Jabiru 2200 (text fm uk manual v 3)

a) Remove the engine from its shipping box.
To get the lid off undo the 4 screws on the sides,
not the large number
of screws on the top.
The engine sits upside down on a framework.
Remove the screws
holding this framework into the box.
Tape a piece of wood to the sump ready for the
engine to rest on,
otherwise the exhaust stubs may touch the
ground.
Get a friend to help to lift the engine out of the
box and place it upright
on the bench.
b) Fit the ring shaped pieces of the standard
Jabiru rubber mounts to the
upper mounts on the aircraft, and fit the other,
larger part of the standard
Jabiru rubber mounts to the lower engine mounts
on the aircraft.
The drawings in the Jabiru manuals vary on this
arrangement, but the
text describes this arrangement. If the top mounts
are the other way
around the front half of the mount tends to get
squeezed out by the
engine thrust, whereas with this arrangement the
central part passing
through the engine mount hole prevents this
happening.
c) Fit the engine to the mount, Figure 145.
Support the engine on a bench, such as a
workmate, chock it up to the
correct height, and offer the fuselage up to it.
An engine hoist (which
can be hired from your local hire shop), or some
other method of lifting
the engine may be used as an alternative.
Be careful how you support the engine, do not
let its weight bear on any
of its many ancillary parts such as the spark
plugs, filters, exhausts etc.
d) Fit the other rubber mount parts followed by
large steel penny washers
between the rubber parts and the securing nuts.
Discard the internal spacers supplied by Jabiru,
they are not required
with this design of mount.
e) Check that the flattened parts of the lower
engine mounts lie flat against the
saddle washers on the front vertical tu14.
If they do not then support the engine and
remove them, and carefully
tweak them to get them to lie flat.
f) Remove the support from beneath the
engine.
g) Tighten the castellated nuts until they reach
the end of their thread, then
back off if necessary to secure with large split
pins
