The information contained in the Maintenance Manual is based on data and
experience and is considered to be applicable for a professional technician under

conditions of the buyer and assumes no responsibility for sustaining effect of the

We point to the fact that spare parts and accessories not supplied as genuine
ROTAX parts are not tested and therefore not released by ROTAX. Installation and/

properties of the engine. For damages due to use of non-genuine parts and
accessories ROTAX refuses any liability.
Unauthorized modifications and use of components or accessories not corre-
sponding with the installation instructions exclude any liability of the manufacturer.
The engine is accurately tested before delivery, this however does not exclude
hazards in case of incompetent handling.
Before taking the engine into operation, make yourself acquainted with the respec-
tive controls and their function. Searching during operation is too late! In case of
vibrations or unusual noise, stop the engine and remedy the cause.
