the blade. 0 nee the
de-ice boot is positioned. mark an area ';2" outs1de of
the boot perimeter. Using masking tape. mask around
the outline.
c. On blades painted with lacquer, remove all paint within
the masked off area. In addition. when rubber res-
trainer strap is used. remove paint and clean around
entire blade 2" from propeller hub outboard. On
blades painted with polyurethane. lightly sand within
the masked off area using 400 grit sandpaper. Clean
entire masked area thoroughly with MEK or acetone.
For final cleaning. quickly wipe off solvent w1th a
clean. dry, lint-free cloth to avoid leaving a film.
d. Apply a second layer of masking tape to cover an
additional 'Ia" inside of previously masked area.
r - - - - - - - CAUTION-------------.,
Cleanliness of metal and rubber parts cannot be
overemphasized. Only very clean surfaces will
assure maximum adhesion.

surfaces of the restrainer strap (if used). Change the
cloth frequently to avoid contamination of the clean
area.
b. THOROUGHLY MIX THE CEMENT
, . . . . - - - - - - - - - NOTE - - - - - - - - ,
To prevent curling of the de-ice boot edges.
apply masking tape to the edges on the smooth
side before applying cement to the fabric impres-
sioned side. Remove tape from the de-ice boot
before starting installation.
c. For best results. apply cement and make de-ice boot
installation at room temperature (65° - 75° F.) Apply
one. even, brush coat of cement to the clean. masked
surface of the propeller blade and the fabric impressi-
oned side of the de-ice boot. Also. when installing an
integral lead strap type de-ice boot. apply cement to
proper length of de-ice boot lead strap so that strap
will be cemented to blade. Allow cement to air dry for a
minimum of one hour at 40° F. or above, when the
relative humidity is less than 75%. If the humidity is
75% to 90%, additional drying time will be required to
cure cement. Do not apply cement if relative humidity
is higher than 90%. After cement is dry (not tacky),
apply a second. even. brush coat of cement to the
de-ice boot.
d. Apply an even brush coat of cement on the clean.
masked off surface of the propeller blade immediately
after the second coat of cement has been applied to
the de-ice boot. Timing is important because the
cement on both surfaces must reach the tacky stage at
the same time.
3.1.5 INSTALLING DE·ICE BOOT
a. When cement coats are tacky dry on both blade sur-
face and de-ice boot surface, locate de-ice boot leads
with terminal bracket installed or lead strap with
alignment marks made in 3.1.3, Step b. Tack the de-ice
boot center line to the leading edge of the blade. start-
ing at the inboard end working toward ·the tip. If
cement dries, use the tackifying solvent as necessary.
If the de-ice boot is allowed to get off course, pull up
with a quick motion and re-apply boot. If cement is
removed from either surface, completely remove the
boot and re-apply cement as in 3.1 .4, Step c. Use
tackifying solvent as necessary to re-install the boot.
When correctly positioned, press firmly with rubber or
wooden hand roller along full length of leading edge to
form a tight bond.
b. Gradually tilt roller over either side of leading edge
contour to avoid trapping air. Roll from leading edge of
blade toward the trailing edge. Work a small section at
a time. starting at the inboard section of the blade
working toward the tip. Work all excess boot material
out to.perimeter before moving to the next section. If
excess material at boot edges tends to pucker. use
fingers to carefully work puckers smooth.
c. Remove masking tape applied in 3.1.3. Step d.
3.1.6 FINAL ELECTRICAL CHECK
a. Check the electrical resistance between the ground
lead ("G") and inboard lead ("I") then the ground ("G")
and the outboard ("0") lead of a dual element boot.
Check resistance between the ground lead ("'G") and
the positive lead ("I") of a single element boot. Com-
pare the readings with the maximum and minimum
values listed in Table 3.2 for that particu I ar de-ice boot
part number.
b. Check for intermittent open circuits by tensioning the
de-ice boot leads and/or strap slightly while measur-
ing resistance. Also, press lightly on the entire de-ice
boot heating element surface and in the area adjacent
to leads. Resistance must not fluctuate. This check is
important because an intermittent open circuit may
not show up until the propeller is rotating.
3.1.7 APPLICATION OF SEALER
a. MIXING OF MATERIALS
Mix two parts of Sunbrite 78~U-1003 brushable black
enamel with one part enamel catalyst U-1001-C.
b. APPLYING SEALER
. . - - - - - - - - CAUTION - - - - - - - - - . ,
It is imperative that the masking steps, as des-
cribed in 3-1.3, Step d and 3·1.5, Step c be fol·
lowed. This will ensure that the sealer will be
applied to both the adhesive and Va" of bare
metal. If the adhesion line and the sealer line start
at the same point water will be allowed to seep
underneath the adhesion line, resulting in an
ineffective seal.
