1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The SCHOTTEL rudder propeller, hereafter called SRP, is a Z-drive unit. The lower gearing with
the propeller has been designed to be able to infinitely turn to port or starboard, so that the full
propeller thrust can be directed to any desired direction, thus obtaining the optimum
combination of propulsion and steering. The power is transmitted through two pairs of spiral
bevel gears made from high quality material. The steering is transmitted through such a pair of
bevel gears. All bevel gears have been hardened and lapped in pairs The lower gearing with
associated screws and gaskets is made of corrosion resistant material.

2.1 INSTALLATION OF THE SRP IN THE WELL
See Figure 2
- Remove the lower section (9) after having unscrewed the hexagon nuts (2).
- Install the SRP in the well foundation (5) with rubber gasket (4).
- Attach the lower section (9) again, checking sealing faces and sealing ring for cleanliness.
Caution: On the SRP's 150 ... 300, install the power transmission shaft (6) in such a way that the
worm (7) is located at the bottom.

- Install the SRP with well foundation (5) completely with rubber gasket (10) in well (11).
- Connect the electric oil warning system to the flow switch (Figure 1/6) by means of a 2 x 1.5
mm2 cable.
2.2 PROPELLER INSTALLATION
The installation of a flanged-on propeller in the form of a pulling configuration does not cause
any problems, so that it is not described herein in more detail. The torque load for the mounting
screws (M 16) is 177 Nm (18.1 mkp).
When installing a propeller on a tapered shaft (see Figures 3 and 4), pay attention to the following
points:
- Remove the fitting key (Figure 3/5 or 4/1) and check that it can be pushed through the slot of
the hub bore, remachine the slot, if required.
- Install the fitting key again, paying attention to secure seating by the clamping sleeve.
- When installing a new propeller (spare propeller), apply dye check paint onto the taper of the
propeller shaft, provisionally fit the propeller and check the wear pattern; the supporting surface
must be at least 70$, remachine the propeller hub, if required.
- The labyrinth space between propeller hub and gear-box must be free from foreign matter.
- The seating faces of the propeller shaft and hub bore must be cleaned; the hub seat must be
fitted in a hand dry condition.
- After the propeller has been fitted (Figure 3/1 or 4/7) screw on the propeller nut (Figures 3/3
or 4/5) and tighten the nut by means of a wrench hammer (normally, the wrench hammer forms
part of the scope of delivery of the SCHOTTEL rudder propeller). When the arrangement is
according to Figure 3, pay attention to the tab washer (Figure 3/2).
Caution: When tightening the propeller nut by means of the wrench hammer, the propulsion
system must be disengaged, in order to prevent gear teeth and bearings from being damaged.

- Lock the propeller nut according to Figure 3 by forcing the tab washer (Figure 3/2) into the slots
of the propeller hub and lock the propeller nut.
- Lock the propeller nut according to Figure 4 by tightening the clamping screws (Figure 4/2) , for
the specified torque loads of the clamping screws (Figure 4/2), see the following table, the values
apply to slightly oiled screws.

M12 19 88.3 9
- Lock the screws (Figure 4/2) by means of locking wire (1.5 mm diameter).
- Fit the propeller cap (Figure 4/4), checking the sealing ring (Figure 4/6) for proper condition,
replace, if required.
- Screw in the screws (Figure 4/3), checking the USIT rings under the bolt heads for proper
condition. Tighten the screws (Figure 4/3) only to such an extent that the bottom of the propeller
cap (Figure 4/4) does not bend.
Note: The mounting screws (Figure 4/3) must be secured against loosening; the locking method
differs in accordance with the configuration. This may be accomplished by means of locking wire,
tab washers or by using Loctite No. 241.
