— 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.
— Keep an engine log and enter any unusual engine behaviour. Do not fly
unless you have corrected a given problem and recorded the correction in
the log.
— Since special tools and equipment may be required, engine servicing
should only be performed by an authorized ROTAX engine dealer or a
qualified trained mechanic approved by the local airworthiness authority.
— To eliminate possible injury or damage, ensure any loose equipment or
tools are properly secured before starting the engine.
— Never leave your aircraft or other vehicle unattended while the engine is
running. If operated by someone else you could be sued even if the use
was unauthorized by you.
— 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 equipment, 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 at 582 UL and 582 UL mod. 99.
— Never exceed maximum rated r.p.m.
Allow the engine to cool at idle for several minutes before turning off the
engine.
— Maintain your engine in top condition and assume it's going to quit running
at any time. Leave yourself a way out in the event of unexpected failure.
— Never mix fuel in an enclosed area, or where fumes could reach an ignition
point.
— Make sure all engine controls are operative, that you know ON and OFF
positions of throttle and ignition, that they are easily accessible, and that
you can operate them instinctively without hesitation.
