LYCOMING OPERATOR’S MANUAL IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Proper service and repair is essential to increase the safe, reliable operation of all aircraft engines. The service procedures recommended by Lycoming are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed to the task. These special tools must be used when and as recommended. It is important to note that most Lycoming publications contain various Warnings and Cautions which must be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury or the use of improper service methods that may damage the engine or render it unsafe.
