IMPORTANT NOTICES
** CONGRATULATIONS **
Thank you for choosing an excellent paramotor. Please take the time to read this
manual carefully, with this manual we will try to give advice on the maintenance and
operation that will help you have a reliable paramotor and to preserve your
investment.
Furthermore, we invite you to give this manual with the paramotor if you sell it, so it
can be useful for the next owner as well. The manufacturer and the resellers are
ready to answer your questions and, if necessary, to solve problems, because the
safety of yourself and the others is the most important thing for us. When you will
receive the motor, it will already have overcome a test of 1 hour in the factory,
verifying the operation of all the components and the operation to every speed. All
the paramotors are tested before the delivery. We reserve the right to change
specifications, components, details of the motor, in relationship to the model in
production without incurring in some obligation. The reliability, the performances and
the duration of your paramotor will also depend on your understanding of the correct
maintenance and operation of the engine. This manual describes the paramotor, its
installation, use and control.
This PPG is not covered by product liability insurance. Do not start it or fly it
unless you are willing to assume all risks inherent in the sport of Powered
Paragliding and all responsibility for any property damage, injury or death
which may result from the use of this product.


You must be aware that any engine can fail and breakdown at any moment,
this could lead a landing in less than ideal areas with the possibility of injury to
the pilot or other people. Any powered paramotor must only fly in permitted
areas, and never to fly low above a crowd of people. Inhabited zones, water,
and areas that are difficult to land should be avoided, always remember that
the engine could stop.

Some atmospheric conditions can cause the engine to perform differently than
normal. Before beginning every flight, you must test the paramotor on the
ground. Start the engine on a flat surface that is free from stones, sand or
small parts that could be sucked in by the propeller. Be sure any persons
nearby are well clear off the thrust from the propeller and not near the
propeller at any time the motor is running. A good safety distance is 50 meters
for all directions of projection of the propeller and 20 meters for the others
directions.

Do not use a paramotor that has not been correctly maintained or not been
used for some time, or if you know that is not in good condition. The use of
not original spare parts can make the paramotor dangerous and immediately
voids the warranty. Changes to the reduction or propellers can reduce safety
and reliability of the aircraft. Before every use or test, check the condition of
the propeller and the torque of bolts of the propeller. If the propeller is
damaged do not use it, this can lead to a breakup of the propeller in rotation
or to strong vibrations that will transmit to the motor and may cause damage
or loosen bolts or components.

Never use the motor without propeller or without reduction drive.

ASSEMBLING OF THE HARNESS AND THE DISTANCE BARS
Connect the harness to the frame
Fix distance bars with M8 nut

MANUAL
Connect the straps

ADJUSTING OF THE HARNESS
The best way to familiarize yourself with the harness and your personal flying
position
is
to
use
a
simulator.
Sit in the harness and adjust the shoulder straps correctly. The weight should be
constantly shared on the shoulders. Find your seat position and adjust the straps
accordingly to sit relaxed.
The optimal position of the paramotor is when the propeller shaft line is 5 ° to a
maximum of 10 ° below the horizontal line. To adjust it move the red u-part for
heavier pilots forward for lighter pilots backward.

ASSEMBLY INSPECTION
It is very important to fully inspect the assembly of your paramotor to find and
remedy any potential problem areas before proceeding.
The inspection should contain, at a minimum, the following items:
 Review each assembly step above
 Examine all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for security
 Check the harness for correct mounting, that all straps are secure, that
there are no twists on any straps
 Examine prop cage for correct assembly, that it is strong, the netting is
tight and on the correct side
 Check that nothing can get in the prop. The prop should clear the cage
by same distance at all points.
 Check the fuel tank and fuel delivery system.
 Check for correct mounting of prop, and correct torque of prop bolts.

CARBURETOR – FUEL AND OIL
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We recommend using super gasoline and full synthetic oil (Castrol TTS) at
2,5%. Mix fresh fuel and oil before each flying session. Store your fuel/oil
mixture in an approved, sealed container. Dispose of fuel/oil mixture that is
older than 1 month.
During running in we recommend using 3.0% oil mixture and use only full
power during starting.

DIAGNOSING AND STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
A flooded engine can be identified by the smell of unburned gasoline coming from
the exhaust pipe, or by periodic weak firing and puffs of black smoke during starting
attempts. If you have a flooded engine, follow the procedure below:
 Remove the spark plug and thoroughly dry it. (Note another indication of a
flooded engine is a spark plug that is dripping with gas).
 With the spark plug removed push the starter button for a few seconds while
holding the throttle in the full-open position. This will remove excess fuel from
the engine.
 Install the dry spark plug, and start using the normal procedure.
WARNING! Ensure you have placed the spark plug cap away from all fuel sources
before pulling the starter cord or a fire could occur!
WARNING! Do not use a flooded engine procedure whereby you hold the throttle
wide-open and then attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts, the prop would
rapidly spin to full RPM and damage or injury would most likely occur!
