NOTE 1. Hub Model Designation
Hub model designation

Denotes minor change not affecting eligibility
"C" denotes C-157 hub spider and associated parts
"L" denotes left-hand rotation
Denotes specific design features (see NOTE 4)
SAE #20 spline
Hartzell Blade shank size
Number of blades
Identifies basic design
Hartzell controllable
Type -1, -2, -4, -5, and -6 hubs can be used only on installations with powerplant oil pressure of 50 p.s.i. or
above.
A -10 following the hub serial number identifies that oversize tubes are pressed into the spider in order to
accommodate worn blade bushings.

NOTE 2. Blade Model Designation
Blade model designation
L 84 27 C H R - 4
+ Number of inches added to basic diameter
- Number of inches cut off from basic diameter
Denotes that an 8428+2 plastic blade has been
reworked to 84" diameter.
Used in an aluminum blade model designation
denotes hard alloy.
Dimensional modification from original design.
(For plastic blades, "C" denotes substitute plastic.)
Basic model or template
Basic diameter in inches
Denotes left-hand blade
Diameter limits shown are nominal diameters of the assembled propeller and do not include the +1/4 inch
to -1/8 inch manufacturing tolerance permissible.
NOTE 3. Pitch Control. Eligible with Hartzell manual or constant speed control. Constant speed control includes
the Hartzell governor Model A-1. Additional weight of governor is 3.75 lb.
(NOTE: Some installations require a T-drive adapter for the governor. Additional weight of the
Hartzell Model C-137 adapter is 2.5 lb., and of the Hartzell Model C-253 adapter is 2.7 lb.).
NOTE 4. (a) Feathering. The -9 model incorporates a snap action feathering feature, and cannot be
unfeathered in flight.
(b) Reversing. The -2, -3, and -5S models incorporate hydraulically controlled reversing.
NOTE 5. Left-Hand Models. The left-hand version of an approved model propeller is eligible at the same rating
and diameter as listed for the right-hand model. (See NOTES 1 and 2.)
NOTE 6. Interchangeability.
(a) Blades. Only blades listed in the same group of the following listed groups are sufficiently
similar aerodynamically and vibrationwise to permit interchangeability in the same diameter
without a flight test provided all blades in the propeller are the same model.
Group (1) 8428, 8428C
Group (2) 8428R, 8428CR
Group (3) 8433, 8433Z, 8433A
Blades 8428R and 8428CR have been balanced against master blades at the factory; therefore,
when one 8428R or 8428CR blade is used in an assembly, the assembly must balance statically
without the use of more than 8 balancing slugs (Hartzell Part NO. A-48) attached to either blade
clamp. Hard and soft alloy aluminum blades of the same model designation are interchangeable
but only on seaplanes and amphibious aircraft.
(b) Propellers. Only propellers listed in this data sheet may be replaced by corresponding propellers
listed in Type Certificate Data Sheet No. P-917, provided the propeller model designations are the
same except that the identifying basic design digit "1" (see NOTE 1) is replaced by the letter "D".
P-845 4
NOTE 7. Accessories.
(a) Propeller de-icing
(1) Aluminum alloy blades eligible with Goodrich "Icex" shoes, when applied in accordance
with Goodrich instructions. Hartzell recommends that the maximum length be limited to
.7 x blade radius, measured from center of hub.
(b) Propeller spinners.
(1) Eligible with Hartzell Model D-164 spinner. Additional weight 3 lb. The -9 model includes a
spinner.
NOTE 8. Not applicable.
