Installation Manual HKS 700E WARNING! This is a non-certified aircraft engine; the possibility of engine failure exists at all times. Do not operate this engine over densely populated areas. Do not operate this engine over terrain where a safe, power off landing cannot be performed.
HKS 700E 1. INTRODUCTION The HKS 700E engine has been specifically developed for use in Ultra light type and homebuilt aircraft. All flights must be made according to the aviation and airworthiness regulations of your specific country. The HKS 700E is not intended for use in certified aircraft,(airplanes or motor gliders).
Installation Manual HKS 700E 3. MOUNTING THE ENGINE The HKS 700E must be mounted horizontal to the aircraft (propeller shaft and cylinder heads horizontal). The engine will not run in an inverted (engine upside down) or vertical installation. 3.1 Attaching the engine to the engine mount •...

4.1 Preparing the exhaust manifolds Proceed to 4.2 if using an HKS supplied exhaust manifold. • To create a custom exhaust manifold, refer to the engine and muffler layout in FIG. 3 for a basic reference.
Installation Manual HKS 700E 5. LUBRICATION SYSTEM 5.1 Installing the dry sump oil tank Please pay attention to the following for the oil tank installation (Refer to Fig.4). • The oil tank cap must be between 50mm. (2in.) above and 200mm.
Installation Manual HKS 700E 5.3 Installing the oil lines Follow Fig.4 for oil line connections. • Cut the hose to appropriate length so that there are no tight bends (where the hose might kink and restrict the flow of oil). Use elbow fittings when changing hose direction.

HKS 700E 8. ENGINE INSTRUMENTS In order to run the engine properly, the following instruments are required to monitor the HKS 700E operating conditions. (1) Engine tachometer Following two lines are usable for sensing the revolution. * The trigger line between the CDI unit and the ignition coil. (1 pulse/rev) Install the genuine tachometer (83380-005100) at this line.
