BRP-RotaxMAINTENANCE MANUAL

DEFINITION OF TERMSOPERATING HOURSDefinition All of the maintenance intervals, such as the 100 hr. inspection and the engine TBO, relate

to the number of operating hours of the engine.The operating hours are defined as follows in order to prevent misunderstandings and toensure safety:

• All time during which the engine is running is counted towards the total number of oper-ating hours.

• The time is counted irrespective of the load factor of the engine, such as idling or take-off power.

NNOOTTEE

A mechanical hour meter is directly coupled to the engine speed, the readingsmay deviate considerably from those given by electronic remitters (e.g. FlyDat).Maintenance and overhaul intervals are always dictated by the readings of theelectronic hour meter.

• The planned inspections to be performed at certain intervals are based on experiencefrom long test runs and field observations. They are intended as precautionary mainte-nance measures in order to ensure continued trouble-free operation of the engine.

TIME LIMITDefinition Time limits are predetermined time spans and intervals which are based either on calen-

dar intervals or the number of engine operating hours. Once the time limits have beenreached, the affected parts must either be replaced for a general overhaul, or mainte-nance work must be performed. These precautionary maintenance measures are de-signed to avoid engine malfunctions or defects and ensure continued airworthiness of theengine.

LIFE CYCLEDefinition The life cycle is always specified as an exact time span and is also quoted in flight hours.

NNOOTTEE

Parts with a limited life cycle must be taken out of operation and overhauled if thespecified time span or number of flight hours is reached (whichever comes first).

GENERAL OVERHAUL (TBO)Definition The time between overhauls (TBO) for all objects (such as the engine, component assem-

blies, add-on components) is the approved length of operation under normal operatingconditions before it becomes mandatory to send in these objects for an overhaul.Normal operating conditions are the conditions which comply with the manufacturer's andthe aviation authority’s recommendations for the certification of airworthiness.

Introduction The owner and/or user is primarily responsible for the maintenance and airworthiness ofthe engine. This includes compliance with all applicable airworthiness directives.

This inspection protocol is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such protocol canreplace the knowledge and experience of a certified aircraft mechanic. As the partyprimarily responsible for the maintenance and airworthiness of the engine, the owner oruser should only have the maintenance work carried out by qualified engineers(corresponding to the iRMT levels).

Documentationrequired

It is the responsibility of the owner and/or user to make sure that the aircraft mechanicperforming the work on the engine has access to the previous Inspection Protocols andany other required documents.

BRP-RotaxMAINTENANCE MANUAL

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKSDefinition This section lists the periodic inspections which must be carried out after a specified peri-

ods of operation.

Intervals Periodic inspections are those which must be performed at 12.5, 100, 150 hr. intervals inaccordance with Chapter 05-20-00 section Maintenance Schedule.This means for example that. every 100 hr of operation a 100 hr. check must be carriedout. Every 200 hr. of operation a 100 hr. and the additional checks for 200 hr. must be car-ried out.

• For the intervals between maintenance work, a tolerance of ±10 hr. is permissible, butthese tolerances must not be exceeded. This means that if a 100 hr. check is actuallycarried out at 110 hr., the next check will be due at 200 hr. ±10 hr. and not at 210 hr. ±10hr.

• If maintenance is performed before the prescribed interval, the next maintenance checkis to be done at the same interval (e.g. if first 100 hr. check is done after 87 hours of op-eration, the next 100 hr. check must be carried out after 187 hours of operation).

• If engine has less than 100 hours of operation during one year a 100 hr. check must becarried out. For the annual inspection a tolerance of ±2 months is given.

Checks • In order to demonstrate continued airworthiness, an engine must be inspected after thefirst mentioned hours of operation.

UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKSOperating limitsexceeded

An inspection of the engine must be performed if the operating limits of the engine havebeen exceeded (e.g. overspeed, excessive temperature etc.), or if unusual operating con-ditions have occurred during operation (e.g. lightning strike). In such cases the enginemust be inspected in accordance with the applicable unscheduled maintenance checks.

Recommendsinspections

The manufacturer also recommends the following inspections whenever maintenance iscarried out (where not already prescribed by the airframe manufacturer) as possible mal-functions could have negative effects on engine operation.

part inspection possible danger

Exhaust fixation• Re-tighten the exhaust fixationon the cylinder head after thefirst 2 hr. of operation

Leakage

Exhaust• Of the exhaust unit (where nec-essary, replaced application ofMolykote G-N)

Risk of fracture, wear.Rough engine running.

Fuel filter• Of fuel filter on airframe side (forforeign bodies, sealing materialand loose fragmented material)

Engine may misfire.Power loss. Engine run-ning too lean (Enginemalfunction anddamage).

