NOTE: The oil tank cover is not pressure-tight, some air can es-
cape.
The pressure in the oil tank has to be maintained during the following
steps.
The oil tank may empty and as a result introduce air
into the oil system. Pay attention to the oil level and fill
tank as required.
Do not use the starter for this purpose. Fit propeller
and use it to turn the engine.
7 Turn the engine by hand in direction of normal rotation until the first pres-
sure indication appears on the oil pressure gauge. Normally this will take
approx. 20 turns. Depending on installation it may take up to 60 turns.
8 Stop the pressurisation.
9 Open the cap (5) for the oil return line on the oil tank and reconnect the en-
gine oil return line (2) to the tank.
Ensure that the suction oil line (1) and oil return lines (2)
are connected to the proper fittings on the oil tank. If the
oil lines from the engine to the oil tank are incorrectly
connected, severe engine damage may result.
10 Refit the spark plug. Restore aircraft to original operating condition.
11 Residual oil may have accumulated in the crankcase. Return it to the oil
tank by following the oil level check procedure in the relevant Operators
Manual.
12 Fill the oil in the tank up to the full mark on the dipstick.
Carefully check all lubrication system connections,
lines and clamps for leaks and tightness.
Protect their environment. Observe to bury no oil!
Dispose of oil in an environmentally friendly manner.