Apply one, even. brush coat of sealer to the area around
the boot covering the Va" of bare metal and adhesive as
described above along with a masked off area of Va" of the
de-ice boot itself. Remove masking tape as sealer is
brushed on. otherwise. sealer will pull up along with the
tape. Allow sealer to dry. (SEE FIGURES 3.1 & 3.4)

3.1.8 CURING TIME
De-ice boots installed on a propeller as a result of repair
activity, that are to be installed on an aircraft immediately,
must be allowed to cure a minimum of 12 hours before
starting engine and 24 hours before actually operating
the de-ice system.
3.1.9 DE-ICE BOOT REMOVAL PROCEDURE
For de-ice boot removal procedure see Section 6.6 of this
manual.
3.2 SLIP RING INSTALLATION
3.2.1 GENERAL
As mentioned previously in this manual, McCauley
manufactures basically four different types of slip rings
for various installations (See Figure 2.3):
a. The slip ring is provided as a part of a starter ring gear
assembly which has been modified to accept a bolt-on
type slip ring assembly and replaces the original star-
ter ring gear. (Utilized only on Lycoming engine
applications.)
b. Slip ring assembly is factory mounted and supplied as
part of the propeller assembly (Pratt and Whitney
engine installations).
c. Separate slip ring assembly which is attached to the
back of the propeller hub or mounts between the pro-
peller/engine flange and the back of the propeller hub.
d. A pulley/slip ring assembly in which the pulley is
machined to accept the slip rings that become an
integral part of the pulley. These pulley/slip ring
assemblies are mounted between the propeller/engine
flange and the back of the propeller hub. (Typically
used where pulley is air conditioner and/or alternator
drive.)
14
3.2.2 INSTALLING SLIP RING ASSEMBLY
,..---------NOTE
All slip ring assemblies manufactured by McCau-
ley. JNith the exception of the starter ring gear
type, have an etched scribe line for correct onen-
tation of the assembly. This scribe line will
appear on either face surface of the aluminum
platter of the assembly (either slip ring Side or
terminal stud side) and will start at the outside
diameter and run toward the center line of the
assembly (approximately ':•" long). In all cases
the slip ring assembly should be orientated so
that this line falls directly on the center line of a
propeller blade. Refer to aircraft manufacturers
procedure tor orientation of starter ring gear type
assemblies (See Figure 2.3).
a. Place the slip ring assembly on propeller mounting
studs or propeller hub and orientate the assembly so
that the scribe line, as described in the preceding note.
falls in line with a propeller blade. On application·
which the slip ring is attached to the back of the ~
peller hub. first attach the slip ring assembly to the
spinner bulkhead assembly, making sure to orientate
as described above. Attach with screws and washers
provided. Torque screws and lockwire heads as des-
cribed in applicable data sheet.
Next. secure the slip ring assembly (with spinner bulk-
head attached) to the propeller hub with screws and
washers provided and again orientate as described in
the preceding note. Torque screws and lockwire screw
heads per applicable data sheet.
b. All McCauley slip rings are precision machined for
correct face runout from the same surface of which
they will be installed on the propeller. Therefore. it is
not necessary to check run-out of the slip ring sur-
faces after installation.
CAUTION - - - - - - - - ,
Do not, under any circumstances, shim any
McCauley slip ring assemblies to change or cor-
rect slip ring run-out. To check run-out of used
slip rings and methods of correction, see Section
6.4 of this manual.

3.3 BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
BRACKET INSTALLATION
3.3.1 MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
Install mounting bracket to engine with bolts, washers.
nuts. and spacers (if required) ln sequence as shown on
applicable aircraft data sheet.
On installations where the mounting bracket is installed
to the front engine case studs, existing nuts are to be
used to secure the bracket (see applicable aircraft data
sheet). Torque per applicable aircraft or engine manual.
3.3.2 BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
NOTE
Installation of the brush block assembly should
be deferred, where possible. until after the slip
ring assembly. pulley/slip ring assembly, or start-
er ring geartslip ring assembly, propeller and
related components are installed. However. instal-
lation of the mounting bracket can be made more
conveniently prior to installation of these com-
ponents to the engine.
a. Attach brush block assembly, spacers. and shims (thin
washers) to the mounting bracket with the two screws
and washers provided as shown on applicable data
sheet. Locate the brush block on the mounting bracket
using care not to exert any side loads on the brushes
which may cause breakage. Secure, but do not tighten
the two mounting screws at this time.
CAUTION - - - - - - - - ,
To avoid breakage, keep brushes retracted In
brush block until slip ring, starter ring gear/slip
ring, or pulley/slip ring and propeller assemblies
. have been installed.
