Dit is wat Maxprop zelf zegt in de handleiding:
"Propeller use The Max-prop works automatically.
By putting the engine in gear the blades will engage in
either forward or reverse. The best way to feather the propeller is:
• Power at 2 to 3 knots in forward.
• Kill the engine while still engaged in forward.
• When the engine has stopped, if the shaft is still spinning engage the transmission in rever
se to stop the freewheeling.
You can check to see if the propeller is feathered or not by taking the engine out of gear. If the propeller is not feathered the shaft will freewheel like with a fixed blade propeller. In that case start the engine again and repeat the three steps. If your propeller has been greased
properly it will feather in a fraction of a second as soon as you stop the shaft from freewheeling. Once the prop is feathered, you can either leave the transmission in
gear or out of gear, it does not matter. "

"DO NOT kill the engine while in reverse. In this case the blades will be in the reverse position and will not feather. You can actually use this feature to drive a shaft alternator."
