78. EXHAUST
78.00.00 General
There is one muffler system for the two cylinders. Each of the cylinder exhausts have a custom made
manifold that routs to the Rotax Muffler. The exhaust system temperature is indicated by the SkyDAT
digital display, with the sensors in place at the exit of the two cylinders.
78.10.00 Collector/Nozzle
The muffler connections are all of the spring loaded ball joint type to absorb engine vibration.
Removal and inspection of the exhaust system is simple and obvious. When reinstalling the exhaust
system, Loctite anti seize paste should be used as recommended by Rotax (Loctite # 76764.) See the
Rotax manual and Loctite instructions.)
If any minor damage occurs to the exhaust it may be repaired. If new components are required contact
an Airborne dealer.
Inspect the general condition of the muffler for corrosion and holes that may be present. Ensure that it
is correctly secured. Check the ceramic coating of the exhaust and replace if it is degraded.
