Hello all,

Here is the Rotax Engine Oil Priming procedure.

1. Disconnect oil return line & block off entry to oil tank.
2. Disconnect oil line inlet to pump at pump.
3. Have container ready to collect oil at inlet to pump.
4. Apply 1 Bar pressure to tank vent connection. Don't be alarmed 
when tank goes "womp".
5. Oil will slowly come out of supply line. When free of air bubbles, 
re-connect line to pump.
6. Remove top spark plugs, switch on power to gauges (oil). Rotate 
prop by hand until oil gauge reads 5KPL.
7. Keep oil level up in tank & check level at end of procedure.

Regards,
John Baker.
