6. Component Life and Service

A. Maintenance
(1) Maintain propeller de-ice boots supplied by Hartzell Propeller Inc. in
accordance with this manual.
B. Component Life
(1) Component life is expressed in terms of hours of service (Time Since New, TSN)
and in terms of hours of service since overhaul (Time Since Overhaul, TSO).

NOTE: TSN/TSO is considered as the time accumulated between rotation

and landing (i.e. flight time).
(2) Both TSN and TSO are necessary for defining the life of the component. Some
parts are "life limited," which means that they must be replaced after a specified
period of use (TSN).
(3) When a component or assembly undergoes an overhaul, the TSO is returned to
zero hours.
(a) Time Since New (TSN) can never be returned to zero.
(b) Repair without overhaul does not affect TSO or TSN.
(4) Time Since New (TSN) and Time Since Overhaul (TSO) records must be
maintained in the propeller logbook.
(5) Propeller mounted and airframe mounted propeller ice protection system
components supplied by Hartzell Propeller Inc. do not require time tracking
unless specifically required in Hartzell Propeller Inc. service publications.
C. Airworthiness Limitations
(1) Certain components, as well as the entire propeller may have specific life
limits established as part of the certification by the FAA. Such limits call for
mandatory replacement of specified parts after a defined number of hours and/
or cycles of use.
(2) For specific life limits of each ice protection system component, refer to the latest
version of the Hartzell Propeller Inc. Propeller Ice Protection System Manual 180
(30-61-80).
D. Refer to Hartzell Propeller Inc. Propeller Ice Protection Component System
Maintenance Manual 181 (30-60-81) for determination of Airworhty Damage,
Unairworthy Damage, and repair procedures.

1. General

WARNING: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF A PROPELLER BLADE boot

REQUIRES THE USE OF SOLVENTS, PAINTS, AND OTHER
CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND DISPOSAL
REQUIREMENTS.

CAUTION 1: DO NOT ETCH, SCRIBE, PUNCH MARK, OR SIMILARLY IDENTIFY

PARTS IN ANY MANNER THAT MAY BE HARMFUL TO THE
structural integrity OR FUNCTION OF THE PROPELLER
components.

CAUTION 2: GRAPHITE ("LEAD") PENCIL MARKS WILL CAUSE CORROSION.

A. Propeller disassembly and reassembly may only be performed by qualified
personnel at an appropriately licensed propeller repair facility.
B. Replacement of a propeller blade boot on an assembled propeller may be performed
by qualified personnel with sufficient training and certifications (when required by the
applicable Aviation Authority) to accomplish the work required in a safe and airworthy
manner.
C. This chapter contains the Hartzell Propeller Inc. approved procedures for:
(1) Removing and installing a de-ice boot, restrainer strap, or erosion tape on a
metal blade
(2) Removing and installing a de-ice boot, terminal mount strap, restrainer strap, or
erosion tape on a composite blade

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL A cracked, delamiNated, or DAMAGED

DE-ICE BOOT ON A BLADE .
D. Before installing a de-ice boot on a blade, examine the de-ice boot for cracking, a
delamination, or other damage.
(1) A de-ice boot has no stated storage shelf life limit. The condition of the de-ice
boot determines if it may be installed on a blade.
E. When a de-ice boot is replaced on a propeller blade while installed in the hub,
position the propeller blade to prevent the contamination of other propeller
components.
F. Balancing of the propeller assembly is recommended after a de-ice boot is replaced
on a propeller blade. Refer to the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual and the
Hartzell Standard Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).
G. When using Methyl Propyl Ketone (MPK) CM219, the dry time and the time required
after adhesive reactivation for the adhesive to become slightly sticky to the touch is
significantly longer than when using Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) CM106.

