CAUTION:
After starting, if the oil gauge does not begin to show pressure
within ~10 seconds, shut down engine and investigate cause. Lack of oil
pressure indicates loss of lubrication, which can cause severe engine dam-
age. In this time also consider the time the avionics suite needs to start dis-
playing engine information.
*NOTE: See Rotax 912 iS series Operators Manual for additional details about
LANE warning lights (lamps) and engine start throttle settings.

4.4.4 TAXIING
When taxiing, directional control is accomplished with rudder deflection and
with the use of toe activated brakes when necessary. Use only as much pow-
er as is necessary to achieve forward movement. Deceleration or taxi speed
control using brakes but without a reduction in power will result in increased
brake temperature and may in extreme cases cause fire. Taxi over loose
gravel at low engine speed to avoid damage to the propeller tips.
WARNING:
Maximum continuous engine speed for taxiing is 1800 RPM
on flat, smooth, hard surfaces. Power settings slightly above 1800 RPM are
permissible to start motion, for turf, soft surfaces, and on inclines. Use mini-
mum power to maintain taxi speed.
