5.7 Engine Preservation
The following procedures assume that the engine is installed in a Jabiru LSA airframe.
For other aircraft types, refer to the manufacturer's service manual. If the engine is not
fitted to an airframe, ignore those items referring to the airframe.
5.7.1 Flyable Storage
Flyable storage is defined as a maximum of 30 days non-operational storage.
Ensure that the engine has been stopped by turning off the fuel valve, thereby not leaving
any fuel in the carburettor bowl.
Every 7th day the propeller should be rotated through 5 revolutions, without running the
engine. Leave the propeller in the horizontal position to ensure even distribution of liquids
in the wood. If left in the vertical position, liquids will drain to the lower tip resulting in
an unbalanced propeller.
CAUTION
Ensure that the Master and Ignition Switches are OFF!
5.7.2 Returning Engine to Service
After flyable storage, returning the engine to service is accomplished by performing a
thorough pre-flight inspection. Ensure all protective covers are removed.
5.7.3 Temporary or Indefinite Storage
Temporary storage is defined as aircraft in non-operational status for a maximum of 90
days.
Treat as for flyable storage (see Paragraph 5.7.1), plus:
- For temporary storage, fill fuel tank with correct grade of fuel (to prevent
moisture accumulation).
- For indefinite storage, drain fuel tank, ensure carburettor bowl is empty by
running engine with fuel valve off until it stops or by draining bowl.
Then:
1. Disconnect spark plug leads and remove spark plugs from each cylinder.
2.
Using a spray atomiser, spray the oil through the spark plug hole with the piston
down, then rotate until both valve are open and respray to coat the induction and
exhaust system. When all cylinders are treated leave prop horizontal and retreat each
cylinder.
