2.6 LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The ROTAX 914 engine is fitted with a "dry-crankcase" type lubrication system. The lubricant is contained in
a dedicated tank, separated from the engine unit and positioned within the limits allowed by the engine
installation manual.
The oil pressure necessary for a correct lubrication of the engine is guaranteed by a pump integrated with
the engine. The oil filter is mounted off a flange on the bottom of the engine.
To keep the temperature within the allowed limits, the oil is sucked from the tank and passes through a heat
exchanger prior to reaching the engine. The oil coming from the pump is filtered and conveyed to all the
engine so as to guarantee the correct lubrication of all its components.
The oil returns to the tank through two distinct lines: one directly from the engine crankcase, the other from
the turbine. Furthermore, the oil tank is equipped with a separate vent line.
WARNING DANGER:
The ROTAX 914 engine's lubrication system does not allow a correct engine lubrication in
case of inverted flight or of a too heavy negative load. Operators are reminded that such
conditions are largely out of the gyroplane's flight envelope, independently from the
engine's limitations.
