Manual Feathering before Acceleration Altitude (TURBO-PROPS)

Just a reference required;

If in a turbo-prop an engine fails at takeoff and the auto feather function doesnt feather the prop, this will for sure increase drag and if its high elevation, high temperature and high pressure altitude with max takeoff weight then its improbable to achieve the required amount of climb gradient and the aircraft controllabilty is also effected adversely.
logically with proper identification the prop can be feathered..
I just need your help to locate any such 'manual feathering procedures before acceleration altitude' on whatever type, that are being used in any company and are approved by relevant civil aviation authority (FAA,CAA or T.Canada etc)
thanks
