2.3) Permissible position and location of the oil tank
Position and lo-
cation
See Fig. 11.
- The longitudinal axis z3 must be parallel to z-axis of the system of coor-
dinates.
Permissible deviation from parallel: ±10°
NOTE: This applies to both planes..
- The oil tank (1) must be positioned on its z-axis such that the normal oil
level (2) is always between 0 and -400 mm (-15.75 in) on the y-axis.
NOTE: If the profile clamp of the oil tank is 360 mm (14.17 in.) be-
low the propeller shaft, then the oil in the oil tank is at the
same level as the oil pump. This is the ideal position for the
oil tank.
- Install the oil tank free of vibrations and not directly to the engine.
- Oil tank cover (3) and oil drain screw (4) must be easily accessible.
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!
If the oil tank is located higher, oil might trickle through
bearing clearances into the crankcase during longer
periods of engine stop. If fitted too low it might damage
the oil circuit.
