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.

• 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.

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.
Figure 7.1: Spark plug connector for mod. 99 (left) and mod. 17 (right)
INSPECTION OF SPARK PLUGSSpark plugs for mod. 99:

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.)

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.

REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGSGeneral note NNOOTTEE
To avoid spark plug damage, make sure to use a correct wrench/socket. Oldspark plugs (mod. 99) = A/F 21 / hex. 21 mm (0.83 in.), new spark plugs (mod.17) = hex. 16 mm (0.62 in.).
ATTENTION
Use of incorrect spark plugs can result in ignition problems and pre-ignition andconsequent engine damage.
ATTENTION
Always change both plugs. Never interchange plugs from one cylinder to theother.
