Introduction
1.13 Safety Information
•This engine is not suitable for aerobatic use.
•This engine is not approved for rotorcraft (helicopters,
gyrocopters, etc.).
•Never leave the aircraft unattended while the engine is
running.
•Secure all tools before starting the engine to prevent
personal injury or damage.
•When the engine is not in use, protect it and the fuel system
from contamination and accidental / unauthorized
manipulation.
•Never operate the engine without the specified quality and
quantity of fluids.
•Engine monitoring instruments are not included in the
scope of supply of the engine. Only use suitable, approved
instruments.
•In some areas, at some flight altitudes and under certain
operating conditions, it may be necessary to protect the
engine from extreme humidity, dust or sand using further
special equipment. Please consult the aircraft manufacturer
or distributor.
•Under extreme conditions such as low usage combined
with operation in a oceanic atmosphere, or in a very dusty
or sandy environment, shorter maintenance and inspection
intervals are recommended for your own safety.
•The Continental Aerospace Technologies GmbH engine
must only be taken into operation by persons who are
familiar with the corresponding manuals and who have the
required level of authorization.
•Only the approved equipment must be used. The use of any
unapproved equipment absolves the manufacturer from
