After checking and rechecking everything we added fuel to our header tank, about 2 gallons. We ran the fuel pumps and checked for any leaks on the high pressure side of the fuel system. Finding no leaks, we moved the airplane outside to start the engine for the first time. We secured the airplane to a nearby tree and made sure we had a fire extinguisher nearby. We used a first start checklist and engine start checklist provided by Rotax. We were rewarded with an easy start and smooth running engine.
