11) Maintenance
In this chapter the maintenance of engine 914 F is described. The description is subdivided
into sections and description of function of the various systems. Some overlapping mainte-
nance instructions are treated as generally valid information at the beginning of this chapter.
The information given in the Maintenance Manual is based on data and experience which are
considered to be applicable for a skilled mechanic under normal working conditions. The
guidelines given in the Maintenance Manual are useful and necessary supplements to
training. They, however, cannot substitute competent theoretical and practical personal
instruction.
Maintenance of engines and systems requires special knowledge and special tools. See also
Chapter 11.3) to 11.7).
We particularly emphasize that parts and accessories not supplied as genuine ROTAX parts
are not verified for suitability by ROTAX and thus are not released for use. Installation and/
or use of such products may possibly change or negatively influence the constructive
characteristics of the engine. For damages resulting from use of non-genuine parts and
accessories ROTAX refuses any liability.
Non-authorized modifications as well as the use of components and auxiliary components
not corresponding to the installation instructions exclude any liability of the engine manufac-
turer.
Besides our instructions in the documentation supplied, also respect the generally valid
safety and accident preventive directives and legal regulations.
11.1) General proceeding instructions
When carrying out maintenance and service work, respect without fail the safety
regulations. At maintenance of cooling-, lubricating and fuel system take care without
fail that no contamination, metal chips, foreign material and/or dirt enters the system.
Use only mallet (plastic or rubber) for dis- and re-assembly of parts of the engine.
Never loosen or tighten screws and nuts with pliers but only with the specified tools.
Before every re-assembly check assembled components whether parts are missing.
Only use the gluing-, lubricating and cleaning agents and solvents indicated in the
maintenance instructions. If not respected, damage may be the consequence.
Exactly observe the tightening torques for screws and nuts. Overstretching or too loose
tightening may cause severe engine damage.
Before re-using parts disassembled, clean, check and refit them per instructions.
11.2) Trouble shooting
In the Operator's Manual there is a list of possible failures as well as indication of
possible remedy.
See Chapter 12) in the Operator's Manual for engine type 914 F.
