10. Periodic maintenance
After the first flight the engine cowling should be removed, followed by a thorough inspecti-
on of the engine compartment. Check the engine for signs of any oil leak at the joining faces
of the crankcase, cylinder bases, valve covers and shaft seals. All hoses and wiring to and
from the engine should be inspected for looseness, chaffing or any discoloration that might
indicate these are routed where excessive heat from the engine could cause premature fai-
lure. Check that all components mounted onto the engine mount and firewall have remai-
ned securely fastened. Should anything be found damaged, loose, or otherwise indicating
any abnormality, the reason for it must be found and the condition must be rectified before
the next flight.
11. Major overhauls

facility of VERNER-MOTOR in those countries where the manufacturer is represented by such an
