Prior to operation of this paramotor the pilot should familiarize themselves with this
manual. It contains operating instructions and details pertaining to the maintenance of the
Thorix model.
The owner needs to become familure with all aspect of operation and maintenance prior
to the use of this motor. The owner needs also to adhere to laws pertaining to their own
country regarding flight restrictions and maintenance as well as what is contained in this
manual.
Information regarding important updates to this model will be made available via your
importer, and published in the relevant national flying magazines under
http://www.fresh breeze.de/en/service/dfgdfg.html
Please note: Do not make any flights in turbulent weather conditions through as a
paraglider in principle receives its shape only by the internal pressure. This can be
established only when normal air flow conditions prevail. You need to fly with increased
caution when thunderstorms are near by or forecasted.
Under no circumstances should a pilot fly too close to the storm front. Land if ever in
doubt. Other areas in your country will also have flight restrictions and laws of entry.
These include but are not limited to military zones, controlled aircraft areas and
populated areas. Seek information about an area before taking flight as well as the
appropriate licensing.

Place engine on firm flat ground and install
the lower half of the cage first, leaving the
velcro till later.
Install the upper half of the cage and check
all connections are secure.
Fix all 7 velcro tabs and recheck all cage
and frame connections are fastened tight.

The starter rope needs be fitted to the
shackle in the upper cage
The 2 part propeller needs to be joined
prior to fitting. Prior to mounting to the
motor ensure the parts are fitted such that
the motors rotation will produce thrust in
the correct direction.
The Propeller is assembled with 6 screws
and propeller plate at the gearbox.
(M6 x 3 ;10mm 10Nm)

The engine will be delivered with 2 tank lids. One is witha
ventilation hole for flight operations. The other is closed for
transport. Before each flight, ensure that the ventilation cap
is screwed on.
Failure to do so may result in engine failure due to the
tank pressure.
Use the closed lid only for transportation. Beware that a
closed tank will expand as temperatures rise, as well will
shrink as conditions get cooler and deform the fuel tank-
check the correct cap is fitted before each flight a
nd the tank
is not expanded.
Fuel flows from the fuel tank through a 90° outlet and then
through a fuel filter- check before each flight.
After the fuel filter there is the ball pump that allows the
fuel to be primed into the carburettor
The membrane carburetor has no special choke system. A
cold engine needs to be primed.
To prime your engine squeeze the ball pump.
Simultaneously press in the carburetor membrane to allow
fuel come into the carburettor.
It is important to release the membrane before releasing the
pump. Repeat this until you see fuel enter into the
carburettor via the fuel line and your finger feels a little
pressure.
Now you have the right amount of gas in your carburetor.

_________________________________
Make sure the area you start the motor is clear from people. The preferred method is to put the motor on
your
back. You can reach for the starter handle over your shoulder. The throttle lever should be in in your hands
while pulling the cord. Identify the kill switch in case you need to stop the motor.
After a tough pull the engine should start within the first 5 attempts. Normally a small amount of throttle
needs to be used while pull starting.If the engine doesn’t start then repeat the steps to prime the motor with
ball pump and membrane on the carburettor as already described. If the engine is "flooded", you may have to
use larger amounts of throttle. Beware that a motor starting on full throttle has significant risks.
THE ENGINE RUNS WITH A 1:50 FUEL/OIL MIXTURE
(2% 2T CASTROL SUPER WITH 95 OCTANE FUEL).
!WARNING! !DO NOT START ENGINE ON THE GROUND-THERE IS A
HIGH INJURIE HAZARD!

As people weights vary it is important to set up your motor to ensure your weight will result in a safe and
comfortable flight. Test hang your motor to simulate the in-flight position and re test hang after each
adjustment. The aim is to have a safe thrust line position as well as a comfortable position to fly in.
Use another person preferably an instructor to help you adjust this tilt angle. Aim for between 5-20 deg. A 5
degree thrust line means the thrust is pointing 5 degress down. The higher the angle the more tilt back.
Beware this may result in more difficulty gettign out into hang for landing. Higher tilt back angle may also
result is pre mature sitting down on launch.
Factory settings on the low hang bars are the the middle position in b
oth holes, test hang in this position first.
As a general rule.
Heavy pilots should use the glider position hole 1and the harness position 3
Lighter pilots use position 3for Glider shakle and pos 1for the harness shakle.
Before you change both settings at once, try one change at a time, as this may produce the results
required.
Always reassure yourself, that all shakles are screwed in all the way and are secured with the keyrings
(small picture)
!! All 4 shakles must be
secured with the keyrings !!

The carringstraps need to be latched to the lower
part of the frame (as shown in picture). You can
hear a click when they are attached. Check both
sides when completed.
The built in rescue system is integrated in to the
side of the harness and offers usability and comfort.
It is however very important that the reserve bridle
runs outside of the low attachment bars. (See
picture). ach time the low bars are fitted to the
frame this needs to be checked.
From there the reserve bridle splits apart and runs
over your shoulder to the carabiners.

The harness is mounted on top of the backframe.
Ensure the velcro is doubled over and secure.
The pushrods are mounted via the quickpins. It is easier if
you always leave the quickpins in the pusrods.
Mount the lower one first and be sure to include the
plastic cover plate .
Secure the upper pushrod to the frame last.

The end of the V-lines are mounted on the
carabiners. Check this.
The cushion of the harness is designed to give you
optimum support and comfort. It elevates you a few
centimeter higher and can be removed as shown
if you find the harness too small.
The cushion is mounted via velcros on the harness.
The harness comes in Small, edium and Large
sizes.

Seat position while flight
.
Landing position
Hint:
After launching it is recommended to use the kick
strap provided to easily slip into the harness. Push
your lower back into the back of the harness
stretching you legs to gain flying position. This
needs to be tested prior to your first flight as the
length of the kick strap will depend on your leg
length.

The throttle lever is secured in your hand via the
hand strap. Secure the throttle lever prior to flight.
As some methods for launch set up involve taking
the brakes first, refer to your instructors advice for
the best sequence for launching..
While doing a forward inflation ensure the A-lines
don t get caught on the cruise control. Adjust this
knob for the optimum position to avoid this getting
caught. If you ordered you throttle lever upside
down there is less chance for this to occur.
Consult your instructor for the best method for
inflation.

forward inflation.

safe!
