Propeller Storage & Preservation

Storage and Preservation of Uninstalled Propellers

Uninstalled metal propellers should be stored vertically in a clean, dry,


warm atmosphere, free from fumes.

Wooden Propellers should be stored with their blades in a horizontal


position. If a wood propeller is left with its blades in a vertical position,
moisture can collect in the lower blade and cause an out-of-balance
condition.

Not Depending on the material of propeller, never store a propeller or


blades standing on the tips.

The blades and operating mechanism should be coated with lanolin, with
waxed paper over the hub.

The operating mechanism should be inhibited / coated in storage oil or a


medium prescribed by the manufacturer.

After 6 months and 9 months, the blade bearings should be exercised.

After 12 months, the propeller should be examined and re-inhibited.

After 3 years, the propeller should be overhauled.