blade leading edge. Installation of a de-ice boot on a blade that
has a de-ice boot centerline shift is found later in this chapter.
(c) For a blade that is not installed in the hub, mark the distance to the
inboard edge of the boot ("A" dimension, see Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1) on
the leading edge of the blade.
(d) For a blade that is installed in the hub, mark the distance from the hub or
blade clamp to the inboard edge of the boot ("B" dimension, see Table 3-1
and Figure 3-1) on the leading edge of the blade.
(e) Locate the leading edge by sighting up the leading edge from the blade tip
to the blade shank.
(f) Using a crayon or a soft non-graphite pencil CM162 or equivalent, make a
centerline mark on the blade shank in line with the leading edge centerline.
1 The boot location ("A" or "B" dimension) has a tolerance
of ± 0.062 inch (1.58 mm).
(g) Put the boot on the blade with the inboard edge of the boot aligned with
the "A" or "B" dimension mark.
(h) Most de-ice boots have a centerline indication marked with silver ink.
Some older designs have a scribed line or a raised area at the inboard and
outboard edges on the breeze (exposed) side to indicate the centerline of
the de-ice boot. If a de-ice boot has a centerline indication, use this as the
indicated centerline.
(i) For blades that do not have de-ice boot shift information specified in
Table 3-1, put the boot on the blade so that the indicated centerline of the
boot is aligned with the blade shank and leading edge centerlines.
1 If an indicated centerline mark is not provided on the boot, find the
center of the boot and mark centerline indications on the breeze
(exposed) side at the inboard and outboard edges of the boot.
2 Using a straight edge, connect the marks at the inboard and outboard
edges of the boot on the breeze (exposed) side to show the indicated
centerline.

(j) For blades that have de-ice boot centerline shift information specified in
the Table 3-1, mark the de-ice boot to show a new shifted centerline. Refer
to Figure 3-2.
1 If an indicated centerline mark is not provided on the boot, find the
center of the boot and mark centerline indications on the breeze
(exposed) side at the inboard and outboard edges of the boot.
2 Using the distance and direction specified for the de-ice boot centerline
shift in the Table 3-1, measure out from the manufacturer's indicated
centerline to identify the new shifted centerline.
3 Make marks on the breeze (exposed) side on the inboard and
outboard edges of the de-ice boot that show the new shifted
centerline that was identified in the previous step.
4 Using a straight edge, connect the marks at the inboard and outboard
edges of the de-ice boot on the breeze (exposed) side to make a new
centerline.
5 Put the de-ice boot on the blade so that the new shifted de-ice boot
centerline is aligned with the blade shank and leading edge centerlines.

NOTE: The new centerline causes the entire de-ice boot to shift
toward the face or camber side of the blade, as applicable.
(k) Fold the boot over the blade and hold it in position.
(l) Using a non-graphite pencil, mark a line approximately 0.5 inch (12.7 mm)
away from the boot around the entire perimeter, except at the shank.
(m) Remove the de-ice boot and apply masking material to protect the area
outside of the marking. Refer to Figure 3-3.

CAUTION: FILLER CM9 CAN DISSOLVE ADHESIVE CM10. IF FILLER CM9 IS

USED, CURE THE ADHESIVE CM10 FOR A MINIMUM OF
8 HOURS BEFORE THE FILLER CM9 IS APPLIED.
(1) Sealant CM8 or CM9 is used as a filler to blend the de-ice boot edge with the
blade surface and to protect the bond lines from contaminants on the de-ice
boot, tab, lead strap, or restrainer strap.
(a) CM9 replaces CM91, that was previously specified as a filler for a
de-ice boot.
(2) Filler is required on a de-ice boot with a lead strap three inches or longer, on a
de-ice boot with a tab, and on a restrainer strap. Refer to Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3,
and Figure 3-6.
(a) For a de-ice boot with a long lead strap, apply an even bead of filler 1/8 to
3/16 inch (3.18 to 4.76 mm) in diameter along the inboard edges of the
de-ice boot to approximately 3 inches (76 mm) outboard along the de-ice
boot on the face and camber sides of the blade, under the lead strap, and
along the edges of the lead strap.
1 To determine if the de-ice boot has a long lead strap, i.e., a lead
strap three inches or longer, measure the rubber portion of the strap

D. Removal of the De-ice Boot or the Terminal Mount Strap

(1) Two procedures are approved for removal.
(a) Procedure 1 (preferred) causes minimal damage to the paint finish. If
successfully followed, the blade should not require refinishing.
(b) Procedure 2 requires mandatory refinishing of the blade surface.
Procedure 2 is the ideal method for removal at overhaul because all of the
paint must be removed from the blade at overhaul.
(c) The two procedures may be combined.
(2) Removal Procedure 1

WARNING: MEK CM106, MPK CM219, AND TOLUENE CM41 ARE

FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC TO THE SKIN, EYES, AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND EYE PROTECTION
ARE REQUIRED. AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT AND
BREATHING OF VAPORS. USE SOLVENT RESISTANT
GLOVES TO MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT AND WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES FOR EYE PROTECTION. USE IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SPARKS AND FLAME.

