FIRST SAFETY! - WHO, WHERE AND WHEN CAN FLY IT.
Powered Para Gliding (PPG) is the most exciting, least expensive, safest and most accessible
form of aviation available! However, it is still aviation, and carries with it all the potential
inherent dangers of aviation, which is why it is imperative that prior to flying with this PPG it
is necessary to receive adequate training from qualified instructors and obtain a valid PPG
license. Give the Paramotor the attention that all the aviation deserves, to respect the norms,
the weather conditions and to realize that the pilot who is fully responsible for his own safety
and for the safety of fellow pilots and bystanders. Depending on each national regulation, the
Paramotor can only be used in authorized areas and flights within controlled airspace usually
require an authorization issued via radio, furthermore additional requirements such as a valid
insurance must be met.
Because of the inherent risks in flying any Paramotor, no warranty of any kind can be made
against equipment failures, accidents and even fatal injuries.
This Paramotor is not covered by product liability insurance.

FRAME ASSEMBLY
The engagement system used "clip
button" or snap button, greatly simplifies
the assembly procedure.
For a correct use, keeping the button
pressed, engage the two parts and rotate
them slightly until the clicking button
comes out of the hole.
For disassembly, just keep the button
pressed down until doing a slight pull
and rotation until the hole is released
from the button thus allowing the
separation of the two parts.
The supports of the cage to be mounted on the central
frame are of THREE different lengths as shown in the
figure:
A: LONG –up
B: AVERAGE –center
C: SHORT –low
The other removable part: DIt is the starter support
for housing the engine starting pulley.
N O T I C E
JUST THE FIRST ASSEMBLY, AS THE NET IS NEW,
IT IS NORMAL TO EXERCISE A GREATER FORCE
THAN USUAL IN ASSEMBLING THE PARTS.
YOU CAN PROCEED WITHOUT FEAR OF DAMAGE.
