SUMMARY
Hydraulic lock can result when oil is present in the cylinder. Oil is practically incompressible in an engine cylinder and
will prevent the engine from rotating. If the ignition is on and the engine is started, enough force can be applied to
the piston to bend the conrods. The starter motor alone will no be powerful enough to damage the engine if there is
hydraulic lock. The starter motor will simply be stalled.
Each shutdown may position the intake valves allow oil to seep past and into the intake pipe. This accumulated oil,
unless removed, can be sucked back into the combustion chamber resulting in hydraulic lock.
Engines using an auxiliary oil scavenger pump must still perform the hydraulic lock checking procedure. The pump
cannot drain absolutely all oil from the engine.
The fact that the Rotec Radial starts easily and runs so smoothly can lead to complacency. Do not allow complacen-
cy creep into your start up and shut down procedures. Its important that you memorize the prevention and checking
procedure and understand the reasoning behind them.
