  yep.!  loosen the nut with a big crescent wrench..  Then turn 

the screw with a suitable round bar or screw driver for the desired 

effect..I never try to remember the correct way...Easiest  is to 

record your current static max rpm's and then adjust the prop for 

effect...  I set my three blade on the 447 powered pup for 6200 static..



   I simply tighten the nut as I please and then install a tie wrap 

through the hole to avoid loosing the nut should it come loose..



    I think it is a mistake to run an ivo prop in its neutral 

position with no tension either pos or neg on the tension rods...My 

thought is that it allows the tension cams to hammer back and forth 

in the slot in the adjusting screw... maybe causing the occasional 

tension rod break through..? Certainly has to contribute to the 

flattening of the cams...Herb

How do I adjust the pitch on my 3 blade Ivo prop? Do I loosen the 

center nut and turn the center shaft right for more and left for less pitch?



Is there a certain torque setting for the nut? What size socket is needed?

Thanks Herb.

Jack I did look at Ivo's website before posting however it did not tell how to adjust the prop. It explained how it works but not how to do it.

Grant,



The way I remember the direction to turn the center shaft is relating it to 

a vernier throttle, common on Cessna.  Turning it to the right produces more 

RPM.

Jack,



I just asked the question hear because i was sure that some of the members have had experience with IVO props and could give me an answer quicker than emailing IVO.

Hi Grant.

  

 Jim Here.

  

 facing the prop turning the adjuster to the left increases the pitch, If I  remember correctly the jam nut is 1 5/16 or 1 1/2 it's been a while since I have  adjusted mine.
