    Indications of wear or damage may include, but are not limited to, corrosive buildup on terminals, melted, loose or broken insulation or disconnected or exposed wires. Ensure that spark plug cables are secured correctly and not loose on the plug. Release of the plug connector can be the reason for burnt or melted cables and improper operation of the engine.

  • Page 66: Refrigerating Liquid

    Fouled or discolored plugs may indicate other engine anomalies such as loose valves, incorrect mixture setting, fouled air filter or incorrect engine operating temperatures. The correct spark plug color should be a light brown. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s handbook for further information. Spark plugs should be replaced every 200 hours or when damage or wear is evident during normal inspections.

  • Page 67: Service Life, Revision And Engine Revisions

    ATTENTION! Do not open the tap of the refrigerating liquid tank in hot state. You can get burnt easily. While letting out the refrigerating liquid it is necessary to open the tap of the tank and screw out the low tightening screw / with the impermeable ring / of the water pump. Then it is necessary to release the low pipe of the cooler of the refrigerating liquid / which is located lower than the engine to let the old refrigerating liquid leak out, after letting it out, put the pipe back on the cooler and tighten the buckle carefully.

  • Page 68: Service Life Of Rubber Parts Of Engine

    Some maintenance tasks to be undertaken at the 100 and 200 hourly maintenance periods may only be undertaken by an authorized technician. We recommend that this servicing be undertaken by the engine manufacturer or his nominated representative. ATTENTION! Engine warranty is subject to the strict adherence to maintenance schedules and operating procedures as prescribed in the engine operations manual and aircraft flight manual.
