Serious Error in Line Maint Manual 912ULS
in General Tech Discussion
12 years ago
I've reported this error before. It is again being discussed in the LSRM forums and other mechanics have verified that Rotax has an error in their Line Maintenance Manual that can lead to engine stop. We consider this very serious. Others have also reported to Rotax. Error has existed for over two years now that I know of. Discussed in Level 1 & 2 class, but everyone expected a correction would follow.
Please advise if there is any better way to report this.
--------------------------------------
Section 10.2 Mechanical synchronization
Basic throttle adjustment (min idle set against the stop)
Step 5 is wrong. Written "counter clockwise" and should be "clockwise".
Counter clockwise would back scew out, increasing the gap - leading to possible engine stop at power reduction. Should be clockwise, bringing screw into contact with stop, raising absolute idle minimum. Manual Effectivity: 912 Series

Any other ideas on how to report this to Rotax?
