Wheels and tires
The wheels of the REMOS G-3 /600 consists of three piece aluminum wheel, equipped
with multiply tires. The maximum air pressure applied in the tires must not exceed 34
psi. Low air pressure should also be avoided as it enables slip between tire and wheel
which could cause damage to the air bleed valve and tube. To ensure that no slip has
occurred, (remove the word 'please') check the slip markings on each main wheel prior
to every flight. Whenever tires have to be replaced we strongly recommend to check the
wheel discs for cracks, especially the area where the discs are screwed together. After
fitting new tires, wheels have to be balanced, because badly balanced wheels will
create vibrations after takeoff, during taxiing and braking.

Changing engine oil
(also see Rotax operators manual)
To change engine oil, you have to spin the
propeller in operation direction first, until you can
hear a bubbling noise out of the oil expansion tank.
Now the engine oil is transferred to the tank and it
is possible to drain it completely by opening the
drain plug. Do not unscrew the drain plug at the
bottom of the crank case! To refill, you need about
0.8 gallons of new engine oil as recommended.
Please refer also to the Rotax operators manual.
