10 COMMON PROCEDURES
Each paramotor has been tested in operation. All connecting elements have been examined
carefully before the delivery. It is important to check and retighten all nuts of cylinder head
and exhaust pipe after 2 hours of operation when the nuts are finally properly seated due to
heat and vibration. The use of torque rench is absolutely necessary.
Cylinder head 9 Nm
Prop 15 Nm
Spark plug 20 Nm
All other M8 bolts 20 Nm
All other M6 bolts 10 Nm
Flight position adjustment of your seat must be carried out before the first flight. It is neces-
sary to adjust the leg and shoulder strap lengths. Sitting position during flight is comfortable
when slightly tilted backwards. It is recommended to suspend the assembled paramotor to si-
mulate the flight position and to try the transition from sitting position to the suspended posi-
tion used for landing. The above-mentioned procedure will ensure an easy take-off, comforta-
ble flight and safe landing. In the flight position the angle between the propeller and vertical
axis must be approximately 2º. Every pilot must adjust the flight position for his/her height
and weight.
11 PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION
Mount the left and right side of the cage. The bottom connection must be connected first – in-
sert all the way. Connect top connector. If you have difficulties to assemble due to the tight
fit, position your self by the prop side of paramotor. Place one hand on frame and the other
on the cage section. Use your thumb to guide the male and female connector together.
Slide the top section(s) of the cage on the four connectors.
Connect the outside sides of the top frame to the side frames 2 connectors.
Attach comfort bars and harness shoulder buckles to the top of the frame.
Secure all 12 frame connections by Velcro straps. (6 on each side)
10
PROPELLER – attach the propeller to the reduction so as the central hole sits close to the
delimination ring, attach the propeller flange and secure it by four screws and manually tight-
en them by torque wrench in the order 1-4-2-5-3-6. See torque values above. Be careful not
to damage the propeller hub by excessive tightening. It is recommended to turn the propeller
manually once to make sure the propeller is attached correctly and clears all parts of the
cage.
Administrate pre-flight check of your assembled paramotor - visual control of all the bolts,
houses, connections etc. is necessary.
Administrate pre-flight check of your glider
Attach paraglider - make sure to screw the pins on Maillon shackles all the way. Secure the
secondary straps from harness to the glider’s risers creating two independent connections.
Attach speed system.
Re-check attchment of rescue parachute.
Double-check everything.

