OVERHAUL MANUAL
1. Description
A. The C650 series propeller is a single acting unit in which hydraulic pressure opposes the forces of
springs and counterweights to obtain the correct pitch for engine load. Hydraulic pressure urges
blades toward low pitch (increasing RPM), while springs and counterweights urge blades toward high
pitch (decreasing RPM). (Refer to Figure 1).
B. The source of hydraulic pressure for operation is oil from the engine lubricating system, boosted in
pressure by the governor gear pump, and supplied to the propeller piston. The flow of oil through the
governor and the propeller does not interfere with engine lubrication.
C. The propeller is designed to operate in two modes of operation - beta mode and governor mode:
(1) Governor Mode - Oil is metered to and from the propeller (by governor control valve as positioned
by flyweights), increasing and decreasing blade angle (changing pitch) as required when the
propeller speed control setting is altered, or increasing and decreasing pitch to control and
stabilize engine speed with varying power conditions or flight attitudes with a fixed speed setting.
(2) Beta Mode - The pilot may select beta mode for ground reversing or taxi operation by means
of the aircraft engine mechanical linkage. The linkage repositions the propeller reversing lever
and beta valve to provide access for high pressure oil to reach the propeller piston and move
the blades toward reverse pitch. In Beta mode, the engine automatically, by controlling fuel flow,
develops power output to correspond with the pitch setting (determined by the pilot.
D. Cockpit procedure for normal constant speed operation, starting, stopping, and ground run-up is
consistent with standard practice for this type propeller.
E. In flight, complete reduction of hydraulic pressure, whether by happenstance (failure in system causing
loss of oil) or desire (actuation of control to require feathering), will permit and cause control springs
and counterweights to automatically move blades to full feathered (high or maximum pitch) position.
An electric unfeathering hydraulic pump (aircraft or engine supplied) is required to unfeather the
propeller.
F. The propeller hub cavity is partially filled with turbine oil which is sealed in the hub. It is isolated from
engine oil.
(1) The oil provides lubrication and corrosion protection to blade bearings and other internal parts.
G. The propeller has a start lock mechanism installed within the cylinder. This functions in response to
the centrifugal force of rotating weights when the engine is rotating. The mechanism includes latching
weights which will engage a fixed stop to block the movement of the piston in the direction of increasing
blade pitch angle beyond the start lock blade angle.
(1) Latch engagement is only possible when the engine is shut off on the ground.
(2) The latch weights move out by centrifugal force so as to offer no interference to propeller
operation in flight.
(3) During all normal operating conditions of the engine, the eights are disengaged, and offer no
resistance to feathering, unfeathering, or reversing of the propeller.
NOTE: Terms used in this manual are defined as follows for propeller assembly servicing and life:
A. Overhaul
(1) The interval between overhauls of the propeller must not exceed the limitations stated in MPC26
Owner/Operator Information Manual.
(2) Overhaul is the periodic disassembly, inspection, reconditioning and reassembly of a propeller
assembly which is constructed of a number of moveable, detachable parts.
(a) The period between overhauls is based either on hours of service (operating time) or on
calender time.
(3) At specified overhaul periods:
(a) Completely disassemble blade assembly.

3. Introduction
A. The propeller model number is the basic propeller assembly i.e. 4HFR34C652. Variations to the
assembly are specified by the "part number" for example, P6526153-XX. The part number identifies a
variation of the propeller assembly by the angles, blade diameter, paint scheme, oil-fill configuration,
and deice equipment.
EXAMPLE: Part number P6525322-0407 has a start lock angle of 6.0 degrees, reverse blade angle
of -5.0 degrees, feather angle of 88.5 degrees, L106LA-0 blades, uses the D-6198
paint scheme. Figure 2 illustrates a part number explanation.

9. Blade Installation
A. Install Blade
CAUTION: Hold the bearing parts in place while the blade butt is inserted into
the hub and moved for installation of the retainer ring halves.
(1) Position the hub with the appropriate socket down.
(2) Apply a thin film of Orelube K-2 to the O-ring (91) and install the O-ring in the groove of the blade
butt.
(3) Apply a thin coat of Orelube K-2 on the blade butt from the O-ring inboard, all shims, shim carrier,
and inside diameter of hub sockets.
(4) Wash both split retainer ring halves (82 - matched pair) in solvent and dry.
(5) Apply a thin film of Orelube K-2 to the split retainer halves.
NOTE: It is important that bearing parts (inner race, balls, spacers) be held in position while
the blade butt is inserted and moved for installation of retainer ring halves.
(6) With hub socket number 1 facing down, remove the spatulas from the number 1 socket.
(7) Insert the blade up through hub and bearing races so that the butt end is approximately 0.5 to
1.0 inch (12.7 to 25.4 mm) farther in the hub than the normal position.
(8) Hold the blade in this position, and install the split retainer (82) as follows:
CAUTION: Split retainer halves (82) are manufactured as matched sets and
must be installed as a matched pair (identifiable by serial numbers
etched on outside diameter).
(a) Insert one retainer-half through the front hub opening with the square (non-radiused) step
on the outer diameter facing down toward the blade tip (Refer to Figure 704).
(b) Position the retainer-half over the collar of the blade butt, so that its centerline coincides
with that of the butt.
(c) Grasp the retainer-half at its approximate center and move it out (away from the center)
allowing ends of the retainer-half to drop down (angle of approximately 45 degrees) toward
the blade recess below the collar.
(d) Move the retainer-half down, starting at the open ends into the blade recess. Continue
until retainer-half seats on the collar ledge in the recess.
(e) Slide retainer-half around the collar to the rear of the hub (opposite the cylinder opening).
(f) Install the second half in the same manner.
(g) Lower the blade, allowing the split retainer to engage the bearing inner race.
CAUTION: Be careful not to scratch the blade as you move the retaining ring
(90) to engage the groove in the butt. Retaining ring corners are
sharp. If blade shank is scratched by installation of the retaining
ring, the scratch must be polished out and blade shank refinished
(refer to the Blade Overhaul Manual). Scratches are focal points for
corrosion and for the start of fatigue cracks.
(9) Rotate the blade back and forth several time to confirm proper engagement.
(10) Install wire ring (87) into the retaining ring groove before sliding the shim carrier and shims
against the blade.
(11) Position the shim carrier (86) and shims (87, 88) against the surface of the hub socket.

