XT 582 Maintenance Manual
Issue 1.0

Draining the Fuel
Ensure that a suitable receptacle is found for the fuel that is to be drained, position the trike above the
receptacle and depress the draincock. Ensure that there are no ignition sources and that the fuel is
disposed of correctly.
12.10.20 Oil Injection Replenishment
Engine lubrication is supplied via the oil injection system which is gravity fed. The oil quantity is defined
by engine rpm and the lever position. The lever is actuated via a Bowden cable connected to the
throttle cable. The Oil Injection system has a capacity of 2 litres. The nominal oil usage is 50:1 (2%),
which would require 1.4 litres for a full tank of fuel.
The oil tank has a low oil level switch, which actuates the alarm on the Skydat instrument. However if
the oil tank is filled when the fuel tank is filled the low level alarm should never come on. The remaining
quantity of oil is 500ml when the alarm is actuated which leaves enough oil to find a suitable landing
area.
Oil Specifications
Oil used is Super two stroke ASTM/CEC standards, API-TC classification (e.g. Castrol TTS) mixing
ratio 1:50 (2%)
12.10.30 Rotary Valve Replenishment
Rotary valve lubrication is supplied via a small tank mounted on the top right hand side of the engine.
Oil quantity on a new installation is approximately 310ml. Before every flight check the oil level
(approximately mid height of the bottle). If there is a notable consumption of oil (in excess of 1 ccm/h)
look for a leak. If a leak cannot be found consult the Rotax Maintenance Manual.
Oil Specifications
Oil used is Super two stroke ASTM/CEC standards, API-TC classification (e.g. Castrol TTS)
12.10.40 Coolant Replenishment
The water level in the overflow bottle should be checked prior to flight. The level should be between the
low and high mark on the overflow bottle. Water-cooling system capacity is 4.0 l. See Rotax
Maintenance Manual for further details.
Coolant Specification
Rotax specifies use of: 50% antifreeze concentrate with additives against corrosion and 50% pure
water, or use of an equivalent premixed coolant.
AirBorne has had satisfactory results using the brand Nulon Red which is silicate free and is a Mono
Ethylene Glycol product containing 1040 gm glycol per litre.
WARNING
THE OIL INJECTION TANK HOLDS ENOUGH OIL TO LUBRICATE 100 LITRES OF FUEL. THE
OIL INJECTION TANK SHOULD BE FILLED EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED
WARNING
DO NOT OPEN THE COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT. SEVERE SCALDING AND
OTHER INJURIES MAY RESULT.
