3) Introduction
We are pleased you decided for a ROTAX
®
aircraft engine.
Before carrying out maintenance work on the engine, carefully read the Maintenance Manual.
It provides you basic information on safe operation of the engine.
If any passages of the Manual are not understood or in case of any questions, please, contact
an authorized Distribution- or Service Partner for ROTAX
®
aircraft engines.
3.1) Remarks
This Maintenance Manual is to acquaint maintenance service staff approved by the
local aviation authorities with some basic maintenance and safety information for
service works.
For competent maintenance and servicing, please, refer to the documentation pro-
vided in the Operator's Manual, Installation Instructions and Spare Parts List.
For additional engine-, maintenance- and parts information you may also contact the
nearest ROTAX
®
aircraft engine distribution partner.
3.2) Engine serial number
On all enquiries or spare parts orders, always indicate the engine serial number, as the
manufacturer makes modifications to the engine for further development. The engine
serial number is on the top of the crankcase, magneto side (see Pic. 005).

ing and application of the information will promote correct use.