CAUTION: Do not scratch the blade while moving the retaining ring into the
groove on the blade butt.
CAUTION: If the sharp corners of the retaining ring (90) scratch the blade shank
during installation then the scratch must be polished out and the
blade shank refinished.
(12) Using a snap ring pliers, carefully expand the retaining ring (90) and install it in the designated
groove in the blade butt.
(13) After the retaining ring is installed, make sure the ring is properly seated.
(a) Insert the blade of a straight screw driver into one of the snap ring holes, and tap lightly
until the other side of the snap ring starts to move around the blade.
(b) Insert the blade of a straight screw driver into the opposite snap ring hole, and tap lightly
until the other side of the snap ring starts to move around the blade.
CAUTION: When you insert the blades, make sure all of the blade faces are
forward. It may be impossible to rotate the last blade to the correct
position if it is installed incorrectly with the actuating pins (75)
installed.
(14) Put each blade socket in the down position and do the procedure again for all four blades.
NOTE: This procedure is best done with a deflecting beam or a dial type torque wrench. A click
type torque wrench may not be used.
(1) Turn the propeller so that the Number 1 blade is in the down position.
(2) Install the blade torque adapter on the Number 1 blade at the 42-inch (1066.8 mm) station.
(3) Make sure the actuating pins do not strike one another as you carefully rotate each blade
approximately 180 degrees back and forth five times.
(4) Measure the amount of torque required to rotate each blade with a torque wrench and a standard
hex adapter.
(5) Use the formula that follows to compute the actual torque required to move the blade:
CAUTION: Actual torque to rotate each blade must not exceed 60 inch-pounds
(6.7 N-m).
(6) Actual torque of 60 inch-pounds (6.7 N-m) or less is acceptable.
NOTE: Blade shake is the natural tendency for a blade to wobble slightly when the tip is moved by hand.
Blade shake does not affect the structural strength of the blade and has no adverse affect on
propeller operation.
A. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual for Blade Shake Check procedure.
(1) A blade shake measurement up to 0.188 inch (4.76 mm) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Only two anti-blade shake split shims up to 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) total
thickness are permitted per blade and only one solid shim is permitted
per propeller blade.
CAUTION: The bottom edge of the solid shim must always be below the top edge
of the shim carrier.
CAUTION: After changing a shim, make sure to check the blade torque again.
B. To reduce excessive blade shake, remove the blade retaining ring and install a thicker split shim.
C. Do this procedure for all four blades as necessary.
CAUTION: Looking at the front of the propeller with the number 1 blade straight
up, install the piston rod assembly with the index plate keyway at
the 1 o'clock position. Assembly in any other position will cause
misalignment of the start lock mechanism.

1. General
A. The checks and adjustments described in this section are to be done as part of the assembly process.
B. Refer to the Standard Practice Manual, Section 60-00-07, Blade Track and Blade to Blade Balance
procedures.
NOTE: Zero the protractor from a flat surface on the support plate and bushing assembly.
NOTE: Do not remove the shim(s) from each feather stop bolt
(3) With the shim(s) held against the feather stop bolt, measure and note for future reference the
distance from the top of the feather stop bolt to the bottom of the last installed shim.
NOTE: The shim and bolt head stack height should be the same for both sets of shims and
bolts.
NOTE: The maximum feather stop shim stack thickness is 0.060 inch.
NOTE: A 0.023 inch (0.58 mm) shim adjustment changes the blade feather angle
approximately 1.0 degree. If shims are added to the shim stack the feather angle
will decrease. If shims are removed the feather angle will increase.
(6) Measure the thickness of each new feather stop bolt (49) with the feather shim(s) (50) installed
and held against the head of the stop bolt. Both feather stop bolt/shim assemblies must have
the same thickness and the measured thickness should be the same thickness as the removed
bolt/shim assemblies.
(7) Install and torque the new feather stop bolts. (Refer to Table 701).
NOTE: Set the start lock angle with the cylinder assembly installed but the feathering spring and
feathering spring housing removed.
A. Check
(1) Turn the blades toward reverse pitch.
NOTE: The clicking sound is the start locks sliding over the start lock latch.
(2) When the locks engage, turn the blades with equal force toward high pitch to take up the slack
in the linkage.
(3) Measure the blade start lock angle at the reference station.
NOTE: Zero the protractor from a flat surface on the forward end of the cylinder.
(a) Make sure the start lock check is as required in Table 1 at the 30 inch reference station.
(2) Change the start lock shims (28) as necessary to get the allowable blade start lock angle.
NOTE: A 0.03 inch (0.76 mm) shim adjustment changes the blade start lock angle 1.0 degree.
Add shims to decrease the blade start lock angle. Remove shims to increase the
blade start lock angle.
NOTE: Zero the protractor from the flat surface on the forward end of the cylinder.
(a) Make sure the reverse stop angle is as required in Table 1 at the 30 inch reference station.
CAUTION: Release the air pressure before the cylinder assembly is removed.
A. Adjust.
(1) Remove the reverse stop screw (29).
(2) Change the shims as necessary to get the allowable reverse blade reverse angle.
NOTE: The maximum reverse stop shim stack thickness is 0.060 inch.
