Before starting work on the engine installation read this manual and the Rotax 914 installation manual. There are some delicate parts attached to the engine, notably the ignition triggers, which require care in handling. Instead of installing the engine mounting to the aircraft, then trying to position a heavy engine onto it, the enginemounting should be attached to the engine first. Thismay have already been done at the Rotax factory. The exhaust silencer has a slotted outlet stub and requires the tailpipe EX08 to be added to it. The tailpipe is designed to be clamped in position. See figure 1. Although the tailpipe could bewelded to the silencer, for tri-gear operators this is not recommended as it is often better to remove the tailpipe before fitting or removing the lower cowlings, as otherwise the presence of the nose gear can make life difficult.