CAUTION: IN THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES USE EXTREME

CARE NOT TO CUT INTO THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL.
NEVER SUBMERSE A BLADE IN A SOLVENT SOLUTION TO
REMOVE A DE-ICE BOOT.
(a) Using a clean lint-free cloth dampened with solvent MEK CM106,MPK
CM219, or toluene CM41, clean completely around the edges of the de-ice
boot or terminal mount strap.

NOTE: This will assist in loosening the edges of the de-ice boot or

E. Locate the Blade Centerline

(1) For Composite Blade Model E13890K Only - When Installed in a Hub:
(a) Move the propeller assembly to the full feathered position. Refer to
Hartzell Operation and Line Maintenance Manual 161 (61-10-61), or the
Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
(b) Locally manufacture a one-piece indicating strip.
1 The strip can be made out of any flexible material.
2 Cut the material to produce a strip measuring 0.75 inch (19.1 mm) x
2.38 inches (60.4 mm) long.
a A longer strip may be used if marks are placed 2.38 inches
(60.4 mm) apart, across the 0.75 inch (19.1 mm) width. This
technique will permit the ends of the strip to be held down
without obstructing the view.
(c) Put the indicating strip directly on the largest, machined diameter winding,
on the camber side of the blade.
1 While viewing from the tip of the blade, looking towards the hub,
adjust the position of the strip so that the left end of the strip (or mark)
aligns with the hub parting line.
2 The right end of the strip identifies the location of the blade
centerline.
3 Make a mark on the winding to indicate the position of the strip.
4 Make the mark between the blade seal ring and the largest diameter
machined section of the winding. Refer to Figure 3-8.
(2) For Composite Blade Model E13890K Only - When Removed from a Hub:
(a) Move the blade on the inspection bench to an angle of 54.7 degrees at the
54 inch radius (49.25 inches [1250.9 mm] from the butt of the blade).
(b) The blade centerline will be located at the 12:00 o'clock position on the
shank.
(3) For All Blade Models, Except E13890K - In or Out of a Hub
(a) Looking from the tip of the blade, sight along the leading edge, toward the
shank.
(b) Mark the winding where the curvature of the leading edge intersects the
largest machined diameter of the winding.
(c) Repeat this procedure, if necessary, after the preparation of the blade
because of the sanding and cleaning required.

F. Marking for Installation

CAUTION: EACH DE-ICE BOOT ON A SINGLE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY

MUST BE LOCATED THE SAME DISTANCE FROM THE HUB FOR
ROTATIONAL BALANCE.
(1) Refer Table 3-1 and Figure 3-7 for specific boot location ("A" dimension and
"B" dimension) and centerline shift information.

NOTE: Some de-ice boots are installed with the centerline shifted off the blade
leading edge. Installation of a de-ice boot on a blade that has a de-ice
boot centerline shift is found later in this chapter.
(2) For a blade that is not installed in the hub, mark the distance to the inboard
edge of the boot ("A" dimension, see Table 3-1 and Figure 3-7) on the leading
edge of the blade.
(3) For a blade that is installed in the hub, mark the distance from the hub or blade
clamp to the inboard edge of the boot ("B" dimension, see Table 3-1 and
Figure 3-7) on the leading edge of the blade.
(4) Locate the leading edge by sighting up the leading edge from the blade tip to
the blade shank.
(5) Using a crayon or a soft non-graphite pencil CM162 or equivalent, make a
centerline mark on the blade shank in line with the leading edge centerline.
(6) Put the boot on the blade with the inboard edge of the boot aligned with the
"A" or "B" dimension mark.
(a) The boot location ("A" or "B" dimension) has a tolerance of ± 0.0625 inch
(1.587 mm).
(7) For blades that do not have de-ice boot shift information specified in Table 3-1,
put the boot on the blade so that the centerline of the boot is aligned with the
blade shank and leading edge centerlines.
(a) Make marks on the breeze (exposed) side on the inboard and outboard
edges of the boot that show the centerline.
(b) Using a straight edge, connect the marks at the inboard and outboard
edges of the boot on the breeze (exposed) side to show the centerline.
1 The marked centerline is the centerline for installation and the
marked centerline may not indicate the actual center of the boot.

NOTE: Most de-ice boots have a centerline indication marked

with silver ink. Some older designs have a scribed line or
a raised area at the inboard and outboard edges on the
breeze (exposed) side to indicate the centerline of the
de-ice boot.