3.3.3 BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY ALIGNMENT
REQUIREMENTS
In order to get smooth, efficient and quiet transfer of
electrical current from the brushes to the slip rings, brush
alignment must be checked and adjusted, if necessary, to
meet two requirements:
a. BRUSH PROJECTION
Projection must be such that the distance between the
brush holder and the face of the slip rings is .064 "±
.015" through 360° of slip ring rotation (see applicable
data sheet).
b. FACE ALIGNMENT
The brushes must be lined up with the slip rings so that
the entire face of each brush is in contact with the slip
ring throughout the full360° of slip ring rotat1on (See
Figure No. 3.2).
3.3.4 BRUSH BLOCK ALIGNMENT METHODS
a. BRUSH PROJECTION
Brush projection can be adjusted by loosening the two
screws attaching the brush block assembly to the
mounting bracket and holding the brush block in the
designated position while re-tightening the screws.
Slotted holes are provided in the mounting bracket for
this purpose. Torque screws per ap.plicable data sheet.
b. FACE ALIGNMENT
Face alignment of the brushes must be adjusted by
removing the two screws that hold the brush block to
the mounting bracket. Add or remove the thin washers
(shims) under each spacer as required to correct
alignment. Re-install screws and lockwire screw
heads. Torque screws per applicable data sheet.
c. TESTING ALIGNMENT
When a chattering or screeching noise is emitted from
the brush/slip ring area, the probable cause is the
improper alignment of the brush block and slip ring
assemblies.
NOTE --------------~
Chattering or screeching may be detected by
pulling each propeller through slowly in the
direction of rotation and should be corrected
immediately.
If this chattering or screeching noise is noticed
over idling engine noises, the trouble is severe
and should also be corrected immediately.
As a general rule, engines should be run for one
hour before energizing the de-ice system. This
will ensure proper seating of the brushes to the
slip rings and prevent any arcing which could
cause radio noise or rapid wear of the brushes.
3A WIRING HARNESS OR LEAD STRAP
INSTALLATION
3.4.1 GENERAL
There are basically two methods of trans terri ng electrical
current from the slip ring assembly to the de-ice boots.
a. With a detachable lead type de-ice boot a separate
wiring harness is used to transfer electrical current
from the slip ring to the de-ice boot.
15
 830415
SECTION 3
INSTALLATION (CONT.)
b. On installations using integral lead type de-ice boots
the lead strap of the boot is attached directly to the slip
ring assembly.
3.4.2 INSTALLING WIRE HARNESS (DETACHABLE
LEAD TYPE BOOT)
First attach wiring harness leads to the de-ice boot lead
attaching bracket with hardware provided as shown in
Figure3.3. Make certain that harnesses are located in the
clamp so that the shoulder of the molded rubber portion
of the harness is against the side of the clamp as shown in
Figure 3.3. This will prevent damage to the harness due to
centrifugal force.
After the harness is connected to the de-ice boot leads.
route the remainder of the harness as shown in applica-
ble data sheet. In all cases there will be a clamp located
on the spinner bulkhead for support of the harness. All
excess harness length must fall between this clamp and
the attachment to the de-ice boot leads. This will ensure
proper harness length when the propeller blade is in its
furthest angle away from the bulkhead clamp, whether it
be reverse or feather position. depending upon the appli-
cation. Some applications require additional clamping
on the blade shank other than the clamp provided tor
attachment to the de-ice boot lead mounting bracket. In
'this case all excess harness length should fall between
the bulkhead clamp and the last clamp located on the
blade shank. On all applications requiring additional
clamping to the blade shank a special balance weight
holder is supplied as part of the propeller assembly. This
special holder has a provision tor mounting the clamp
(see applicable data sheet).
After connecting the harness to the de-ice boot leads and
clamp, bulkhead clamp and any additional blade shank
clamps. route the remaining harness length to the slip
ring assembly as shown on the applicable data sheet.
Some applications require that the harnesses extend
through the spinner bulkhead. On these applications.
grommets are required in the bulkhead to prev.ent break-
age of the harnesses. Some applications, using extended
hubs. require that the wiring harnesses be routed along
the propeller hub and are held in place with nylon tie
wraps (see applicable data sheet). Attach leads to cor-
responding slip ring studs with nuts and washers pro-
vided. Torque nuts per applicable data sheet.
3.4.3 INSTALLING LEAD STRAPS (INTEGRAL LEAD
TYPE BOOT)
Route lead straps as shown on applicable data sheet
taking care not to twist the strap. The lead straps should
16
be clamped to the spinner bulkhead with clamps pro-
vided. All excess strap length should fall between thts
clamp and the de-ice boot. A rubber grommet is to be
used when routing the strap through the spinner bulk-
head. Attach leads to the corresponding slip ring studs
with nuts and washers provided. Torque nuts per appli-
cable data sheet.
