  • Page 47 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0044 Assembly methods Special setup instructions Only minimally lubricate the bendix with light oil; excess grease or oil may cause the unit to jam. Loctite 243 for all fastenings in the system. Check for correct pneumatic function after assembly (see test in service sheets). Note that the pre rotator head cylinder must drive the bendix upwards before full engagement at the propeller drive.
  • Page 48 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0044 The bolt holding the base vertical UJ to the gearbox has a short screw, and reduced thread engagement in the nylock nut. This is to prevent contact with the seat belt, and the nut must be loctited (243) during assembly.
