WARNING
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or
death!
Carb icing is a common reason for engine trouble. No
implements are included in the supply volume for
preheating of the intake air.
If an airbox of not ROTAX origin is used provisions for
preheating the intake air have to be made to prevent
formation of ice in the intake system.
Preheating of the intake air will result in performance
loss because of the lower air density.
