TM 1-1500-204-23-5force of the blades. In this case, the plug B is removedand installed in passage C of the governor. This permitsgovernor oil pressure to be directed to the rear of thecylinder, to decrease pitch. Oil pressure is directed to theforward side of the cylinder to increase pitch. See figure2-10.b. Installation. The following general proceduresare for governor installation:(1) Remove all portions of old gasket frommount base.(2) Remove nicks and burrs on governor baseand mounting pad with a fine stone, Federal SpecificationSS-S-736, prior to installation.(3) Install a new gasket every time a governoris installed.(4) Torque mount nuts in accordance withapplicable aircraft maintenance manual.(5) Retorque mount nuts after the first 15minutes engine runup.c. Rigging. The following general procedures arefor rigging the propeller governor. Refer to the applicablemaintenance manual for specific instructions.NOTEEngine operation shall be performed byauthorized personnel only.(1) Start engine.(2) Perform engine run-up check With PROPlever in the full forward position, adjust power lever untilpropeller rpm stabilizes at high rpm.(3) Next, retard PROP lever to the minimumrpm position.NOTEAdjust governor when rpm settings are notmet as specified by the applicablemaintenance manual.d. OperationChecks. At the time of propellergovernor, or engine installation, the followingsteps are normally taken to ensure that thepower plant will obtain takeoff rpm:(1) During ground runup, move the throttle totakeoff position and note the resultant rpm and manifoldpressure.(2) If the rpm obtained is higher or lower thanthe takeoff rpm prescribed in the instructions of themanufacturer, reset the adjustable stop, as shown infigure 2-11, on the governor until the prescribed rpm isobtained.2-15. Propeller Icing.Ice formation on a propellerblade, in effect produces a distorted blade airfoil sectionwhich causes a loss in propeller efficiency. Generally, icecollects unsymmetrically on a propeller blade andproduces propeller unbalance and destructive vibration.Icing types, anti-icing, and deicing are explained in thefollowing paragraphs.a. IcingTypes. The types of icing are glaze orclear, rime, and glime or mixed. Each type is describedin the following paragraphs.(1) Glaze ice. Glaze (or clear) ice is hard,glossy, and heavy. This type of ice forms when, afterinitial impact, the remaining liquid portion of the raindropflows out over the surface freezing as a smooth sheet ofsolid ice.(2) Rime ice. Rime ice has an irregular shapeand rough surface. It is brittle and frost-like and lighterthan glaze ice. Rime ice forms when raindrops are small.The liquid portion remaining after initial impact freezesrapidly before the drop has time to spread. The smallfrozen droplets trap air between them giving the ice awhite, frosty appearance.(3) Glime ice. Glime (or mixed) ice is amixture of glaze and rime ice. Glime ice is a hard, roughmixture which can form rapidly. Glime ice forms whenraindrops vary in size or when liquid drops are mixed withsnow or ice particles.b. Anti-lcing. Propeller anti-icing is normallyaccomplished by spraying anti-icing fluid over the leadingedge of the propeller. The fluid is pumped from the fluidtank through small tubes that open just outside thepropeller hub as shown in figure 2-12. The centrifugalforce of the spinning propeller spreads the fluid over theleading edge of the blades.Change 2 2-17
