Introduction
To Begin we would first like to thank you for purchasing a Kangook paramotor. We
hope that our pursuit and desire for aviation innovation will make you (re)discover
the joy of a fun safe motorised flight.
Since 2008 we have been involved in the design, development and manufacturing
of a wide range of modular products.
Our paramotor / powered paragliders (PPG)sare entirely manufactured and
assembled in Canada with a continuous focus on premium quality and detailed
product development.
In this guide you will find all the information concerning the attachment systems, the
paramotor components, and the precautions to take before enjoying your first flight.
However this document does not replace the training you receive at a paramotor
training centre or your local dealer’s advice.
Please note that some details or images shown in this guide could be different than
those corresponding to your equipment.

Warning Notice
This manual must be read carefully before using your Kangook product.
Flying a Paramotor has it’s risks but is not dangerous if you respect the following
instructions. That is why our 3 year manufacturing warranty does not cover accidents,
injuries or death.
The regulations concerning the operation of Paramotors / Powered Paragliders (PPG)
will differ according to your home country. It is up to you to be informed about local
licence requirements (if any), laws, rules and regulations.
Always perform a pre-flight check of your aircraft before you take to the sky. You are
the pilot in command. All decisions to fly are yours alone. If your paramotor aircraft
equipment is not working properly do not fly until you correct the issue. You make the
choice to go up in the air but you have no choice about coming down.
1. Motors and Multi-fit Frame Systems
The unique advantage of the Kangook range of products is its frame modularity.
Indeed, most engine types will fit on our frames thanks to our Multifit system.
The chart below describes the main connection templates for the most common
paramotor engines found on the next page.

2. The Modular Cage System
Kangook Paramotors produce cages made up of 2 or 3 identical ‘modular’ sections
and a foot section. The assembly of the cage on the frame is easy and can be
made in three steps.
Note: The cage sections are delivered with the connectors and the velcro straps
already in position.
To carry out this assembly, you need:
1 Kangook frame
3 cage sections (supplied with connectors and Velcro straps)
1 foot section
There are four steps:
1. Foot section assembly
2. Right section assembly
3. Left section assembly
4. Top section assembly