NOTE
Leads for both the wiring harnesses and lead
straps are marked for attachment to the slip ring
studs and to the de-ice boot leads when using the
wire harness. However, the slip ring studs of the
slip ring assembly are not marked. In all cases
the smaiiNt diameter slip ring Is used as the
ground. On a three ring slip ring assembly the
largest diameter ring is used for the outboard or
"0" connection and the middle ring is used for
the inboard or "/" connection. See Figure 2.3.
After installation of the wiring harnesses or lead straps is
complete, make sure that the length is sufficient so as nr
to be placed in tension when the propeller is mov~
through full pitch range.
CAUTION - - - - - - - - ,
Do not run engines with spinner dome r~moved;
damage will result to the wiring harnesses or lead
straps due to the centrifugal force.
3.5 TIMER INSTALLATION
. - - - - - - - - - CAUTION - - - - - - - - - ,
Before installing the timer. check the part number
on the timer label and compare to the number
called out on the data sheet. Several different
McCauley timers are similar in appearance but
are not interchangeable due to the cycle times.
Follow aircraft manufacturers recommendations tor
location and installation of the timer.
Installation dimensions and pin call-outs for the timer
can be found on the applicable data sheet.
3.6 AMMETER, SWITCH, AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
INSTALLATION
Installation and service procedures for these items shot..
be obtained from the aircraft manufacturer.

If propeller is mstalled on aircraft, propeller de-ice circuits must be electrically isolated from the rest oft he aircraft wiring
when making the above resistance check. Use one of the following methods to isolate:
1. Remove the brush block assembly.
2. Retract brushes and slip a sheet of paper between the brushes and slip rings. Do not misalign or damage the brushes
while inserting the paper shim.
3. Disconnect wiring harness on the brush block mounting bracket terminal strip.
Be sure terminals are tight, but no not over-torque.
Compare with the above table for minimum and maximum values in ohms between common ground and either of the
other terminals when de-ice boot terminals are attached to proper studs.

830415

SECTION 4
REQUIRED INSPECTIONS

4.1 GENERAL
(See. also, FAA Advisory Circular 43 and superseding
FAA releases.)
To preserve the aircraft battery when making ground
checkouts. run a minimum number of cycles with the
propeller in the static condition. Use of an auxiliary
power supply is suggested. The de-ice boots should not
be operated continuously for more than five minutes
under high ambient temperature conditions (above 100°
F.) without allowing them to coot down.
4.2 100 HOUR INSPECTION
Remove spinner dome and open access doors as neces-
sary. Do not run engine(s) with spinner dome(s) removed
or failure of the lead straps or wiring harnesses will occur.
4.2.1 DE-ICE BOOTS
a. Closely check de-ice boots for wrinkled. loose. or torn
areas. particularly around the outboard edges and
where the lead strap passes under the rubber res-
trainer strap. Look for abrasion or cuts. especially

Revtston (2)
SeptemDer 1987 23
 830415
SECTION 4
REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
along the leading edge and the face or flat side of the
blade.
Foreign object damage must be given careful inspec-
tion. not just for damage to the boot or heating ele-
ment. but also for blade damage beneath the boot.
De-ice boot elasticity may obscure blade damage. If
boot is damaged or cut completely through to the
blade or if blade damage beneath a boot is suspected.
the boot must be removed for blade inspection/repair.
A damaged boot may result in an electrical open or
short circuit in the boot heating element. Boot replace-
ment is then required. A damaged heating element
may also cause arcing to the blade surface. Damage of
this type may also require blade replacement.
b. Check that lead strap clamps, terminal clamps. and tie
wraps are secured and properly installed. Refer to
applicable data sheet. Look for cracks or other dam-
age. Ensure that screws with provisions for lockwire
are indeed lockwired.
c. Check that de-ice boot lead straps or wire harnesses
are not placed in tension throughout blade travel. If
tension exists. ensure that all excess harness length
falls between the last clamp located on the blade
shank and the clamp located on the spinner bulkhead.
If tension still exists. check de-ice boot location
dimension ("X") given in Table3.1 and de-ice boot part
number as shown on applicable data sheet. If location
exceeds given dimension. and part number is correct.
remove de-ice boot and reapply boot per section 6.6 or
install new boot if condition of old boot warrants
replacement. If part number is incorrect. replace with
correct part. All de-ice boots must be located the same
distance from the hub for rotational balance.
