aircraft un-airworthy and will void any warranty issued by Jabiru.
The Jabiru 2200 aircraft engine is designed to be operated and maintained only in strict
accordance with this instruction and maintenance manual. Any variation of any kind,
including alteration to any component at all, whether replacement, relocation,
modification or otherwise which is not strictly in accordance with this manual may lead
to dramatic changes in the performance of the engine and may cause unexpected
engine stoppage, engine damage or harm to other parts of the aircraft to which it may
be fitted and may lead to injury or death. Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd does not support any
modifications to the engine, its parts, or components. Any such actions may render the
aircraft un-airworthy and will void any warranty issued by Jabiru.
Maintenance and modification cannot be supervised by the manufacturer. Maintenance
requires extreme cleanliness, exact parts, precise workmanship and proper
consumables. It is your responsibility to ensure absolute attention to detail no matter
who may become involved in work on this engine. Your safety, your life and your
passenger’s lives rely on precise and accurate following of instructions in this manual.
In exchange for the engine manual provided by Jabiru Aircraft Pty. Ltd. (“Jabiru”) I
hereby agree to waive, release, and hold Jabiru harmless from any injury, loss, damage,
or mishap that I, my spouse, heirs, or next of kin may suffer as a result of my use of any
Jabiru product, except to the extent due to gross negligence or willful misconduct by
Jabiru. I understand that proper skills and training are essential to minimize the
unavoidable risks of property damage, serious bodily injury and death that arise from
the use of Jabiru products.

2.3 General Description
It is said that "aircraft are designed around available engines".
Jabiru believe that the Jabiru range of very light engines offers opportunities for light
aircraft designers to develop a new generation of light aircraft.
Jabiru engines are designed to be manufactured in small batch quantities using the very
latest Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools. All Jabiru engines are
manufactured and assembled in a very modern factory in Bundaberg where each engine
is run in on a Dynometer and calibrated before delivery. The crankcase halves, cylinder
heads, crankshaft, starter motor housings, gearbox cover (the gearbox powers the
distributor rotors) and coil mounts –together with many smaller components are machined
from solid. The sump (oil pan) is the only casting. The cylinders are machined from bar
4140 chrome molybdenum alloy steel, with the pistons running directly in the steel bores.
The crankshaft is also machined from 4140 chrome molybdenum alloy steel, the journals
of which are precision ground prior to being Magnaflux inspected. The camshaft is
manufactured from 4140 chrome molybdenum alloy steel –with nitrided journals & cams.
The propeller is direct crankshaft driven and does not use a reduction gearbox. This
facilitates its light-weight design and keeps maintenance costs to a minimum. The
crankshaft features a removable propeller flange which enables the easy replacement of
the front crankshaft seal and provides for a propeller shaft extension to be fitted, should
this be required for particular applications. Cylinder heads are machined from solid
aluminium billet, thereby providing a substantive quality trail to material source.
Connecting rods are machined from 4140 alloy steel and the 45mm big end bearings are
of the automotive slipper type.
Many components of the engines are sourced from outside Suppliers. These items include
camshaft followers, and the bendix gear in the starter motor. The ignition coils are also
sourced from outside Suppliers, and are modified by Jabiru for their own particular
application.
An integral alternator using rare earth magnets provides alternating current for battery
charging and electrical accessories. The alternator is attached to the flywheel and is
driven directly by the crankshaft. The ignition system is a transistorised electronic system;
two fixed coils mounted adjacent to the flywheel are energised by rare earth magnets
attached to the flywheel. The passing of the coils by the magnets creates the high voltage
current which is then transported by high tension leads to the centre post of two
automotive type distributors (which are simply rotors and caps) before distribution to
automotive spark plugs, two in the top of each cylinder head. The ignition system is fixed
timing and, therefore, removes the need for timing adjustment. The ignition system is fully
redundant, self-generating and does not depend on battery power.
The crankshaft is designed with a double bearing at the propeller flange end and a main
bearing between each big end; it therefore does not have flying webs. 48mm main
bearings are also of the automotive slipper type. Thrust bearings are located fore and aft
of the front double bearing allowing either tractor or pusher installation.

Pistons are manufactured to Jabiru design by a major manufacturer, they are fitted with 3
rings, the top rings being cast iron to complement the chrome molybdenum cylinder bores.
Valves are 7mm (stem dia) which are purpose manufactured for the Jabiru engine.
The valve gear includes pushrods from the hydraulic cam followers to forged steel valve
rockers mounted on a shaft through a Teflon coated bronze-steel bush. Valve guides are
manufactured from aluminium/bronze, as is found in larger aero engines and high
performance racing engines. Replaceable valve seats are of nickel steel and are shrunk
into the aluminium cylinder heads. The valve gear is lubricated via the hollow pushrods.
An internal gear pump is driven directly by the camshaft & provides engine lubrication via
an oil circuit which includes an automotive spin-on filter, oil cooler and in-built relief valve.
The standard engines are supplied with two Ram-air cooling ducts, which have been
developed by Jabiru to facilitate the cooling of the engine and direct air from the propeller
to the critical areas of the engine, particularly the cylinder heads and barrels. The fitment
of these ducts is a great bonus for the home builder or engine installer, as they remove
the need to design and manufacture baffles and the establishment of a plenum chamber,
which is the traditional method of cooling air-cooled aircraft engines. The fact that these
baffles and plenum chamber are not required also ensures a "cleaner" engine installation,
which in turn facilitates maintenance and inspection of the engine and engine component.
So the hard work of engine installation has largely been done for you by the Jabiru design
team. RAMAIR ducts are available for tractor or pusher configurations. Special ducts are
available for certain installations.
The engine is fitted with a 1.5 kW starter motor, which is also manufactured by Jabiru and
provides very effective starting. The engine has very low vibration levels, however it is also
supported by four large rubber shock mounts attached to the engine mounts at the rear of
the engine. An optional bed mount is available.
The fuel induction system comprises a BING pressure compensating carburettor.
Following carburation, the fuel/air mixture is drawn through a swept plenum chamber
bolted to the sump casting, in which the mixture is warmed prior to entering short induction
tubes attached to the cylinder heads.
An effective stainless steel exhaust and muffler system is fitted as standard equipment,
ensuring very quiet operations, which in the Jabiru aircraft have been measured at 62dB
at 1000' full power flyover.
For those owners wanting to fit vacuum instruments to their aircraft the Jabiru engine
design includes an optional vacuum pump drive, direct mounted through a coupling on the
rear of the crankshaft.
The Jabiru engine is manufactured within an Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority
(CASA) approved Quality Assurance System to exacting standards.
Jabiru recommend a TBO of 2000 hours, with a top end overhaul done at 1000 hours, or
when engine condition indicates the need to overhaul earlier.
