1) Safety
Although the mere reading of such an instruction does not eliminate a hazard, the understanding and application of the information will promote correct use.
The information and components-/system descriptions contained in this Maintenance Manual
are correct at the time of publication. ROTAX, however, maintains a policy of continuous
improvement of its products without imposing upon itself any obligation to install them on its
products previously manufactured.
ROTAX reserves the right at any time to discontinue or change specifications, designs,
features, models or equipment without incurring obligation.
The figures in this Maintenance Manual show the typical construction. They may not
represent in full detail or the exact shape of the parts which have the same or similar function.
Specifications are given in the SI metric system with the USA equivalent in parenthesis.
Where precise accuracy is not required, some conversions are rounded off for easier use.

recommend strict compliance to the maintenance, operation and any additional
information which may be given to you by your dealer.
Select and use proper aircraft instrumentation. This instrumentation is not
included with the ROTAX engine package. Only approved instrumentation can
be installed.
Unless in a run up area, never run the engine with the propeller turning while on
the ground. Do not operate engine if bystanders are close.
To prevent unauthorized use, never leave the aircraft unattended with the engine
running.
Keep an engine log and respect engine and aircraft maintenance schedules.
Keep the engine in top operating condition at all times. Do not operate any aircraft
which is not properly maintained or has engine operating irregularities which have
not been corrected.
Keep an engine log and enter any unusual engine behaviour. Do not fly unless you
have corrected a given problem and recorded the correction in the log.
Since special tools and equipment may be required, engine servicing should only
be performed by an authorized ROTAX engine dealer or a qualified trained
mechanic approved by the local airworthiness authority.
To eliminate possible injury or damage, ensure any loose equipment or tools are
properly secured before starting the engine.
Never leave your aircraft or other vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
If operated by someone else you could be sued even if the use was unauthorized
by you.
When in storage protect the engine and fuel system from contamination and
exposure.
Never operate the engine and gearbox without sufficient quantities of lubricating
oil.
Never exceed maximum rated rpm. and allow the engine to cool at idle for several
minutes before turning off the engine.

Periodically verify level of coolant at 582 UL DCDI and 582 UL DCDI mod. 99.
AIRCRAFT ENGINES
INSTALLATION MANUAL
Operating the engine at high rpm. at low throttle position, for example during
descent, may increase engine and exhaust temperatures and cause critical
overheating. Always compensate and match rpm with throttle position.
Maintain your engine in top condition and assume it's going to quit running at any
time. Leave yourself a way out in the event of unexpected failure.
Never mix fuel in an enclosed area, or where fumes could reach an ignition point.
Make sure all engine controls are operative, that you know ON and OFF positions
of throttle and ignition, that they are easily accessible, and that you can operate
them instinctively without hesitation.
Never refuel if fuel could be spilled on hot engine components. Use only safety
approved fuel containers and never transport fuel in an unsafe manner.
Check engine suspension frequently as well as the drive components, fuel lines,
wiring, and fuel and air filters.
d00311
Check for fuel contamination, air vents, etc. Protect engine while not in use from
any contamination entering fuel or carburetion system, but be sure to remove
storage protection before starting engine.

After-muffler system:
For noise reduction at the tail pipe, an after-muffler can be fitted. This
after-muffler will only slightly affect engine performance and can be
clamped to tail pipe of muffler.
At the installation of the after-muffler (1) in final position,
drill the two 5,7 mm holes in the bend and muffler
end-pipe, for securing pin (5). The outer situated holes (2) have
been already machined
on the serial production
line. Remove accumulated chips
from the exhaust system.

To ensure lasting fixed position of the aftermuffler during engine operation, the connections of
muffler (3) to bend (4) and after-muffler (1) are to be
secured against twisting by the securing pin (5).
Fit clamp (6) in the specific position that the Allen screw (7)
prevents the securing pin (5) from dropping out.