On detachable lead type boots. check that terminals
are not shorting out to each other. Inspect all wiring
harnesses for evidence of chafing or shorting. If chaf-
ing is found, remove source and replace harness.
Ensure that all clamps and tie straps are properly
installed.
d. Ensure that lead strap clamps and terminal screw
assemblies are tight and in good condition.
e. With de-ice system switch on and an assistant observ-
ing ammeter. flex lead straps or wire harnesses of
de-ice boots which are operating. Any movement of
the ammeter needle. other than the normal flicker from
the timer cycling, indicates a short or open circuit that
must be located and corrected. Check continuity of
24
wiring affected while flexing and prodding the sus-
pected area.
f. With de-ice switch on. feel de-ice boots on propeller( s)
for proper sequence of heater operation. For proper
sequence of operation. see section 2.4 and related
figures. 'Temperature rise should be noticeable and
each heater should warm while energ1zed. Local hot
spots indicate surface damage requiring replacement
of the de-ice boot.
4.2.2 SLIP RING ASSEMBLY
a. Visually and by feel check slip rings for excessive wear.
rough surfaces, cracks. burned or discolored areas.
and deposits of oil, grease. and dirt.
b. Clean greasy or contaminated slip rings with MEK
(methyl ethyl ketone).
c. If uneven wear is found or if wobble is noticed. set up
dial indicator and check run-out of slip nng assembly
(see section 5.4).
d. Replace or repair worn or damaged slip nngs per
section 6.4.
4.2.3 BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
BRACKET
a. Examine mounting brackets and brush block assem-
blies for cracks. deformation. or other physical dam-
age. Remove dirt and oil and check to assure that
torque has not been lost on mounting bolts and other
screws of this assembly. Check for damage of Insula-
tor fins of terminal strip on mounting bracket.
b. Check brushes for excessive wear. chipping. or break-
age. To check brushes for wear while mounted on
aircraft. insert a small diameter feeler gage in the slots
provided on the sides of the brush block assembly. If
the gage can pass beyond the bottom of the brush. the
assembly must be overhauled or replaced. The brush
block assembly should be dismounted and the brush
length measured periodically in order to determine
usable remaining brush lengths (see Section 6.5).
c. Check brush block assembly tor accumulation of
grease or fuel and for accumulation of carbon depos-
its on the block between the brushes. Clean the
assembly using MEK and check brushes for wear.
Repair source of contaminant leakage (see section 6.5
for repair of brush block assembly). CAUTION: DO
NOT SOAK BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY IN MEK.
d. Ensure that each brush rides fully on its slip ring
 830415
SECTION 4
REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
throughout 360° rotation (see Section 3.3.3 and Figure
3.2). Re-align as necessary.
e. Check for proper clearance between brush block and
slip ring assembly (see Section 3.3.3). Loosen mount-
ing screws and move assembly as necessary to
comply.
4.2.4 TIMER TEST
(Necessary in 100 hour inspection only if de-ice boot
heat test or ammeter reading outside normal current
range indicates system malfunction.)
The correctness of the timer cycling sequence should be
checked in the following manner (refer to Table 4.1 for
appropriate pins and sequence):
NOTE - - - - - - - - - - ,
For bench checkout of timer. use a power supply
capable of0-30 VDC with a range of0-20 amps;
2% or less ripple, and a voltmeter to check output
pin timing. Use a minimum 10 amp load for each
output.
a. Remove connector plug of wire harness from timer
and jump power input socket to timer input pin. Refer
to Table 4.1 for identification of pins.
b. Jump timer ground pin to ground.
c. Turn on de-ice system.
d. Check timer operation perTable4.1 using a voltmeter.
e. Check volts to ground in each case. If engines are not
operating and no auxiliary power is used, voltage may
be too low for timer to operate properly. Voltage
should not drop below 22 VDC while checking timer.
f. Hold the voltmeter probe on the energized pin until the
voltage drops to 0. Move the probe to the next pin in
the sequence as shown in the table. Check voltages of
each pin in sequence. When correctness of the cycling

SERVICE

5.1 INTRODUCTION
Whether in flight or during ground checks. the ammeter
can be used to determine the general nature of most
electrical problems. The trouble shooting chart is based.
primarily, on the use of the ammeter and it is assumed
that the user understands all normal operating modes of
the de·ice system. Read all of the "trouble" entries to
locate the one matching the conditions of the system
being checked. The "probable cause" and "remedy"
entries pertinent to each trouble are arranged in the
recommended checking sequence.
