Main wheels - size 15x6-6 - are provided with hydraulic disc brakes. These are carried on an all-composite leg. The nose wheel is fitted with spring and hydraulic shock absorber. The front wheel has size 12 x 4 – 4. All wheels provided with fairings. Tire inflation of all wheels is for 2.3 bar (33psi) pressure Approved Oils and Capacities In general we recommend referring to the latest ROTAX 912 Series engine operator's manual to check for suitable engine oil. Nevertheless, general recommendations about lubricants are shown below. If engine is mainly run on AVGAS more frequent oil changes will be required. See ROTAX Service Information SI-18-1997, latest edition. At the selection of suitable lubricants also refer to the ROTAX Service Information SI-18-1997 latest edition. The use of multi-grade oils is recommended. Multi-viscosity grade oils are less sensitive to temperature variations than single-grade oils. They are suitable for use in all seasons, ensure rapid lubrication of all engine components at cold start and multi- viscosity oils get less fluid at higher temperatures. Oil specification Motorcycle oil of a registered brand with gear additives. No aircraft engine oil should be used. - Use only oil with API classification "SF" or "SG" - Due to high stresses in the reduction gears, oils with gear additives such as high performance motorcycle oils are required. - Because of the friction clutch incorporated in the gearbox, oils with friction modifier additives are unsuitable as this could result in a slipping clutch during normal operation. - Heavy duty 4-stroke motorcycle oils meet all the requirements. These oils are normally not mineral oils but semi- or full-synthetic oils. - Oils primarily for Diesel engines are generally unsuitable due to insufficient high temperature properties and additives which favor clutch slipping. 7 July 2016 Revision 1.0 15 General Safety Information TBD Reporting possible Safety of Flight Concerns During Inspection TBD Inspections Introduction This section includes exact procedures for aircraft handling on ground and maintenance recommended by the manufacturer. It defines periodical inspections and prerequisites for the required performance and reliability of aircraft. Passing mandatory inspections required by the manufacturer is one of warranty conditions. Periodical Inspections Regular and thorough maintenance is a prerequisite of reliability and safe handling of the aircraft. Warranty inspection and inspections at 50, 100, 300, and 1000 operating hours must be recorded in Table of lubricants Since the temperature range of neighboring SAE grades overlap, there is no need for change of oil viscosity for a short duration of ambient temperature fluctuation.

Virtually any lubricant, engine or transmission oil, may be used on all other parts. To facilitate lubrication of parts which are hard to access (e.g. hinges), fill a syringe with thicker needle with oil. Apply 1 to 2 drops of oil at each location. Oil also protects some parts from corrosion. Location Lubricant (grease) Lubrication frequency Front landing gear leg Grease Once a year Aileron, flap hinges Transmission oil Every 300 hours flown Elevator hinge, trim surface Transmission oil Every 300 hours flown Control connections (joints) Transmission oil Every 300 hours flown Aileron connections (joints Transmission oil Every 300 hours flown Some of lubricating locations are accessible after removal of seats from cabin. 7 July 2016 Revision 1.0 31 Cleaning and Care This section describes the procedures for cleaning and service of aircraft components. Aircraft skin Use lukewarm water to wash aircraft. Parts listed below must be washed and dried. Automotive preparations may be used to remove dead insects. Treat (protect) aircraft using automotive cleaning and protective preparations approximately once a month. Wait approx. 1 month before the first treatment to allow aircraft skin paint to cure.  Propeller blade and spinner  Wings and tail surfaces  Wing struts  Landing gear  Engine cowling air suction holes  Fuselage Glazed aircraft parts Wash, dry, and polish glazing, using velvet (deer skin), frequently washed in clean water. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not clean glazing without previous wetting, and do not use chemicals, thinner, nor benzene. Aircraft interior Clean all debris from cabin, remove rubbish from baggage area. Seats may be removed from cabin, brushed or washed using domestic cleaner (cleaning / washing solution).

