Thanks. Needed to buy a wrench set for £30 to get prop off, and now see that shear pin is broken and back of propeller is damaged so need to buy a new one for £100. However still better than sending off to service centre. Thanks again! 🙂

Hi, the prop on my 1003 seemed not tighten enough. but when I use a wrench and hold the prop, it is the axis that turn... am i doing something wrong ? thanx

My propeller is completely attached to screw. I took nut off and it just spins with propeller. Should I wack it with a mallet?

[@TORQEEDOGmbH]

Hello EncountersUSA! It sounds like your propeller is stuck on the shaft. Before attempting to use a mallet or hammer, I'd recommend trying the following steps:
1.Check for any visible obstructions or debris that might be holding the propeller in place.
2.Try gently wiggling the propeller by hand to loosen any blockages.
3. If you decide to use a mallet or soft hammer, do so with caution. A forceful hit could damage the propeller or the shaft.
4. If that doesn't work, consider using a lubricant or rust remover.
If you continue to face issues, we advise reaching out to our customer service. You can contact them at: T [phone] / [e-mail]. Safety first!

I see no mention of an anode. Where would I see that?

[@tqfield-service]

Hello,
anodes are mentioned in the manual and are simply screwed onto the shaft,

Do you need to use a new nylock nut?

[@TORQEEDOGmbH]

Hi mrwrapper, in the ideal case it is the best to use a new nut, but is not absolutely necessary.
Due to the fact it is a self-locking nut, it loses its "securing effect" with repeated use.

my propeller won't come out! help!

@@TORQEEDOGmbH hello, the shearing pin got twisted around inside the propeller when I hit a rock and one of the propellers fell off. We had to cut the propeller off with a saw and then pry it out piece by piece.