(8) For blades that have de-ice boot centerline shift information specified in the
Table 3-1, mark the de-ice boot to show a new shifted centerline. Refer to
Figure 3-9.
(a) Using the distance and direction specified for the de-ice boot centerline shift
in the Table 3-1, measure out from the manufacturer's centerline to identify
the new shifted centerline.
(b) Make marks on the breeze (exposed) side on the inboard and outboard
edges of the de-ice boot that show the new shifted centerline that was
identified in the previous step.
(c) Using a straight edge, connect the marks at the inboard and outboard
edges of the de-ice boot on the breeze (exposed) side to make a new
centerline.
(d) Put the de-ice boot on the blade so that the new shifted de-ice boot
centerline is aligned with the blade shank and leading edge centerlines.

NOTE: The new centerline causes the entire de-ice boot to shift toward
the face or camber side of the blade, as applicable.
G. Mask the Blade for Sanding
(1) Fold the boot over the blade and hold it in position.
(2) Using a non-graphite pencil CM162, or equivalent, mark a line approximately
0.5 inch (12.7 mm) away from the boot around the entire perimeter, except at
the shank.
(3) Remove the de-ice boot and apply masking material to protect the area outside
of the marking. Refer to Figure 3-10.
(4) Apply masking material to the following if applicable.
(a) For 7890K, E8190, E10950P(C)(B,K), E11990K and E12902K designs
if being Overhauled: Apply masking material to cover and protect the
erosion shield.
(b) E13890K Design Only: Do not apply masking material to the largest
diameter machined winding if a Terminal Mount Strap is to be applied.

H. Sand the De-ice Boot Location

CAUTION: FOR 7890K, E8190, E10950P(C)(B,K), E11990K AND E12902K

DESIGNS: DO NOT SAND THE NICKEL EROSION SHIELD IF IT
IS BEING OVERHAULED. WASH PRIMER WAS APPLIED TO THE
EROSION SHIELD DURING THE FINISH PROCEDURE AND MUST
NOT BE DISTURBED BY SANDING.
(1) For better de-ice boot adhesion, hand sand the area inside the masking tape
with 120 to 160 grit sandpaper until the polane painted surface is totally scuffed.
(2) For Blade Model E13890K: If a terminal mount strap is to be installed, sand the
largest diameter machined winding.
I. For Blade Models 7890K, E8190, E10950P(C)(B,K), E11990K
and E12902K - If Not Being Overhauled
(1) Make sure that all paint and primer is completely removed from the erosion
shield in the area that will be covered by the de-ice boot.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE ENTIRE AREA THAT WILL BE COVERED
BY THE DE-ICE BOOT IS THOROUGHLY SCUFFED.
(2) Using 120 to 160 grit sandpaper and sanding in the lengthwise direction (butt
of blade to the tip, sand the surface of the erosion shield that will be covered by
the de-ice boot.
(3) Using a clean cloth dampened with denatured alcohol, clean the erosion shield
area that will be covered by the de-ice boot.
(4) Permit the alcohol to evaporate.
(5) Apply Wash Primer (Mix #3) to the erosion shield area that will be covered be
the de-ice boot. Refer to the Finish Procedures chapter of this manual.

CAUTION: THE WASH PRIMER MUST DRY FOR A MINIMUM OF 30

MINUTES. THE WASH PRIMER "ETCHES" THE NICKEL EROSION

N. Installation of a De-ice Boot on a Composite Blade

CAUTION: THE BONDING SURFACES MUST BE THOROUGHLY COVERED WITH

ADHESIVE. TWO LAYERS OF ADHESIVE ARE REQUIRED.
(1) The E10950P(C)( ) blade design was originally manufactured with a high watt
density de-ice boot.

CAUTION: BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE AIRFRAME

COMPONENTS OF THE PROPELLER DE-ICE SYSTEM,
PROPELLERS WITH LOW WATT DENSITY DE-ICE BOOTS
ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE ON THE AIRCRAFT WITH
PROPELLERS WITH HIGH WATT DENSITY DE-ICE BOOTS.
(a) Low watt density de-ice boots are available for the E10950P(C)( ) design.
(b) Installation of the low watt density de-ice boot changes the propeller blade
model from E10950P(C)K to E10950P(C)B.
1 The model number change must be made on the ink stamping or
label on the camber side of the blade.
2 Peen out the "K" designation from the butt of the blade.
3 Change the ink stamping or label on the camber side of the blade to
reflect the de-ice boot installed on the blade.
(2) For best results, install the de-ice boot at room temperature
(65 - 75° F [18-24°C]). Drying time will vary with temperature and relative
humidity.
(3) Make sure that the pencil mark at distance "A" (refer to Table 3-6) is in line
with the leading edge of the blade. Refer to the Preparation of Blades for Boot
Installation section of this chapter for details.
(a) If the blade is installed in the hub, use the dimension, noted before the
removal of the previous de-ice boot, to locate the inboard end of the new
de-ice boot.
(4) Starting at the shank end, put the inboard end of the de-ice boot at the "A"
dimension mark while aligning the indicated centerline of the de-ice boot with
the centerline of the blade, marked on the winding.

