NOTE
When checking the oil level, the level should be in the upper half (between the
“50%“ and the “max“ mark) and should never fall below the “min.“ mark of the
oil dipstick. Prior to long flights oil should be added so that the oil level
reaches the “max“ mark.
Avoid oil levels exceeding the “max“ mark, since excess oil could then be
vented out through the venting system.
Difference between max.- and min.- mark = 0.45 litre (0.95 liq pt).
Oil consumption max 0.06 l/h (0.13 liq pt/h).
CAUTION
Never close doors by pulling the door Plexiglas; this can result in breakage of
Plexiglas.