Inspection Inspection Requirements As required by Federal Aviation Regulations, all civil aircraft of U.S. registry must undergo a complete inspection (annual) each twelve calendar months. In addition to the required Annual Inspection, aircraft operated commercially (for hire) must also have a complete aircraft inspection every 100 hours of operation. Trouble Shooting Refer to Rotax 912 UL/S Maintenance Manual, latest issue. This table should be understood as a general guide to locate engine failures. 7 July 2016 Revision 1.0 38 Cleaning The engine may be cleaned with a suitable solvent, then dried thoroughly. Particular care should be given to electrical equipment before cleaning. Solvent should not be allowed to enter magnetos, starter, alternator and the like. Hence, protect these components before saturating the engine with solvent. Cover any fuel, oil and air openings on the engine and accessories before washing the engine with solvent. Caustic cleaning solutions should be used cautiously and should always be properly neutralized after their use. Accessories Removal Removal of engine accessories for overhaul or for engine replacement involves stripping the engine of parts, accessories, and components to reduce the engine assembly to the bare engine. During removal, carefully examine removed items and tag defective parts for repair or replacement by a new part. Items easily confused with similar items should be tagged to provide a means of identification when being installed on a new engine. All openings exposed by the removal of an item should be closed by installing a suitable cover or cap over the opening. This will prevent entry of foreign particles. If suitable covers are not available, tape may be used to cover the opening. Inspection For specific items to be inspected refer to engine manufacturer’s manual.  Visually inspect the engine for loose nuts, bolts, cracks and fin damage.  Inspect brackets for cracks, deterioration and breakage.  Inspect all hoses for internal swelling, chafing through protective plys, cuts, breaks, stiffness, damaged threads and loose connections. Excessive heat on hoses will cause them to become brittle and easily broken. Hoses and lines are most likely to crack or break near the end fittings and support points.  Inspect for color bleaching of the end fittings or severe discoloration of the hoses. All flexible fluid carrying hoses in the engine compartment should be replaced at engine overhaul or every five years, whichever occurs first. For major engine repairs, refer to the manufacturer’s overhaul and repair manual. Note Caution 7 July 2016 Revision 1.0 39 Trouble Shooting Introduction All checks in accordance with the Maintenance Manual (current issue/revision). The following listing should be understood as quick reference guide to locate particular trouble which may occur to the engine oil system. For detailed information refer to the engine manufacturers Maintenance Manual. Starting problems Engine does not start Possible cause Remedy Ignition off. Switch on. Closed fuel valve or clogged filter. Open valve, clean or renew filter, check fuel system for leaks. No fuel in tank. Refuel. Starting speed too low, faulty or discharged battery. Fit fully charged battery. Starting speed too low, start problems on cold engine. Use top quality, low friction oil; allow for sufficient cooling period to counter for performance drop on hot starter; pre- heat engine. Wrong fuel (Jet fuel or Diesel). Change of fuel. Engine run Engine idles rough after warm‐up period, smoky exhaust emission Possible cause Remedy Starting carb (Choke) activated. Close starting carb (Choke). Engine keeps running with ignition off Possible cause Remedy Overheating of engine. Let engine cool down at idling at approx. 2000 rpm. Knocking under load Possible cause Remedy Octane rating of fuel too low. Use fuel with higher octane rating. Oil pressure Low oil pressure Possible cause Remedy Not enough oil in oil tank. Refill oil. Too hot oil. Cool down oil. High oil pressure Possible cause Remedy Too cold oil. Cover oil cooler or install thermostat. Wrong viscosity of oil. Change oil to lower viscosity. 7 July 2016 Revision 1.0 40 Oil level Oil level is increasing Possible cause Remedy Oil too cold during engine operation. Cover oil cooler surface, observe the operating limits. Contamination with diesel fuel. Check fuel Cold engine start Engine hard to start at low temperature Possible cause Remedy Starting speed too low. Preheat engine. Low charge battery. Fit fully charged battery. High oil pressure. At cold start a pressure reading of up to around 7 bar (102 psi) does not indicate a malfunction. Oil pressure too low after cold start. Too much resistance in the oil suction system at low temperatures due to cold oil. Stop engine and preheat oil. After a cold start the oil pressure must be observed and should be above 1.5 bar (22 psi). Otherwise, the speed must be lowered again, because not enough cold oil can be sucked. If oil pressure is lower than 1 bar (15 psi) oils with lower viscosity have to be used. See SI-912-016, current issue. NOTE: Oil pressure must be measured at idle at an oil temperature of minimum 50 °C (120 °F). Be sure the oil pressure does not go below minimum at idle.
