☞ 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.
☞ Periodically verify level of coolant at 582 UL DCDI and 582 UL DCDI mod. 99.
☞ Never exceed maximum rated rpm. and allow the engine to cool at idle for several
minutes before turning off the engine.
d00311
☞ 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.
☞ 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.

For engine type 582 UL DCDI 40 with reduced performance and noise emission an exhaust
is offered that consists of items to be fitted by the aircraft manufacturer to suit the aircraft.
Consult the respective parts list for parts needed.
■ ATTENTION: Pay special attention to maintain medium length of tubes. When using bent
tubes, refer to length of centre line.
Engine type medium length of tube
ROTAX 582, 40 kW ............................................. 660 mm (26")
Check exhaust system prior to every flight for tightness, physical damage or changes in
sound pattern. Especially inspect springs and hooks.
10.1) Installation of the exhaust system:
The muffler must be supported on vibration damping blocks. All ball joints must be
greased regularly with heat resistant lubricant (e.g. LOCTITE
Anti-Seize, 297 431) to avoid gripping or seizing of joints and
consequent breaking of exhaust components.
Springs used on exhaust system must be secured against
loss and vibration (see Service Information 11 UL 87-E, page
5).

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: 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 DCDI-
582 UL DCDI.
11.3.1) Coolant flow
Should be in the range of 60 - 70 litres/min. at engine r.p.m. 6500. See ill.
18.
11.3.2) Cooling liquid temperature
The radiator must be of adequate size, and the airstream of sufficient
intensity to maintain the coolant temperature below the maximum permit-
ted value of 80°C (175 °F) under the most severe conditions, i.e. at full load
operation (= at take-off).
The average coolant temperature must be 60 - 80°C (140 -175 °F).
In case of a pusher propeller installation, take particular care that coolant
radiator has sufficient air flow.
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.

- The gear box can be installed in two basic positions:
SZ = upright with prop shaft towards cylinder
SS = inverted with prop shaft towards engine base
According to position of gear box, fit magnetic plug and sealing ring (1) (tightening
torque 24 Nm = 212 in.lb.) and vent screw with sealing ring (2) (tightening torque 6
Nm = 53 in.lb.)
- Generally replenish oil, until oil emerges at the respective lower oil level plug (3).
■ ATTENTION: The two large ventilation bores (6) on both sides of gear housing
have to remain always open to warrant dissipation of heat.
- Wire-secure vent screw, oil level plugs and drain plug (D).
- With the installation of an EL gear box the tapped holes for radiator support are
transferred from gear box housing to adapter housing.

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: Gasoline is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always perform fueling procedures in a well ventilated area. Do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Never add fuel
while engine is running.
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.
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.
d00325
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.
The carburetor needle valve is not to be used as a fuel cock.
d00325
16) 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: These idle adjustments interact, so adjusting one may require
minor adjustment of the other.
◆ NOTE: On single carb engines, the carburetor must be in an exact right
angle position in relation to the crankshaft in both views from top
and from the intake side to ensure an equal mixture distribution to
both cylinders (see ill. below).
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.
▲ WARNING: All parts liable to become loose have to be secured.

With the silencer on a single carburetor engine, pay special attention when fitting, as
with an inclined silencer the intake situation is unsymmetrical, thus badly influencing
mixture distribution possibly leaning down one cylinder, leading to a rise of combus-
tion temperature and finally to piston seizure.

ing and loss on the assigned lug (3).
All parts liable to become loose have to be secured.

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
d00331
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.
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.
