Meant to add, the pressurized oil that moves the pitch change piston comes from an engine driven pump; no engine rotation, no drive for the pitch change pump, doesn't matter what you do with the prop levers, blades will not change pitch.
Don't confuse this with an emergency electrical feathering pump; that supplies oil pressure to coarsen the blades to feather only.