11.)Cooling system
11.1) Fan cooling (ROTAX 447 UL SCDI, ROTAX 503 UL DCDI)
The engine driven cooling fan provides sufficient cooIing air, provided that the cooling
air has free access and the hot air is not recirculated to the fan.
On aircraft equipped with engine cowlings the exit must be of sufficient size and in a
low pressure area allowing the air to cool engine cabin and crankcase.
11.2) Free air cooling (ROTAX 447 UL SCDI, ROTAX 503 UL DCDI)
Means ram air cooling, for engines without fan.
In case of a tractor propeller configuration, with the propeller blowing air onto the
cylinder(s), this air stream serves for engine cooling.
On 2-cylinder-engines the air stream must be directed from the exhaust side towards
the carburetor side with suitable ducting (available from ROTAX).
Pusher propeller configurations should not be used with free air cooled engines
without consulting the engine manufacturer (in writing).
11.3) Liquid cooling (ROTAX 582 UL DCDI and 582 UL DCDI mod. 99)
These engines have an integrated water pump. The cooling circuit must be arranged
as shown on the illustrations 12 to 17. Pay attention to the following:
NOTE:
11.3.1)
The 582 UL DCDI mod. 99 has a two circuit cooling system. (see latest
revision of the current operators manual 447 UL SCDI-503 UL DCDI582 UL DCDI.
Coolant flow
Should be in the range of 60 - 70 litres/min. at engine r.p.m. 6500. See ill.
18.
11.3.2)
d00321
The max. temperature difference of the coolant between radiator entry and
exit must not exceed 6 C (11 F), the average difference must be around
3 and 5 C (5 and 9 F).
If temperature limits are exceeded or coolant flow rate is below specified
values (excessive flow resistance), vapour is produced in the cylinder
head, causing cooling break-down and engine damage.

AIRCRAFT ENGINES
INSTALLATION MANUAL
11.3.3)
Anti-freeze additives
NOTE:
11.3.4)
Cooling system
To avoid coolant pump cavitation, the cooling system must be under
pressure. This is achieved by using a pressure cap with a release pressure
of approx. 0,9 bar (13 psi).
The coolant hoses must be installed in such a way that air and steam
bubbles can escape from any point of the system towards the expansion
chamber.
The overflow hose (10) coming from the radiator neck is to be led into a
vented overflow bottle (11) . It should be half filled with coolant. The
overflow hose must reach into the coolant or enter at the bottom of the
overflow container.
The overflow bottle should be fitted not lower than 250 mm (10 inch) below
the radiator cap. When the system cools down, the originally displaced
liquid is sucked back through the breather valve in the radiator cap.
If the coolant is not sucked back, the cooling system
is faulty and must be checked.

General advice:
The oil pump driven by the crankshaft via the pump gear supplies fresh oil
for engine lubrication. The oil pump is a piston type pump with a metering
system. Via diffuser jets in the intake cover or intake socket each cylinder
is supplied with exactly proportioned quantity of two-stroke oil. The oil
quantity consumed is defined by the engine r.p.m and the oil pump lever
position. This lever is actuated via a Bowden cable connected to the
throttle cable. The oil flows to the pump from an oil tank by gravity.
WARNING: In case of fresh oil lubrication the carburetors are supplied
with pure gasoline (no oil/gasoline mixture).
12.2.2)
The oil pump assy. features an oil return nipple and two oil exit nipples with
integrated check valve.
12.2.3)
Installation
1 ) Oil tank capacity: The oil tank size should be more than 5 % of the fuel
tank capacity.
2) The oil tank bottom outlet must not be below the oil pump inlet nipple,
even at the greatest possible inclination of the aircraft (i.e. dimension
Hs must be greater than zero, see fig. no. 20).
3) Use a firm, oil-resistant suction hose which cannot be squeezed.
Secure it with clamps at the connections.
4) Install an adequate oil filter between oil tank and oil pump.

fig. 29
Fuel contamination is a major cause of engine failure. The best place to avoid
contamination is at the source. Once fuel is in your container, a very harzardous
potential exists.
Use a clean safety approved storage container. Filter all fuel entering and leaving this
container. Do not over-fill container, allow for expansion.
WARNING:
The carburetor(s) is (are) supplied with fuel by the fuel pump provided with the engine.
The pump is actuated pneumatically via an ,impulse line leading from the nipple on the
crankcase to the fuel pump. This line should not be longer than 500 mm (20 in.) and
must be of stiff and fuel-resistant material.
The fuel pump should be installed in a cool place (not on the engine itself),with the
small drain hole near the impulse connection towards the bottom. This hole drains oil
condensate from the pump diaphragm chamber.
If possible, the pump should be located below the fuel tank level.
d00325
If the fuel tank is considerably lower than the engine, an electric pump should be used.
This pump is to be connected in parallel as in case of series-connection the fuel
pressure would be excessive.
page 15 - 1
Initial issue, May 01/99
AIRCRAFT ENGINES
INSTALLATION MANUAL
The electric pump must produce a pressure of minimum 0,2 bar (3 psi), and together
with the pneumatic pump max. 0,5 bar (7 psi) resp. max. 0, 4 bar (6 psi) in case of a
diaphragm carburetor, and must allow free flow-through, even when switched off.
A suitable fuel filter of 0,15 mm mesh size must be fitted between pump and
carburetor. Do not use paper filters. The fuel tank must have a drain cock for
condensed water. A screen of 0,3 mm mesh size should be fitted to the fuel line in the
tank. Never restrict the normal fuel flow.
The fuel lines and impulse line must be of a type to comply with national regulations.
The minimum diameter is 5 mm (0,2 in.).
If the fuel tank is placed higher than the carburetor, the tank connection must have
a fuel cock (with filter) to shut off the fuel supply when the engine is not running.
WARNING: The carburetor needle valve is not sufficiently tight to seal for a
prolonged period of time and during transport.
National regulations may require a fuel cock to be fitted even if the fuel tank is below
the carburetor.

