Locate the orientation of the propeller pins on the prop shaft. The PT6 on this installation utilizes the N flange as referenced in Hartzell Owners Manual 147, Figure 3-5 31 Apply Hartzell provided anti-seize compound PN A- 3338 to threaded studs on prop. This is typically provided with your new propeller. Align the Yukon prop in the correct orientation to the prop shaft dowell pins 32 Make note of washer, nut, and O ring reference as noted in Hartzell Owners Manual 147, Chapter 3, Figure and Table 3-1 as referenced below. Orientate washers accordingly 33 Torque per the installation instructions found in Hartzell Owners Manual 147, Section 3, Table 3-2 utilizing torque adapter PN AST- 2877-3. Torque per sequence found in Figure 3-3. 34 35 Safety wire or Safe-T-Cable to secure prop nuts after torque sequences. Do not allow pig tails or cable crimps to protrude outwards. This may result in undesirable contact with the beta bracket as it moves forward and aft. Note: Highly recommended to use Safe- T-Cable over safety wire Incorrect Correct Beta bracket movement of travel 36 SUGGESTED SAFETY CABLE TOOL WWW.DMCTOOLS.COM 37 Important-While you CAN use safety wire, it will be very difficult to access the nuts adequately and wire cleanly, let alone keep the wire away from beta ring.

REF NEXT SLIDE 44 Gently and evenly install the spinner. Once holes are aligned start with the center holes first in all four spinner quadrants. Once these center four screws are installed, work outward on the remaining 4 screws. 45 NOTE: There may be slight spinner to nose cowl clearance issues. You may have to adjust the RH nose cowl bracket at this location to achieve sufficient space needed for clearance. You may also have to elongate holes slightly and reposition bracket if more clearance is needed. In the photo below, note the tightest area is typically just above oil cooler opening on RH cowl half 46 BETA FEEDBACK ARM 47 Installation of the reversing linkage arm is accomplished using 3 different data sources. 1.

This can be found in the video below, reference the 12:18 point of the video. NOTE: By adjusting the low idle NG per note 7, other parameters of the engine rigging may change. Be wary of completing a single adjustment and expecting all other rigging to hold properly. 67 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pApxlmLiMw If the assumption is made that the engine is properly rigged prior to previous propeller removal, only one parameter is required to be changed on the PT6A-140 installation. This can be found in the -140 video below, reference the 14:35 point of the video. NOTE: By adjusting the low idle NG per note 8, other parameters of the engine rigging may change. Be wary of completing a single adjustment and expecting all other rigging to hold properly. 68 Reversing cam reference as noted below. 69 PERFORM FULL ENGINE RUNS WITH RIGGING CHECKS USING VIDEOS SHOWN AS A GUIDE.
