• Select and use proper aircraft instrumentation. This instru-
mentation is not included in the ROTAX® engine package.
Only approved instrumentation may be installed.
• Keep an engine log book and respect engine and aircraft
maintenance schedules. Keep the engine in top operating
condition at all times. Do not operate any aircraft which is not
properly maintained or has engine operating irregularities
which have not been corrected.
• Keep an engine log and enter any unusual engine behavior.
Do not fly unless you have corrected a given problem and re-
corded the correction in the log.
• Since special training, tools and equipment are required, en-
gine servicing shall only be performed by an authorized RO-
TAX® aircraft engine distributor or their independent Service
Center. BRP-Rotax requires that any service or maintenance
work be carried out and verified by a technician that has a
current iRMT rating.
• Check for fuel contamination, air cleaners, etc. Protect en-
gine while not in use from any contamination entering fuel or
carburetors system, but be sure to remove storage protection
before starting engine.
• When the engine will not be operated for a longer period pro-
tect the engine and fuel system from contamination and envi-
ronmental exposure.
• Periodically verify level of coolant.
• Check engine suspension frequently as well as the drive
components, fuel lines, wiring, and fuel and air filters.
• Make sure all engine controls are operative, that you know
ON and OFF positions of throttle and ignition, that they are
easily accessible, and that you can operate them instinctively
without hesitation.
• Before flight, ensure that all engine controls are operative.
Make sure all controls can be easily reached in case of an
emergency.
• Never operate the engine without sufficient quantities of oper-
ating fluids (oil, coolant, fuel).
• Never exceed the maximum permitted operational limits.
• In the interest of safety, the aircraft must not be left unat-
tended while the engine is running.