(5) Working outward, slowly lower the outboard end of the de-ice boot to the blade
while tacking the centerline of the de-ice boot onto the crest of the leading edge
of the blade.
(a) If the de-ice boot becomes misaligned, pull up with a quick motion and
reapply the de-ice boot.
(b) If the adhesive is removed from either surface, reapply the adhesive and
permit to dry until tacky before continuing application of the de-ice boot.
(c) When using Adhesive Application, Option A or Option B: if the adhesive
becomes too dry, reactivate with a clean, lint free cloth dampened with
solvent MEK CM106, MPK CM219, toluene CM41, or acetone CM11..

CAUTION: DO NOT REACTIVATE THE ADHESIVE WHEN USING

ADHESIVE APPLICATION, OPTION C.
(d) When using Adhesive Application, Option C: toward the end of the tack
life, the adhesive may appear to be dry, but is still active and does not
require reactivation.
(6) When the centerline is correctly positioned, roll firmly along the centerline with a
rubber roller TE330 or TE331. Refer to Figure 3-11.
(7) Gradually tilt the roller and carefully work the de-ice boot over one side of blade
contour using care to avoid trapping air under the de-ice boot.
(a) Start inboard on the de-ice boot and work outboard.
(b) After one side is initially rolled into place apply the other side in the same way.

NOTE: Short repetitive strokes in a diagonal direction from an inboard position

towards the outboard trailing edge, with small advancements toward
the tip of the blade with every stroke is an effective way to eliminate
the trapping of air and the puckering of the de-ice boot material.
(8) Work out excess material at the outboard edge of the de-ice boot before the
edge is completely rolled down.
(a) If excess material at the edges tends to pucker, work out puckers smoothly
and carefully with fingers.
(b) Puckers are not permitted.

CAUTION: DO NOT PERMIT THE GOOSENECK OR SMOOTH STEEL ROLLER

TO TOUCH ANY PORTION OF THE HEATING ELEMENT BECAUSE
DAMAGE MAY RESULT. USE ONLY A RUBBER OR SILICON
ROLLER IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS A HEATING ELEMENT.
(9) Use the edge of a roller to firmly roll down the tapered edges of the de-ice boot.
(a) A roller may be used only within 0.1875 inch (4.763 mm) from any edge.
(10) Remove masking tape and permit the de-ice boot installation to dry (cure) a
minimum of 8 hours.

R. Filler Application

warning: adhesives and solvents are flammable and toxic to

the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. skin and eye
protection are required. Avoid prolonged contact
and breathing of vapors. Use solvent resistant
gloves to minimize skin contact and wear safety
glasses for eye protection. Use in a well ventilated
area away from sparks and flame. READ AND OBSERVE
ALL WARNING LABELS.

CAUTION: THE Adhesive USED TO BOND THE DE-ICE boot TO THE

BLADE must cure for a minimum of eight hours before
the application of the filler. The filler tends to
dissolve the adhesive.

(a) Filler is required on all composite blades with a tapered (thin) edge de-ice
boot installed, on a de-ice boot with a long lead strap, i.e., a lead strap
three inches or longer, on a de-ice boot with a tab, on a restrainer strap,
and on a terminal mount strap.
(b) Application of filler CM161 is highly recommended for composite blade
models NC9208K, E9193(B,K), E10950P( )K,B and E13890K.
(c) For all other de-ice boot applications, the application of filler is
recommended, but not required.
(d) Most later design de-ice boots have a tapered (thin) edge.
1 Blade model LM10585(N)B+4, although not fitted with a tapered
de-ice boot, requires the application of filler because of the folded
design of the de-ice boot.
2 Filler is recommended, but not required on a composite blade with
a non-tapered edge de-ice boot. Refer to See Table 3-3 for a list of
composite blades with non-tapered edge de-ice boots.
