USER MANUAL
UNPACK & FIT FRAME RINGS
When you receive the parcel with the paratrike you can see that wood panels are screwed by small
screws, remove these screws and all wood panels. Now you can bring the different parts of the
Paratrike out of the box.
Please take every part out carefully for them not to be damaged. The propeller protection rings may
be tangled with each other or by the lines (lines netting) , remove the lines carefully.……………………….
When you have taken all the parts: rings, wheels, etc. you will see that the central part of the Paratrike
is attached by a line , cut it off to take this central part from the box, you need someone help you to
do it.
Once you have brought all parts out of the box you have to fit the 2 rear wheels. In order to
distinguish the left Wheel from right Wheel you will see that the one of the wheel axles is marked
with 1 point, the other wheel axle is marked with 2 points, you have to match these points with the
trike rear axle points in the trike rear axles, which are marked also.
Now you can fit the front wheel.
Then you can fit the propeller protection rings, please follow this sequence to fit the rings:
1. Fit the upper ring part
2. Fit one of the lower ring part. Fit it on its upper part first, and then fit the 2 unions of the
outer ring and fix the velcro. Repeat the same with the opposite lower ring part.
3. Now fit the lower supports near the axle, with the 2 screws; but do not tighthen the nuts too
much, you will do it afterwards at the end
4. Proceed to make ensure the complete ring with the Push Pins
5. Finally tighthen the screws in the lower part of the rings
If you follow these steps it will be easy to do it, in case you try otherwise you may not achieve to fit
the ring or find it difficult.
When you have everything fitted you must check and make sure that everything in the paratrike is
correctly fitted: propeller protection rings, rear axles, front wheel, etc… Check that all the screws and
pins are in its place and all them are correctly tighthened.

As you can see the propellers has 2 blades, you have to fit these two parts little by little till the 6
drills (holes) match.

Now you can fit the propeller in the engine, taking care that the Helix logo is
outwards in both blades, that is the correct position, see the photo below.
Afterwards, proceed to fit the screws little by little, you have to make it in “start order”, that is: fit
an screw and afterwards do NOT fit the screw which is next, but the opposite to the one fitted.
Finally you have to finish screwing all screws with a torque wrench, at 1,1 kN.
WARNINGS WHEN FLYING
IN ORDER TO FLY THIS PARATRIKE, you need the suitable knowledge and experience in tandem
paratrike flying , in case you do not count on this formation, you must take the corresponding course
to be trained in this discipline, as well as be formed in all the safety matters and rules related to this
particular paratrike flying activity.
As it is a Paratrike with a propeller there are potential danders for people so we insist that it is mandatory
to have the necessary experience to operate this unit. The fact of reading this Manual and instructions
do not grant you the necessary experience and knowledge to operate nor to fly this unit.
BEFORE STARTING, the Paratrike must be in an open space to start it, far from persons, animals,
obstacles…
Propeller must be towards open space. And you must position the Paratrike leaning against any solid
element on its front part (such a wall , vehicle….) to avoid any risk in case any failure may happen
during starting and the engine gets suddenly accelerated, to avoid the paratrike going forwards
causing any accident.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
You have to check also that the belts are close and there is no object over the harness which could
be lost and get caught by the propeller
BESIDES, EVERY TIME YOU GO TO FLY, FIRSTLY YOU HAVE TO:
➢warm the engine before flying for about 5 minutes accelerating the engine little by little and
increasing rpm gradually.
➢your first flight with the paratrike cannot last more than 30 minutes
➢check all the engine and paratrike parts and fitting, screws, propeller, exhaust, etc.

AND AFTER FLYING YOU HAVE TO:
✓REMEMBER to disconnect the battery (in case of electric start engines) when you are not flying, or
to store the paratrike, and also to transport it. (Do NOT pull from the cables but take from the
yellow plastic connector). This practice after flying will avoid the battery to be discharged, and
will also avoid any short circuit danger.
MAINTENANCE
PLEASE observe and follow not only the following instructions respect these important components
of the Paratrike (screws, textile components and carabiners), but ALSO read and follow the engine
manual, Polini (Thor303) or Vittorazi (Cosmos300). Both are necessary to operate and maintain the
complete paratrike.
•SCREWS:
During the twenty (25) hours check-ups, you must double-check the trike’s screws in front wheel,
direction bar, rear wheels, protection ring, propeller, etc); above all, you must double-check the
attachment screws in the engine, the pinion, exhaust pipe, propeller, etc.
•TEXTILE COMPONENTS:
Make sure that the paratrike textile components, such as the harness and the Paraglider bands
(slings which attach the glider to the paratrike), are not soiled by harmful liquids, such as gasoline,
oil, solvents, etc. In this case, the harness can be washed with water and neutral soap. However,
if the Paraglider bands (slings) come into contact with the above-mentioned liquids, they must
be replaced with clean and original bands……………………………………………………………………………………
These bands (slings) which attach the paraglider must NOT be manipulated or altered under any
circumstance. In any case, these slings MUST be replaced every 3 (3) years, replacing them
sooner if it is necessary.
•CARABINERS:
The carabiners which attach the paraglider must be replaced every 5 years also, and before in
case it is necessary.
•PROPELLER:
The propeller is one of the most important components of the Paratrike and that it must
always be kept in perfect conditions. It is important that any and all propeller repairs are
performed by a specialized company referred by Airfer company, with labor

warranty.………………………………….
REMEMBER that a propeller in a poor conditions can result in serious damage to the engine,
causing it to stop working during flight and causing an accident.
The use of propellers not authorized by PARAMOTORES AIRFER will void the warranty.
✓Above listed summary is not limitative. All parts defined as “wear and tear”, whether it is a
Paratrike component or engine component (clutch, bearings, rubbers, and air filter etc.) have to
be replaced when necessary.
✓As an important general principle we also outstands the 25 hours check-ups in order to have
the paratrike ready to be flown at any time. But anyway we strongly advise before every flight
you make a visual examination of every single component of the pararike. If the paratrike is
not in ideal conditions, stop operating and immediately solve the problem.
✓Note: In case of significant power loss, stop the engine ASAP and contact your local dealer or
directly AIRFER, ALSO WITH ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR PARATRIKE.
✓READ THOR 303 Polini or COSMOS 300 ENGINE MANUAL to know in detail about the engine
operation.
NOTICE that there is no fuel pump in the Cosmos300, please do NOT fit any fuel pump on the
Cosmos300, otherwise there could be some problems in the carburetor……………………………
✓REMEMBER NOT TO MANIPULATE ANYTHING IN THE ENGINE
