Designation Description
Type 912 4-cyl. horizontally opposed, normally aspi-
rated engine.
NOTE
ROTAX 912 i Series includes 912 iS, 912 iS Sport and 912 iSc
Sport.
Introduction The operating limits for certified engines are also given in the
type certificate for the relevant engine type.
This chapter of the Operators Manual contains the operating
limits that must be observed and adhered to while operating
this type of engine.

Usage/Description
AVGAS AVGAS 100LL places greater stress on the valve seats due to
its high lead content and forms increased deposits in the com-

NOTE
Propeller shouldn't be turned in reverse of the nor-
mal direction of engine rotation.
Remove bayonet cap from the oil tank, turn the propeller
slowly by hand in direction of engine rotation several
times to pump oil from the engine into the oil tank.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
m WARNING
Engine start
3 Master Switch. ON
4 Fuel pump ON
Only switch on one fuel pump when starting the engine. Switching
on both fuel pumps can lead to a bad start behavior.
ATTENTION
When the voltage supply is switched on, both lamps are automati-
cally subject to a function test. Both lamps illuminate for around 3
seconds and then extinguish.If one of the two warning lamps start to
flash, fail to illuminate, or still illuminates after a few seconds, then
this indicates an anomaly operation.
ATTENTION
For more and detailed information on the throttle opening during en-
gine start up see the diagram.
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
If after the engine start a warning lamp flashes or lights up, perform
a Lane and IGNITION check. After the Lane and IGNITION check
both warning lamps must be deactivated, otherwise there is an error.
If one of the lamps illuminates or flashes: abnormal operation.
Engine start Good engine start behavior will be achieved when setting the
performance throttle at 50% (± 5%) during engine start. In the aircraft this
number approximately corresponds to a throttle lever travel of
1-2 cm.
NOTE
These numbers depend strongly on the design and the actua-
tion mechanism of the throttle leverage and will vary from air-
craft to aircraft.

Step Procedure
ATTENTION
Step Procedure
ATTENTION
If the engine speed drops or any error messages are present from
the EMS then find out what the cause is and take corresponding ac-
tion to rectify the problem.
ATTENTION
Engine speed should not drop/increase more than 250 rpm. If the
fuel pressure is not within the limits, the cause must be determined.
The engine must not be put into service until the problem is rectified.
Step Procedure
NOTE
Lane A and Lane B have different sensor inputs. During Lane
and Ignition check, some sensor values are not displayed, de-
pending on the activation of the Lanes.
Not available sensor values if Lane A = OFF
and Lane B = ON:
• Coolant temperature
• Exhaust gas temperatures from cyl. 1-4
• Ambient temperature
• Throttle lever position
Not available sensor values if Lane B = OFF and
Lane A = ON:
• Oil temperature
• Oil pressure
Check of fuel Verify that both fuel pumps are working and no loss of power or
pumps irregular running by deactivation of one fuel pump occurs. The
limits for fuel pressure must not be exceeded.
Activate both fuel pumps (MAIN and AUX) for the take-off and
landing.
ATTENTION
If the fuel pressure is not within the limits, the cause must be deter-
mined. The engine must not be put into service until the problem is
rectified.
Check the power To check the acceleration and available power, run the engine
output at full load with the aircraft stationary for a maximum of 10 sec-
onds (refer to the Operators Manual of the aircraft for speed in-
formation, as it depends on the type of propeller being used).

Step Procedure
NOTE
Cycling the propeller governor puts a relatively high load on the
engine. Unnecessary cycling should be avoided.

Step Procedure
Step Procedure
1 Check the engine instruments.
Step Procedure
3 Preheat engine.
ATTENTION
Water in fuel will accumulate at the lower parts of the fuel sys-
tem and leads to freezing of fuel lines, filters or jets.
Remedy • Use non-contaminated fuel (filtered through suede)
• Generously sized water separators
• Fuel lines routing inclined and without undrained low points
• Prevent condensation of humidity, i. e avoid temperature dif-
ferences between aircraft and fuel
m WARNING
*) Pilot Action depends on installation relevant situation (SEP vs. MEP, operational
conditions, additional installation provisions, etc.) and can not be determined at the en-
gine manufacturing level and therefore must be established at the aircraft manufac-
ture’s level.
**) HIC A: Voltage between Terminal 2 and Terminal 8 (Warning Indicator A)
**) HIC B: Voltage between Terminal 2 and Terminal 10 (Warning Indicator B)
ATTENTION
NOTE
An oscillating system indicates limited capability from the sys-
tem (e.g. set value determination, diagnostics, etc.) however it
still continues to be able to provide full engine power.
No charging of battery!
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
Exceeding oil • Any exceeding of the max. oil temperature must be entered
temperature by the pilot in the logbook, stating duration and extent of
over-temperature condition.
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out.
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
Oil pressure too Immediately stop the engine and check for reason. Check oil
low system.
• Check oil quantity in oil tank.
• Check oil quality. See Chapter: Operating media-Lubricants.
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out.
ATTENTION
Oil pressure too • Reduce engine speed and check the oil pressure again once
high it has reached a higher oil temperature
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out
• Check the ECU error log file
ATTENTION
• After landing locate the cause of fire and resolve the error be-
fore next flight by qualified staff (authorized by the Aviation
Authorities)
• An entry in the logbook must be made
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out
ATTENTION
Exceeding fuel • If the pressure is too high, switch the AUX- pump OFF. If this
pressure has no effect then limited flight operation with reduced power
is possible.
• If the pressure is too low, switch the AUX-pump ON. If this
has no effect then limited flight operation with reduced power
is possible.
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out.

m WARNING
ATTENTION
Starting speed too low, start Use top quality, low friction oil; allow
problems on cold engine. for sufficient cooling period to coun-
ter for performance drop on hot start-
er; preheat engine.
NOTE
Oil pressure must be measured at idle at an oil temperature of
minimum 50 °C (122 °F). Be sure the oil pressure does not go
below minimum at idle.
