INTRODUCTION
This manual provides Warranty Flat Rate Allowances for Rotax Jet Propulsion System models manufactured in 2013 or later. This manual can also be useful in determining shop hours required to perform non-warranty service work or maintenance.
1. HOW DOES IT WORK
Follow the procedures detailed in the Rotax Jet Propulsion System Service Manual. The flat rate time is the maximum time allowed for a repair involving any given part. FLAT RATE TIME IS NOT CUMULATIVE. You must use the flat rate time given for the longest lasting operation. All flat rate times are based on the actual time required for a factory trained technician to complete the various operations using the appropriate hand tools and Rotax Jet Propulsion System special tools.
All fractions of hours are in tenths.
2. COMPILATION
Flat rate times include an allowance for diagnosis as well as time for the removal and replacement of all components necessary to complete the repair. Where appropriate, the flat rate times also include time for performance tests with recommended test equipment. Flat rate times are not cumulative. Only use the flat rate time for the longest operation. Be aware of this when comparing flat rate hours claimed and those actually paid. If Flat Rate times overlap, this extra time will be cut from the claim without notification. Flat rate times do not include the additional work required for removal of corroded screws. Dealers in salt water areas may add this time, when appropriate. See flat rate codes “Y” for additional allowances. Only one salt water allowance may be submitted for each major repair. Any additional time required due to corrosion will be the responsibility of the customer. (See applicable Rotax Jet Propulsion System Limited Warranty.)
The Flat Rate Time Schedule is compiled as follows:
The actual time required to perform the repair plus (+) 30% correction factor up to 3.0 hours or (+) 15% over 3.0 hours time to take into account, among others:
– Vehicle handling
– Obtaining the parts
– Diagnosis
– Cleaning
– Special compensation (rusted bolts).
