Subject: Expanded Instructions & Tips for the Removal of the Magnetic Plug
On 912 & 914 Engines
The recently released Rotax Alert Service Bulletins ASB-912-051 /
ASB-914-034 require the inspection of the engine magnetic plug on certain
Rotax 912 and 914 Series engines.
Based on information gathered from field reports and consultations with
their own experienced in-house Rotax service technicians, Rotech Research
Canada Ltd. (Authorised Distributor of Certified Rotax Aircraft Engines)
has discovered that, in some instances, removal of the engine magnetic
plug can be difficult. Failure to use proper shop techniques and good
quality tools when attempting to remove the magnetic plug can result in
damage to the engine magnetic plug and / or engine crankcase.
In response, Rotech Research Canada Ltd. has developed a set of expanded
instructions and tips that can be used by owners, operators and engine
service personnel when removing the engine magnetic plug. These
instructions and tips assume that the user has an understanding of good
shop practices and techniques. Users with limited shop or mechanical
experience are strongly advised to seek assistance from an authorized
Rotax Service Center or Repair Station.
Rotech Research Canada Ltd. has generously allowed these expanded
instructions and tips to be shared with all Rotax Owners Association News
subscribers. Click on the following link to download the instructions and
tips as a PDF document from the Rotech Research web site:
