2.3) Permissible position and location of the oil tank
Position and
location
See Fig. 10.
- The longitudinal axis z3 must be parallel to z-axis of the system of
coordinates.
Permissible deviation from parallel: ±10°
NOTE: This applies to both planes.
- The oil tank (1) must be positioned on its z-axis such that the normal
oil level (2) is always between 0 and -400 mm (-15.75 in.) on the y-
axis.
NOTE: If the profile clamp of the oil tank is 360 mm (14.17 in.)
below the propeller shaft, then the oil in the oil tank is at
the same level as the oil pump. This is the ideal position
for the oil tank.
- Install the oil tank free of vibrations and not directly on the engine.
- Oil tank cover (3) and oil drain screw (4) must be easily accessible.
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!
If the oil tank is located higher, oil might trickle through
bearing clearances into the crankcase during longer
periods of engine stop. If fitted too low it might damage
the oil circuit.