Carburetor
The carburetor can be adjusted by jet replacement of various approved sizes, and
by adjusting idle air/fuel mixture screw, carb piston stop adjustment, needle sizes,
and needle position.
The air/fuel mixture at idle speed is adjusted by the air adjusting screw. The idle r.p.m.
is adjusted by the carburetor piston adjustment screw.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Replacement of parts should be done only after proper trouble shooting has been
carried out and then, by an experienced two cycle mechanic.
Ensure that throttle cable and linkage do not stick and that carb piston valve can be
fully opened and closed . Minor cable backlash can be adjusted at cable adjustment
screw and lock nut.
Be certain that throttle linkage is not affected by engine or airframe movement. This
will change throttle settings.
Air intake filtration and/or noise reduction devices must be in place for proper
carburation. See section on special operating conditions.
Special operating conditions, such as severe climate or altitude change may require
different jetting. Contact your dealer.
In no case should jet changes be made by unqualified persons or those who do not
have ROTAX technical information to do so.

Air filter
Only air filters approved by ROTAX are permitted for use. The air filters
specified by ROTAX are special K & N air filters. Dry filter elements of
paper are not allowed for humid operating conditions, as they absorb
water, thus reducing the air intake leading to enrichment of the fuel/air
mixture.
Two kinds of filter design are applied on these engines:
- Single air filter
- Double air filter
With 2 carburetors on engine, either 2 single air filters or 1 double air filter
may be fitted.

consumers, or via a rectifier-regulator for loading a battery and feeding
direct current consumers.
To avoid the voltage to rise above permissible levels, a voltage regulator
must be used.
To operate loads requiring direct current (e.g. charging battery), a rectifierregulator is required.
A rectifier-regulator, part no. 866 080, is available. As a power supply for
lights only. This rectifier-regulator can be used without a battery. In this
case the regulated RMS voltage will be between 11 and 12 Volts as long
as a minimum load of 1 amp is provided.
If a battery is used it must be capable of absorbing approx. 1 amp. minimum
continuous charging load, even with full charge (suggested minimum
battery capacity: 9 amp.h, resp. 16 amp.h with electric starter). Regulated
voltage is 13.5 to 14.5 volts.
When using 3-phase rectifier-regulator 264 870 no minimum load is
required.

On a liquid cooled engine it is possible that the cooling air flow (speed) on ground is
not enough to provide adequate cooling for extended periods of time. Therefore, it is
necessary to observe carefully the temperature of the cooling liquid during break-in
procedure to avoid overheating. Before exceeding the maximum allowed cooling
temperature on cylinder head (outlet) of 80 O C/180 O F interrupt the run-in and cool
down the engine at idle for approximately one minute and continue the run from where
it was interrupted.
On a free air engine it is possible that the cooling air flow on ground is not enough
to provide the necessary cooling for extended periods of time. Therefore, it is
necessary to observe carefully the cylinder head temperature (CHT) during the
break-in procedure and avoid overheating. Before exceeding the maximum allowed
CHT of 250 O C / 480 O F interrupt the run and cool down the engine at idle for
approximately one minute and continue the run from where it was interrupted.

Be sure to use a safe run-up area, to anchor aircraft at those points approved by the
airframe manufacturer, and to have someone present who is able to shut off the
engine instantly and to prevent unauthorized people entering the danger area.
Proper clothing, ear protection etc. should be used on any engine run-up test.
d00331
After this procedure the idle must be adjusted (see also latest revision of the current
Maintenance Manual 447-503-582). Then proceed with taxi test to verify proper
cooling system. Then short take offs can be conducted. After a few short full-load
take-offs, but not later than after 2 hours total running time, the cylinder head nuts must
be re-torqued to 22 Nm (195 in.lb.). For this procedure the cylinder cowl (if any) must
be taken off.
