Rotax 914 F Installation Manual page 10

Select and use proper aircraft instrumentation. This instrumentation is not included
with the BOMBARDIER-ROTAX engine package. Only approved instrumentation
can be installed.
Before flight, ensure all engine controls are operative. Make sure all controls can be
easily reached in case of an emergency.
Unless in a run up area, never run the engine with the propeller turning while on the
ground. Do not operate engine if bystanders are close.
To prevent unauthorized use, never leave the aircraft unattended with the engine
running.
Keep an engine log 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. Since special tools and equipment may be required, engine servicing
should only be performed by an authorized BOMBARDIER-ROTAX engine dealer
or a qualified trained mechanic approved by the local airworthiness authority.
To eliminate possible injury or damage, ensure that any loose equipment or tools are
properly secured before starting the engine.
When in storage protect the engine and fuel system from contamination and
exposure.
Certain areas, altitudes and conditions present greater risk than others. The engine
may require carburetor recalibration or humidity or dust/sand preventative equip-
ment, or additional maintenance may be required. Consult your aircraft dealer or
manufacturer and obtain the necessary information, especially before flying in new
areas.
Never operate the engine and gearbox without sufficient quantities of lubricating oil.
Periodically verify level of coolant.
Never exceed maximum rated r.p.m. and allow the engine to cool at idle for several
minutes before turning off the engine.
Operating the engine at high speed at low throttle position, for example during
descent, may increase engine and exhaust temperatures and cause critical over-
heating. Always compensate and match r.p.m. with throttle position.
The engine should only be installed and placed into operation by persons familiar
with the use of the engine and informed with regard to possible hazards.
Never run the engine without a propeller as this will inevitably cause engine damage
and present a hazard of explosion.
Propeller and its attachment with a moment of inertia in excess of the specified value
must not be used and releases engine manufacturer from any liability.
Improper engine installation and use of unsuitable piping for fuel,- cooling,- and
lubrication system releases engine manufacturer from any liability.
Unauthorized modifications of engine or aircraft will automatically exclude any
liability of the manufacturer for sequential damage.
