I see my brief ad to sell my RV-10 shows up in today's posting and
digest, BUT the 4 photos do not. They were attached to the original
email, AND sent to the photo list with request that they be posted with
the email ad.
Did I misread your directions, or not follow them correctly? Any
help would be appreciated.

I've just started my conditional and was reading the maintenance procedures for
the Hartzell prop. It cautions you not to over lubricate.
My naive question, is how can you tell when you have the proper amount of lubricant?
Is it when it starts oozing out the other fitting?
Thanks,
Bob

Yes, put I usually pump out some old the dirty grease while I'm at it. I
think over lubricate would apply if you did not remove the bottom zerk and
pumped up the prop. I cant see over lubricating a prop that has room to ooze
out.

Bob,
I always remove the fitting on the leading edge and pump from the trailing edge
until i see movement of grease at the open hole. I then put the plug back in
and do the other blade. Some say just 2 pumps per fitting, but I don't know if
that is without removing the fittings or with them out.

Hey Phil,
Your pictures came through on my email for the RV10 list ... not quite big
enough files to blow up for detail, but enough to see what you've got.
It's always sad to hear that a builder is selling for unfortunate
circumstances.
I wish you well on your journey, - Lew

Award for most accurate response. Believe it or not you can over
lubricate even with a zerk removed. If any of the old grease has
thickened/hardened, it will restrict grease coming out the zerk hole. I
generally limit to 4 strokes on hand grease gun or start of grease
coming out removed zerk hole.
Also, use precisely whatever grease the label on the prop calls for,
whether that is Aeroshell 6, 22 or some other flavor. Unlike oils,
greases do use different thickening agents, and they are not all
compatible. Do not worry about not having enough grease...there is
plenty in the hub, unless you see it slinging out the seals at the blade
roots.

You don't know that you haven't delivered an excess. You do NOT need the
cavity full. The prop really only needs 1-2 pumps of grease per blade.
The extra pumps are for those that may have substandard grease gun, to
give you a safe range without excess.
Excess will cause grease to get past the blade seals and may cause them
to fail. Based on both Hartzell rep and pubs, and prop overhaul shop.

I think that's the question I was getting at. Until it oozes out the othe
r side, you really have no idea the true quantity of grease in the hub.
It does make sense that you can't over fill with the other fitting off, but t
hen the warning seems a little silly.

One important tip is to make sure you clean out the exit hole per
Hartzell=99s instructions, piece of safety wire works well. I
didn=99t do this at first but after pumping some grease in I
cleaned it out better and once the dried bit got out of the way some
came out under pressure. As long as you limit the number of pumps
it=99s probably not a huge deal, but if you are looking to see
some exit then it=99s critical otherwise you=99ll pump too
much in and it will find a way out in places you don=99t want it
to.

I with Linn- unless I can see grease, I would have no idea how much
grease is actually in the hub. I get it, after this thread, that 6 pumps
may be enough grease for the what Hartzell requires, but I prefer to
know there is grease coming out and that I am not short on grease (aka-
I thought I pumped it 6 times but the amount of grease that came out was
minimal for those pumps)
to answer your question Rob- every annual. What I find interesting is
that although I fill the hub, every year I seem to need 6 or more pumps
to get the grease to show, which tells me I use more grease each year
than I re-pump, hence my going until I see grease come out and
sometimes, as mentioned before, when its really dirty, until I see
cleaner grease.
3 years with no leaks, so I am happy knowing I have grease in the hub
and that it cleaner each year, than just 6 pumps.

When are people seeing grease coming out the other side? I've done 3
annuals now, doing 6 pumps per blade each time, and I haven't seen any
come out the other side yet.

It does make sense that you can't over fill with the other fitting
off, but then the warning seems a little silly.

I've just started my conditional and was reading the
maintenance procedures for the Hartzell prop. It cautions you not to
over lubricate.
My naive question, is how can you tell when you have the
proper amount of lubricant? Is it when it starts oozing out the other
fitting?
Thanks,

The manual for greasing the hub does not make a whole lot of sense IMHO. If the
hub is not leaking grease, as it should not do, it will eventually fill with
grease and after a few times servicing the hub will fill up and ooze out the the
removed zerk fitting hole. I pumped until I could observe movement of grease
inside the open zerk hole. Maybe I am wrong but I THINK the hub will eventually
fill up eventually?

I just finished my annual and the prop hub took exactly 4 pumps
Aeroshell 6 each zerk until grease started to poke out the opposite
zerk.
Just doing what the manual says. No problems in 375 hours.

I finally got a photo of my wing root edge guard product. As I mentioned earlier,
no trimming of the wing root material was required. It is still looking fine
at nearly seven years.
No comments about the dirty airplane! [Embarassed]
