8 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing<br />
8.17 Exhaust System Servicing<br />
The REMOS exhaust system used<br />
on the REMOS GX is manufactured<br />
from stainless steel. To provide<br />
suitable cabin temperature,<br />
especially in cold climates, a cabin<br />
heating system is included. The<br />
muffler is held in place by eight wire<br />
springs at the connection to the<br />
down-pipes. These springs are<br />
sealed with heat resistant silicon to<br />
protect them from cracking. When<br />
reassembling the exhaust system,<br />
great care has to be taken, to<br />
ensure no part of the exhaust<br />
system tou<strong>ch</strong>es other components<br />
in the engine compartment. No welding should be done to the<br />
muffler/cabin heater, if any cracks are visible; the muffler has to be<br />
ex<strong>ch</strong>anged! The exhaust system needs no servicing between regular<br />
service intervals, but we recommend to <strong>ch</strong>eck for cracks prior to<br />
ea<strong>ch</strong> flight.<br />
8.18 Propeller Servicing<br />
The standard propellers on the REMOS GX are Senseni<strong>ch</strong> and<br />
Neuform. Refer to the propeller manufacturer manuals for servicing<br />
information.<br />
However, we strongly recommend a visual <strong>ch</strong>eck for cracks and<br />
damage prior to ea<strong>ch</strong> flight. Damage to the lacquer finish may disturb<br />
the propeller balance. Therefore it is essential to repair any failure of<br />
the lacquer finish immediately and <strong>ch</strong>eck/accomplish propeller<br />
balancing.<br />
