TurboPropAssembly Instructions

Instructions for 8 Blade Configuration

of 413.01.10

Manditory Drive Lug Check: You must determine if the drive lugs coming off of the engine flange are too long.Place the Engine-Side Plate against the engine flange and then place an Aluminum Hub Spacer over one of the drive lugs.The Aluminum Hub Spacer must sit flush against the Engine-Side Plate, if it does not, the drive lugs are too long and must either be cut-down or replaced with shorter drive lugs.

Aluminum Hub Spacers have a “lug end.” The “lug end” is the end with the larger diameter cutout which will accept a drive lug.

Terminology and OrientationThe TurboProp hub works in both right-hand and left-hand rotation applications, the only changes between the different rotations is the orientation of the Outer Plate and Center Plate. Figure 3 in the figure appendix on page 2 shows a marking (made with a center punch) which exists on both the Outer Plate and the Center Plate which will be used determine the correct orientation of the two plates for either a right-hand or left-hand rotation.

We are assuming that your propeller will push your vehicle. When facing your vehicle from behind, if you propeller rotates,• Clockwise it is in a “Right-Hand” rotation or,• Counterclockwise it is in a “Left-Hand” rotation.

When the instructions say that a component must face “up,” use Figure 2 in the figure appendix to determine which direction “up” corresponds to. As seen in Figure 2, the thickest plate, the Engine-side Plate, is the top plate of the assembled hub in this orientation and is in the “up” direction from the surface you are assembling the hub on.

The center-punch marking shown in Figure 3 must face the same direction for the Outer Plate and the Center Plate, either both face,• Center-Punch Marking Up for a “Right-Hand” rotation or,• Center-Punch Marking Down for a “Left-Hand” rotation.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the center-punch markings on the Outer Plate and Center Plate face in the same direction (both up or both down) and that they are oriented correctly (up or down) for your engine/reduction rotation or the bolt holes will not align properly.

NOTE: For many airboat applications, if a TurboProp is fully-assembled outside of the airboat cage, it is too large to fit past the rudders and the cage for installation. Therefore, we recommend assembling the hub outside of the cage, mounting the hub to the engine, and then mounting the propellers to the hub. We have included several steps in the following assembly instructions to make it easier to mount the hub to the engine when the propellers are not installed in the hub.

Each of the three TurboProp plates have eight holes at each propeller location which allow for different propeller diameters to be attained with the same propellers.

For further clarification, see the TurboProp Assembly Video on our website at www.WarpDriveInc.com/multimedia

Read page 1 of these instructions if you have not done so already.The following images show a right-hand rotation configuration.

Step 1.1 - Place a 1/2” Stainless Washer on each of the six Hub Mounting Bolts.

Step 1.2 - Slide the six Hub Mounting Bolts through the six holes in the Faceplate.

Note: The heads of the bolts and the washers should be on the engraved side of the faceplate.

This is the updated Faceplate, all other photos show the old version.

Step 2.1 - Place the result of Step 1 on your work surface with engraved side of the Faceplate facing down.

Step 2.2 - Place the Outer Plate over the Hub Mounting Bolts.

Note: Make sure the Outer Plate center-punch marking (Figure 3,Page 4) is facing up or down depending your propeller’s rotation as described in the Terminology and Orientation section on page 1.

Step 2.3 - Place four Prop Clamp Bolts, thread-end up in the Outer Plate at two of four possible propeller locations.

Step 3.1 - Place two Prop Clamping Blocks over each of the bolt pairs.

Step 3.2 - Place an Aluminum Hub Spacer, lug end up, over each of the six Hub Mounting Bolts.

Step 4.1 - Place the Center Plate over the six Hub Mounting Bolts and four Prop Clamp Bolts.

Note: The Center Plate center-punch marking must face the same way as the Outer Plate marking from Step 2.

If all ten bolts don’t line up with the plate correctly, rotate the Center Plate until they do.

Step 4.2 - Finger-tighten a 5/16” Nylock Nut on to each of the four Prop Clamp Bolts.

Step 5.1 - Place four Prop Clamp Bolts, thread-end up in the Center Plate at two of the possible four propeller locations and then place two Prop Clamping Blocks over each of the bolt pairs.

Step 5.2 - Place an Aluminum Hub Spacer, lug end up, over each of the Hub Mounting Bolts.

Step 7 - Once you have lifted the TurboProp Hub so that the Hub Mounting Bolts are horizontal, remove the rubber band before mounting the hub to your engine.Note: If you lift the hub without something (rubber band) holding the six Hub Mounting Bolts, they may fall out the bottom of the hub assembly which will allow the Aluminum Hub Spacers to go everywhere. Unless you like reassembly, we don’t recommend allowing that to happen.

Step 8 - Install the propellers and clamping blocks in the TurboProp Hub.Step 9 - Use the included Warp Drive Professional Protractor along with its instructions to set propeller pitch.

Torque all bolts to the proper specifications as documented on page 1 in the TurboProp Component Inventory.

Step 6.1 - Place the Engine-Side Plate over the six Hub Mounting Bolts and four Prop Clamp Bolts.

Note: There is no center-punch marking on the Engine-side Plate, it doesn’t matter which side is up.

If all ten bolts don’t line up with the plate correctly, rotate the Engine-side Plate 90°.

Step 6.2 - Finger-tighten a 5/16” Nylock Nut on to each of the four Prop Clamp Bolts.

Step 6.3 - Put the Rubber Band around the six Hub Mounting Bolts.
