MAINTENANCE
6.1
Lubrication System
Oil Change as required. Oil Filter Change as required. Visual Check for Leaks.
Drain the oil while engine is still warm.
Change the oil filter at every 50 hourly inspection.
Fill with oil. (approx 2.3 litres)
Check oil level then run the engine. The MAX mark must not be exceeded after the
engine has been run to ensure that all lines, filters etc are full.
Use only registered brand oils meeting the specification detailed in Para. 2.5.
DO NOT drain the oil cooler during a normal oil change. The cooler holds only a small
amount of old oil which has negligible effect on the new oil. Taking the hoses on & off
the cooler can prematurely age the oil lines and lead to hoses slipping off the cooler.
6.2
Air Intake Filter
Clean filter by removing from the intake housing & blowing compressed air against the
direction of the intake flow.
For operation in heavy dust conditions, clean air filter at shorter intervals than
recommended for normal conditions.
A clogged filter will reduce engine performance as well as promote premature engine
wear.
6.3
Carburetor Adjustment
Idle stop screw is a 7mm screw against throttle lever.
Adjust it’s position to adjust
engine idle speed.
Standard idle mixture screw position is 1-1/4 turns out. Fine adjustment may be
necessary to give a smooth idle.
The mixture is set by selecting jet sizes. As supplied, the engine has jets to suit a
majority of installations, however, the mixture may be affected by running a propeller
which does not meet the requirements listed in the installation manual or by ambient
temperature extremes. If an engine is to used in these situations an EGT gauge should
be fitted and monitored against the limits specified above.
CAUTION: Do not change carburetor settings without consulting with Jabiru Aircraft
or our local authorised representative. If EGT readings fall outside the range given
above, contact Jabiru Aircraft or our local authorised representative.
