Standard Torque Wrench Torquing Adaptor
1.00 foot 0.50 foot
(304.8 mm) (152.4 mm)
(actual torque required) x (torque wrench length) = torque wrench reading
(torque wrench length) + (length of adaptor) to achieve required
actual torque
EXAMPLE:
reading on torque
wrench with 6-inch
100 Ft-Lb (136 N•m) x 1 ft (304.8 mm) 66.7 Ft-Lb <
= (152.4 mm) adapter
1 ft (304.8 mm) + 0.50 ft (152.4 mm) (90 N•m)
for actual torque of
100 Ft-Lb (136 N•m)
The correction shown is for an adapter that is aligned with the centerline of the
torque wrench. If the adapter is angled 90 degrees relative to the torque wrench
centerline, the torque wrench reading and actual torque applied will be equal.

PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT PROPELLER
CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST IN THIS
MANUAL FOR IDENTIFICATION OF PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS.
1. Torque Values (Rev. 1)
A. Important Information
(1) The structural integrity of joints in the propeller that are held together with
threaded fasteners is dependent upon proper torque application.
(a) Vibration can cause an incorrectly tightened fastener to fail in a matter of
minutes.
(b) Correct tension in a fastener depends on a variety of known load factors
and can influence fastener service life.
(c) Correct tension is achieved by application of measured torque.
(2) Use accurate wrenches and professional procedures to make sure of correct
tensioning.
(3) For the torque values to use when assembling a Hartzell Propeller Inc.
propeller, refer to Table 8-1, Torque Values in this chapter.
(4) When an adapter is used with a torque wrench, use the equation in Figure 8-1
to determine the correct torque value.

2. Blade Tolerances
Tolerances Affecting the Blades - Refer to Figure 8-2
Blade Tolerance 1 slug A-1305
Blade Track 0.125 inch (3.18 mm)
Blade End Play Movement at Tip * 0.125 inch (3.18 mm)
Radial Play (pitch change) * ±0.5 degree
Fore-and-Aft movement at tip *
(Face to camber) 0.125 inch (3.18 mm)
Blade Pitch Setting Tolerance 0.2 degree
Between Blades at Low Pitch
In-and-Out Blade Play 0.032 inch (0.81 mm)
* Refer to Figure 1-2 in the Testing and Fault Isolation chapter of this manual.
NOTE: Blades are intended to be tight in the propeller; however, slight movement is
acceptable if the blade returns to its original position when released. Blades with
too much movement or blades that do not return to their original position when
released may indicate internal wear or damage that should be referred to a
certified propeller repair station with the appropriate rating.

3. Carbon Block Assembly
A. Clearance Between the Carbon Block Unit and the Beta Ring
(1) Examine the following clearance dimension when installing the carbon block
assembly in the beta ring, and when there are unusual conditions that could
create excessive wear.
(a) The carbon block unit must be replaced at overhaul.
(2) The minimum side clearance between a new carbon block unit (1140) and the
beta ring (1120) when installed is 0.001 inch (0.03 mm). Refer to Figure 8-3.
(3) If the maximum side clearance between the carbon block unit and the beta ring
(1120) is greater than 0.010 inch (0.25 mm), replace the carbon block unit (1140).