5.2 HELPFUL HINTS
a. Refer to Table 3.1 for normal current range of each
de-ice system with engines running. The ammeter
reading will be slightly lower than normal when the
system is operated on only battery voltage.
b. Use the "heat test" (Section 4.2.1 step f) to determme
which engine's de-ice boots are not operating. Use
wiring schematic on applicable data sheet to trace
circuits. These schematics are limited to the w1nng
between the timer and the de-ice boots. For remam1ng
system schematics see applicable aircraft manufac·
turer's service manual.
c. Excess current reading on the ammeter always indi·
cates a power lead is shorted to ground. When trouble
of this nature is found it is vital that the grounded
power lead be located and corrected immediately.
d. Defective wiring in propeller mounted components
may be indicated by normal current readings when
propellers are not rotating. but low current with pro-
pellers rotating at normal cruise RPM. For this condi-
tion see Section 4.2. 1. step e.

d. Dirty slip ring surfaces.
e. Brushes arcing.
a. Check brushes for proper face align-
ment and brush projection per Sec-
tion 3.3.3.
b. Check slip ring run-out with dial
indicator per Section 5.4.
c. Re-machine per Section 6.4.
d. Clean rings with MEK.
e. See 11. a.

5.4 SLIP RING RUN-OUT TEST
Severe arcing and brush wear often occur when there is a
"wobble" in the starter ring gear/slip ring assembly, pulley/
slip ring assembly, or slip ring assembly. This condition, if
allowed to exist. will cause the brushes to constantly ride
in and out of the brush holder resulting in rapid deteriora-
tion of the brush/slip ring surfaces and will lead to even-
tual failure of the de-ice system.
To alleviate this condition. ensure that the slip ring face
run-out does not exceed .008" T.I.R. (total indicator read-
ing). Check run-out in the following manner:
a. Mount a dial indicator to the engine case.
b. Rotate the slip ring through 360° of rotation.
c. Observe dial indicator for a total indicator reading not
to exceed .008".
d. If the reading exceeds .008", slip ring assembly must
be removed and re-machined. See section 6.4 for
machining.
CAUTION
Removal and Installation of slip ring assemblies
on McCauley propellers tor Pran and Whitney
engine installations are limited to AUTHORIZED
FAA APPROVED PROPELLER REPAIR STA•
TIONS ONLY. Partial disassembly of the pro-
peller is fequired. Follow recommended proce-
dures in applicable propeller service manual for
removal and installation.
e. If reading is exceeded on assemblies which mount
between propeller engine flange and propeller hub.
remove assembly, clean mounting surfaces, reinstall.
and recheck run-out.
CAUTION - - - - - -
Do not, under any circumstances, anempt to cor·
rect run-out of slip rings by shimming assembly
or changing the torque of mounting screws or
bolts.
f. After run-out is corrected. check the brush block
assembly to slip ring alignment per Section 3.3.3.
5.5 DE-ICE BOOT RESISTANCE CHECK
To determine de-ice boot resistance, disconnect leads
from mounting bracket (detachable lead type boot) or
slip ring assembly (integral lead type boot). Check the
resistance between the ground lead ("G;') and inboard
lead ("1"), then between the ground ("G") lead and out-
board lead ("0") of a dual element boot. Check resis-
tance on a single element boot between the ground lead
("G") and the positive lead ("1"). Compare the readings
with the maximum and minimum values listed in Table 3.2
for that particular de-ice boot part number. If not within
limits, replace boot per Section 6.6.
5.6 BRUSH BLOCK CONTINUITY CHECK
Remove brush block assembly from mounting bracket
and check for continuity between each brush and pigtail
lead. If defective. see Section 6.5 for repair of brush blr
assembly.

SECTION 6
REPAIR
6.1 INTRODUCTION
a. USE OF CORRECT PARTS
The type and number of de-ice boots determine the
system current drain. The timer, wiring harnesses, and
brush block assemblies are designed to operate at that
current. Accordingly, only the de-ice boots. timer. wir-
ing harnesses, and brush block assemblies specified
for use on a particular aircraft may be used without
affecting de-ice system operation. When replacing
worn or detective parts, ensure that the replacement
instructions are followed explicitly (see parts list and
installation list section of this manual before ordering
replacement components.
b. ELECTRICAL
1. To attach terminals to wire, use a crimping tool
which crimps both sides of the terminal to avoid
loosening of insulation. See that terminal is crimped
on both insulation and bare wire. If wires are too
short to repair, replace component with correct part
number.
2. Bent pins on timer receptacle may be straightened
with long nose pliers: however. ensure that work
hardening does not leave pin brittle and susceptible
to breakage. If in doubt. replace the timer with cor-
rect part number.
