Loctite 5910? Use 598

[Safety Officer]

Rotax had changed some language in their manuals a while back because some products like sealers aren't readily accessible in the US or other countries. So now you can use a suitable and comparable replacement or to be more specific "Technical Equivalent", but you do accept the responsibility for getting the correct substitute.

Rotax used to call for Loctite 5910 for sealing the gearbox and in a few other places. The problem was it only came in a 300ml tube which may last most people a lifetime and then get handed down to someone else.

The US replacement is Loctite 598 and can be purchased from several different sources and in small quantities.

Roger, that language was in there 2 years ago when I did my recurrent training.
