    Default Oil Cooler Installation Instruction

    In my instruction manual, I have an appendix A - oil system installation with the cooler - and it has blank steps. Does anyone have an instruction sheet they can scan in?

    thanks

    I have the same request as Tomfox... are there actual oil cooler instructions? If so I did not get them. The Kitfox folks are in Sebring, or heading there right now, so I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has a copy of the instructions that they could scan and send to me, if they exist. This would be for the 7 SS.

    Also, has anyone incorporated one of the oil thermostats with their installation on a Series 7, and if so could you post pictures of how & where you positioned it?

    Thank you!

    I have a copy at the airport. Gonna stop by and pick up the snowblower tomorrow. I'll grab them and see if they have blank pages.

    I installed the oil thermostat in my SS7 (highly recommend it) and have pics of the installation that John McB sent me. I'm not at home now but will post the pics this evening.

    Rotax in Europe sells a thermostat which is mounted directly on the oil cooler. Thermostat opens at 189°F / 87° C.
    This installation uses less hoses.