3. Chafed or worn wire harness areas indicate the
need to redress the wire. If not too badly damaged,
these areas may be wrapped well with insulating
tape and covered with vinyl tubing. If in doubt,
replace the affected wire harness with correct part
number.
c. MECHANICAL
Use safety wire at timer, brush block assembly, slip
ring assembly, and wherever provisions are made tor
its use. Tighten all mounting hardware and electrical
connections firmly or according to torque values
given. Avoid excess force which might strip threads.
6.2 AMMETER, SWITCH, AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
Follow aircraft manufacturer's recommendations for
repair and replacement of these items.
6.3 TIMER
McCauley de-ice timers are not designed for field repair.
If failure should occur, replace timer with correct part
number and use the same or equivalent hardware for
mounting and making electrical connections as was used
originally. Follow aircraft manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for installation.
6.4 SLIP RING ASSEMBLY
When a chattering or screeching noise is emitted from
the brush/slip ring area, the probable cause is the
improper alignment of the brush block and slip ring
assemblies.
NOTE
Chattering or screeching may be detected by
pulling each ·propeller through slowly in the
direction of rotation and should be corrected
immediately.
If this chattering or screeching noise is noticed
over idling engine noises, the trouble is severe
and should also be corrected immediately.
NOTE
Surface friction from the brushes will produce a
concave wear pattern on the slip rings: This does
not necessitate replacement or remachining
unless rapid brush wear is encountered due to
extreme wear or surface roughness of the slip
rings. When a new brush block assembly is
installed on slip rings which have only minor
wear patterns, a rapid seating to the slip ring
occurs without degradation of operation or serv-
ice life.
CAUTION - - - - - - - - - .
Removal and installation of slip ring assemblies
on McCauley propellers for Pratt and WhHney
engine installations are limited to AUTHORIZED
FAA APPROVED PROPELLER REPAIR STA-
TIONS ONLY. Partial disassembly of the pro-
peller Is required. Follow recommended proce-
dures in applicable propeller service manual for
removal and Installation.
6.4.1 MACHINING
If structurally sound, slip ring assemblies with roughened
or damaged surfaces can be machined to restore service-
ability. See Table 6.1 for absolute minimum dimensions.
See Figure 6.1 for explanation of absolute minimum
dimensions. Check assembly before machining to deter-
mine if sufficient ring remains to allow form ach in i ng. Do
not use assemblies which are worn at or below the min-
imum dimensions.
31
 830415
SECTION 6
REPAIR (CONT.)
PROCEDURE
a. Thoroughly clean slip ring assembly. pulley/slip ring
assembly. or starter ring gear/slip ring assembly with
MEK before machining.
b. Check mounting surface flatness of assembly. It must
be flat within .005" overall.
c. Locate assembly concentrically in lathe so that there is
no more than .002" wobble or run-out over 360° of
rotation. Assembly should be fixtured in the lathe in
the same manner as it was attached to the propeller
assembly. Assemblies that are clamped between the
propeller engine flange and the propeller hub should
be clamped i'1 the lathe utilizing the pilot diameter for
the prop flange. Assemblies that are attached to the
back of the propeller hub should be fixtured utilizing
the same mounting holes that were used for attachment
to the hub. This will ensure that run-out held while
machining the assembly on the lathe will be transfered
when it is mounted to the propeller assembly.
d. Take a light cut for a smooth finish (25-20 micro-
inches). A mo-max high speed toot steel W' to %"
square tool is recommended. Grind tool as shown in
Figure 6.1. Spindle speed is to be 500 RPM or greater. If
machine vibration is noticed it should be corrected
before machining the slip ring assembly. If not cor-
rected. this vibration will transfer to the part resulting
in a chattered finish. To correct machine vibration
increase RPM until vibration disappears. Feed rate is
to be .002" or below with a finish pass of .005" to .010".
e. Ensure that face surfaces of slip rings are parallel and
flat within .008" overall.
f. Undercut insulation between and around slip rings to
obtain a total undercut of .050" to .060" as necessary.
Slip ring holder face must be undercutto same dimen-
sions as insulation. Do not machine any portion of
starter ring gears.
CAUTION - - - - - - - . ,
When undercutting Insulation between rings, do
not cut inside diameters and outside diameters
of slip rings more than .003" past the original
undercut diameters.
g. Deburr slip ring edges.
h. Polish ring faces with crocus cloth to obtain a finish of
16 to 22 micro-inches.
32
i. Check electrical resistance value between each nng
and the holder: and between each nng. Res•stance to
be 50K ohms minimum.
6.4.2 REPLACEMENT
Slip ring assemblies that are open electrically. cracked. or
damaged structurally: or which have damaged surfaces
beyond the scope of minbr repair should be replaced
with new assemblies. Install per Section 3.2 and ahgn
with brush block assembly per Section 3.3.3.