• fuel system • start system

• cylinder unit

In most cases an overhaul is necessary, in this regard send the engine without delay to anauthorized ROTAX® overhaul facility for inspection.

If an engine was submerged into water, all electrical components(e. g.: ignition coils, spark plugs, spark plug connectors must be replaced.

NNOOTTEE

Discoloration or corrosion are signs of submerging in water.

INSPECTION IN EXTREME CLIMATIC CONDITIONSGeneral note

ATTENTION

Every 25 hr. checks of air filter, coolant radiator and oil cooler are necessary.

Flying in deserts or areas with heavily contaminated or dusty air causes increased wearon all components. For this reason, shorter maintenance intervals are recommended.

Flying in areas with extreme climatic conditions or in extreme altitudes requires adjust-ment of the cooling system. To do this, it is necessary to contact the aircraft manufacturerand an authorized ROTAX® aircraft engines distributor.

RETURNING ENGINE TO SERVICE AFTER INFLUENCE BY FIREGeneral note An engine after influence by fire must be inspected, repaired or overhauled in accordance

with the BRP-Rotax instructions for continued airworthiness.

Inspection • Inspect all systems for correct functioning.

SPARK PLUGSCHECK AND CLEAN INSIDE OF SPARK PLUG CONNECTORSInstruction Step Procedure

1 Inspect spark plug connector for cracks, burn-off, dampness and fouling.Check connection with ignition cable and fitting of rain protection cover.

2 The resistance value of the standard plug connector is 4.5 – 5.5 kΩ.

Mod. 99 only For various applications radio interference suppression plug connectors must be used ac-cording to respective regulations. These are more prone to troubles than the standard re-sistor type connector, due to the metal shielding.Resistance of these connectors is 0.8 – 1.2 kΩ.

Never pull off spark plug connector on a running engine.Clean contact surfaces in the spark plug connectors as required.

Mod. 99 only

ATTENTION

On engine installation with spark plugs down, it is highly recommended to addi-tionally secure spark plug caps.

INSPECTION OF SPARK PLUGSSpark plugs for mod. 99:

Visual check Inspect all spark plugs for mechanical damage.

Due to varying fuel properties etc., check according to maintenance schedule. Replace asrequired or annually: Provided that spark plug heat range and the carburetor calibrationare correct, the spark plugs will have a brownish tinge at the electrodes of both spark

plugs after full load operation. In numerous tests the best possible heat range has beendetermined to make sure that the spark plug will burn off deposits but will not overheat.

On engines with single carburetor, one sooty spark plug usually indicates a bad plug orfault ignition system. If both plugs are sooty with oil deposits, carburetor and air systemshould be checked. On engines with two carburetors you should switch the carburetor totrace the problem.

Spark plugs for mod. 17:Due to the curved gap between the center electrode and the ground electrodes, it is sug-gested to use a wire type feeler gauge for accurate gap measurement.

All versions:

ATTENTION

Do not induce forces to the center electrode of the spark plug. These might dam-age the spark plug.

Electrode gap NNOOTTEE

Spark plugs are already gapped upon delivery. No adjustment of the gap is neces-sary nor allowed.If gap measurement is over permissible limit, the spark plug must be replaced.

Electrode gap

Mod. 99 0.4 - 0.5 mm (0.016 - 0.020 in.), wear limit:0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

Mod. 17 0.8 - 0.9 mm (0.031 - 0.035 in.), wear limit:1.1 mm (0.043 in.)

BRP-RotaxMAINTENANCE MANUAL

Tips • If both plugs have "white" electrodes with "melt" droplets, first suspect lean mixture. Ifcalibration is correct and there is no evidence of manifold leaks, lack of fuel, or incorrectfloat settings, don't change the plugs to a colder range. Check if cooling system is oper-ating correctly.

• Heavy oil deposits on the electrodes and insulator may cause engine problems, ex-change regularly according to maintenance schedule, or at any indications of trouble.

• If after cleaning or changing the spark plugs, you still have an ignition problem, check ifonly one cylinder is affected or both. Some thought to what is common to both systemsor only one will isolate the problem more efficiently. If no external fault is found, the igni-tion unit must be checked.

FUEL FILTERCHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF FUEL FILTERGeneral The flow through the filter may be restricted due to the long term build up of dirt. A more

serious type of blockage, which can occur quite rapidly is caused by a reaction betweendetergents in certain two-stroke oils and water in the fuel.

Both types of blockage may be difficult to detect visually. If blockage is suspected, renewfuel filter or filter element. Subsequently avoid water contamination of fuel.
