Illustrations

The illustrations in this Manual are merely sketches and show typical arrangements. They
may not represent full detail or the exact shape of the parts but should outline the same or
similar function. Therefore deriving dimensions or other details from illustrations is not
permitted.
TYPICAL indicates a general view which may not represent exact details.

NOTE

The Illustrations in this Manual are stored in a graphic database system and are
provided with a consecutive, irrelevant, number.
This number (e.g. AE 5iS001) is of no significance for the content.

Some measurements are given in the drawings, these are manufacturing dimensions and
are subject to corresponding tolerances.

Installation
drawings

Installation drawings and a DMU-model for (virtual) installation analysis are available from
the ROTAX® Authorized Distributors or their independent Service Centers on special re-
quest and relevant non disclosure and copyright regulations.

The illustrations in this Manual show a possible installation variant including non certified
parts.