CAUTION
Removal and installation of slip ring assemblies
on McCauley propellers for Pratt and Whitney
engine installations are limited to AUTHORIZED
FAA APPROVED PROPELLER REPAIR STA·
TIONS ONLY. Partial disassembly of the propeller
Is required. Follow recommended procedures in
applicable propeller service manual for remo11al
and Installation.
6.4.3 SLIP RING STUDS
McCauley slip ring assemblies use a stud brazed to
slip ring tor making the electrical connection. While t-:
forming any work around these studs. avoid any side
loads on the studs which might lead to breakage of the
brazed joint and failure of the slip ring. Broken or missing
studs cannot be repaired in the field - the assembly
must be replaced.
6.4.4 ECCENTRIC RUNNING
If brush block assembly cannot be adjusted sufficiently
to prevent brushes from riding partially off the edge of the
slip rings through 360° of rotation. the slip ring assembly
mounting holes or the slip rings are not concentric. There
is no adjustment for this condition, therefore the slip ring
assembly must be replaced.
6.5 BRUSH BLOCK AND MOUNTING BRACKET
ASSEMBLIES
6.5.1 BRUSH BLOCK ASSEMBLY REPAIR
The brushes shall be replaced when only .094" of brush
material extends beyond the brush holder. To correctly
measure this dimension, insert a small diameter feeler
gage into the slots provided on the side of the brush
holder. With the feeler gage inserted into the slot. push
down on the brush until it bottoms out on the gage.
Measure the distance between the top surface of t'"
holder and the face of the brush. It this dimension •s .o
or less, the brush and holder assembly should b~
 830415

REPAIR (CONT.)
replaced. Continue this procedure for each brush (see
Figure 6.2).
6.5.2 REPLACEMENT OF BRUSHES
When replacing brushes. note the type and part number
of the brush block assembly to ensure proper replace-
ment of the brush and holder assemblies being ordered.
To replace brushes. disassemble brush block assembly
by removing the two screws located on the back of the
assembly. After removing screws. pull the metal brackets
ott the brush holder. which will in turn remove the
brushes from the slots in the holder. Discard the brush
and holder assemblies and replace with the correct part
number (see applicable parts list). Replace the brush and
holder assembly by first inserting the brushes into the
slots and then sliding the new bracket into place. Insert
the two screws back into place and test by pushing the
brushes into the holder to make sure that they spring
back. It brushes bind up and do not spring back, loosen
the screws and reposition the bracket so that the brushes
ride freely in the slots (see Figure 6.2).
After replacement of brushes is complete, install brush
block assembly per Section 3.3. Align brushes to slip
rings per Section 3.3.3.
6.5.3 MOUNTING BRACKET REPAIR
If damage has occurred to the metal bracket. it must be
replaced. If damage has occurred to the terminal strip on
the mounting bracket. the damaged terminal strip can be
replaced (see applicable parts list).
6.6 DE-ICE BOOT REPLACEMENT
6.6.1 REMOVAL
If a damaged de-ice boot necessitates replacement,
remove the boot in the following manner:
NOTE
Cushion the jaws of any pulling tool (vise grips,
pliers, etc.) to prevent damage to the boot. J.mless
it is to be scrapped.
a. If condition of de-ice boot after removal is unimpor·
tant. strip from blade without solvent. Boot may tear or
come off in pieces.
CAUTION
When removing boots from a complete propeller
assembly, care must be taken to prevent solvent
from leaking into the propeller hub and causing
damage to the seals. The blade being worked on
should be pointed towards the ground so that all
excess solvent will run to the outboard tip of the
blade. As an extra precautionary measure, the
hub and blade shank area should be masked. Do
not use any sharp object which might scratch the
blade when removing bool
b. Use of a liberal amount of MEK or toluol to soften
adhesion line between de-ice boot and propeller
blade. Starting at one corner. loosen enough of the
boot to grasp in the jaws of a vise grip plier or similar
tool. Apply a steady pull to remove the boot from the
blade surface slowly and carefully while continuing to
use a liberal amount of solvent to soften the adhesion
line.
c. Remove all residual cement from blade. Use solvents
with caution as mentioned above.
d. Visually inspect used propeller blades for damage or
deterioration prior to boot installation. Check for any
corrosion, cracks. dents. or nicks. Jf any detects are
found, the blade must be repaired by an authorized
propeller repair station prior to installation of the
de-ice boot.
e. After removal of the de-ice boot is complete. install
new boot per Section 3.1.
CAUTION
Do not use any sharp object which might scratch
the surface of the propeller blade.
6.6.2 PROPELLER PAINTING
Prior to painting, mask propeller de-ice boot and sealer
(approximately w· outside boot perimeter). Prime and
repaint blade as necessary.