11.4 FILLING UP WITH FUEL
- Only fill the gas tank when the engine is off
- Fill the tank through a filtration insert and, in the course of filling, check the purity of
fuel
- Do not smoke while filling up
- Use certified gas tanks only
- Use only funnel approved for gasoline
- Do not wear clothing that may produce static electricity
11.5 START
Before starting a cold engine, it is necessary to prime the carburettor. Tilt machine 45 de-
grees to the carburettor side. The carburettor is equipped with a vent at the bottom; plug this
vent with your index finger while squeezing the primer bulb. Squeeze the primer pump sev-
eral times until the fuel drips out of the air filter and remove your index finger. Wait until most
fuel drips out. Tilt paramotor back.
Manual start: Grasp the recoil starter handle, place your foot on the bottom part of the para-
motor stand hold the paramotor frame with left hand and start the engine by pulling the cord.
Electric start: place your left foot on the bottom part of the paramotor stand hold the paramo-
tor frame with left hand and start the engine by pushing the start button.
After the engine starts running, warm it up in low and medium revolutions for 2 minutes until it
starts to run smoothly. After then engine is running smoothly, switch it off and hook in your
paraglider.
11.6 LAUNCH
Always launch into the wind, making sure that your path is clear of obstructions. Pay special
attention to power lines.
Your take-off stance is the same as in regular paragliding. Hold the accelerator handle in
your right hand (putting it on over the steering toggle). The A risers must be held at the link
level (in their upper part) wedged between the thumb and lower part of index finger. Stretch
your arms into medium position, with elbows slightly bent, and check your position relative to
the paraglider making sure you are exactly in its centre axis in order to ensure symmetrical
12
canopy inflation. To check your position proceed slightly forwards until the A lines are
stretched, your position is correct when you feel an equal pressure on both sides. Make
sure, at the same time, that you don't turn, otherwise you could hit your helper by the engine
or catch a paraglider line. The canopy inflation is done with the accelerator in idle position.
Before you begin raising your hands, lean against the front straps. Watch the paraglider ris-
ing, checking it visually without stopping. When the glider is above your head, release the ri-
sers and gradually apply full throttle. Make sure that you continue to run, while taking longer
and longer strides, with your back upright, until you are lifted off the ground. To reduce the
speed with which you have to run to attain lift-off speed of the glider, you may pull the brake
toggles down according to the current wind speed and direction. This will generate more lift
and aid your take off. For safety reasons, it is advisable to attain at least 10 meters of alti-
tude, before trying let go of brake toggles or to drop speed system footrest. Should the en-
gine quit while you are taking off, quickly apply brakes (flare) and run out the take-off attempt.
Reverse inflation:
For reverse inflation, grasp the brakes - they should be on top of the webbing risers. (The
right one with your right hand and the left one with your left hand) Your left hand should grab
the front lines (A) of the right side of paraglider (the way you face it) and your right hand
should grab the front lines (A) of the left side of paraglider. Perform reverse inflation and turn
180 degrees clockwise. Make sure the paraglider is inflated; you face into the wind direction -
start applying power. On a windy day you will be airborne within a few steps. On low wind
day it may take as many as 10 steps and you will have to apply full power and approximately
half brakes to get airborne. To reduce the speed with which you have to run to attain lift-off
speed of the glider, you may pull the brake toggles down according to the current wind speed
and direction. This will generate more lift and aid your take off. For safety reasons, it is advi-
sable to attain at least 10 meters of altitude, before trying let go of brake toggles or to drop
speed system footrest. Should the engine quit while you are taking off, quickly apply brakes
(flare) and run out the take-off attempt.

12 LANDING
Watch the landing zone carefully, check for obstructions and direction of the wind. Always
land against into the wind.
Press the OFF switch and hold it until the engine stops at the altitude of at least 30m over the
ground. At 10 meters above ground, sit out of your harness and extend your legs with one
foot forward, ready to run. Flare 1 m over ground. Turn 180 degrees and collapse the para-
glider in such a way as to prevent the contact of the canopy and lines with warm parts of the
engine.
It is recommended to let the engine run on the ground in medium revolutions for 1 hour at
first and to accelerate from time to time to the full output for 1-2 sec, and then to slow to med-
ium revolutions again. Towards the end of this testing hour, let the engine run at full revolu-
tions for about 1 minute. It is important to keep the mix ratio according to the table below.
The engine will be ready for the first flight after this procedure.
It is recommended not to run the engine at the full output for a long time during the first flight
5 hours - use the full output for take off only (max 1 minute) and change the RPM during the
flight itself often. After 5 hrs of flight time, the engine is ready for non-restricted use.

MODE TIME RATIO
Break-in 10 hours 1: 30
Regular operation 10 and more hours 1: 40
ANY MECHANICAL DEFECTS LEADING TO ENGINE SEIZE-UP ARE NOT SUBJECT TO WARRANTY
REPAIR. THESE DEFECTS ARE ALWAYS CAUSED BY NON-OBSERVANCE OF THE RUNNING-IN
REGULATIONS, USING NON-QUALITY FUEL OR OIL, USING WRONG MIX RATIO, OR BY ANY COM-
BINATION OF THESE FACTORS.
Setting is done by turning the HI or LO screws counterclockwise from the tightened (fully
closed) position of the screw. Be careful not to be too aggressive when turning HI or LO
screw clockwise looking for closed position as excessive torque could damage needle seat
inside carburettor.
