Went to Office Depot and gave them the URL for the new manual and they were able to print it , bind it with wire coil and covers for $17. That was good for me as the thing is almost 1/2 inch thick printed both sides.
I read it last night and it is a much better manual than the old one even though the English is much the same as the English found in the instructions for a Harbor Freight tool ! But then I can't speak German so what the heck.

Hi Dick,
I just had a wonderful evening reading the new Rotax Line maint manual form cover to cover. I need a life... LOL
There are some changes, some good some I think not so good.

I see also that the screens on the 'p' leads are now back to being earthed
at one end only.
I wish Rotax would make its mind up!!

>There are some changes, some good some I think not so good.<
I agree Roger,
I will go thru the manual again and copy the check pages and some of the other stuff. I find it useful to collect data from various sources on this engine. I must have a library about a foot thick just on this engine. It's a far cry from the info I collected on the Lycs or Continental engines where it was generally available in one complete book and easy to find. As an example find the torque for the exhaust nut that attaches to the stud at the exhaust flange on the cylinder head. Now I know with your experience you will probably know where to find it. I looked thru all the manuals and finally ended up calling Dean at Lockwood and he looked it up on his computer. This is just an example. I had to remove an exhaust pipe on a Paradise LSA in order to remove the oil filter for an oil change. (there was no other way) I wish there was a COMPLETE torque table in one location. I know if all else fails you can go by the fastener size(or the "elbow" torque wrench) but certain applications differ and I want to do things correctly. That is why I will pay big bucks for the 17 mm coolant hoses for my engine that I have been unable to find except at the Rotax distributor.

Dick, The complete torque table you seek is in the Illustrated Parts Catalog, chapter 34.

Hi Dick and all,
This sounds just like a Rotax test question. The answer Dick is in the Parts manual pg. 24-6 item 38 of the May 2009 edition. Or page 166 from the very front page.
Several torques are located in the Parts Manual for specialized areas. An exhaust stud/nut won't get the same torque as another nut and bolt the same size because of it's special duty area i.e. the very hot and
expanding & cooling exhaust flange area.
Common everyday maint torques are usually in the Line Maint manual, when it gets a little more toward the Heavy maint items then it is there and special torques are in the Parts Catalog.
If anyone is going to work on a Rotax engine whether it is an owner or A&P they should have all the manuals at hand. The Parts, Line, Heavy, Operations, Installation and a book with all the pertinent SB's.
Printing them off the web actually cost about $3-$4 then put the in a 3 ring binder.

Ah Haaa ! The one book I don't have. I have an old parts manual dating from the mid 90's and it doesn't show squat.
Thanks guys !
