Tips for fixed pitch propellers mainly include the following steps and precautions:
Preparation:
Park the variable pitch vehicle on calm water and turn off the engine.
Adjust the pitch angle:
Adjust the pitch angle to 0 degrees or the minimum value. This is to ensure that the propeller is not damaged during the locking process.
Lock the throttle lever:
Use the appropriate tool to lock the adjustment screw on the throttle lever. Ensure that the throttle lever does not move accidentally to keep the propeller fixed.
Lock the propeller:
Lock the propeller on the boat by hand or with a clip to ensure that it does not rotate on its own. This step is very important to ensure the stability of the propeller.
Check the locking status:
Check and confirm that the rotation lock is fully locked at the bottom of the propeller. Be sure to check and confirm the locking status repeatedly to ensure safety.
