Safe flying rules
 O serve UL aircraft regulations.
 Do not overestimate your pilot skills and never show off. Use open areas
for emergency landing training.
 Watch the weather forecast carefully. Do not plan long flights, when storms,
fogs or frost are forecasted.
 Watch fuel level (flight time and real consumption).
 When Choosing the direction and height of your flight always consider
possi ility of emergency landing.
 Always fly with reserve of speed, particularly during all start and landing
manoeuvres.
 Do not make any kind of aero atics (e.g. total wingovers), even if you think,
your skills and flight characteristics of your MPG can manage it.
 Do not underestimate the navigation and flight planning. Do not fly into a
unknown area without proper preparation and equipment (map, compass).
 Fly only in good physical and mental condition.

16
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Engine failure (in height up to 200 m)
- lead the MPG into free flight
- in low height, land in the line of flight – try to avoid any arriers
- if you are high enough, land into an open area without any arriers, against the
wind if possi le
Engine failure (in height over 200 m)
- lead the MPG into free flight
- check fuel condition
- in case of reaking fuel supply, try to restore it and start the engine
- if your paramotor has not got an electric starter, it do not start or your high is
under 200 m, choose suita le area for your landing and land as descri ed
a ove.
Fire
- switch off the ignition
- do not try to start the engine
Vi rations
if a normal vi rations appear it is necessary:
- to set engine revolutions to the mode, where vi rations are as small as
possi le
- to do emergency landing
- if vi rations increase, land in the terrain with engine switched off.
Using the rescue system
In case of emergency or definitive loss of control of your paraglider, switch the
ignition off, right hand grasps the rescue parachute handle, pull and release it, and
throw it sideways ehind yourself. The position of the handle depends on the
rescue parachute positioning – at the ottom, on the side or in the front (standard in
the front in a front container).

17
NORMAL PROCEDURES
All engines are tested efore handover for a out 10 min. We gave special attention
to all joining components. All screws nuts and rivets were carefully tightened and
secured y Loctite. It is important to check and tighten all screws on the cylinder
head and exhaust system after approx. 2 operating hours, when heat energy
causes theirs final positioning. After this check you can e sure, that your paramotor
is save and ready to fly.
Flight position adjustment
Flight position adjustment of all paramotor set must e done efore the first flight.
The upper hang points for the kara iners are used for PPG flying. You should set
seat position, side trims, shoulder trims, to find comforta le position slightly leaning
ack. We recommend to hang the seat so that it simulates the flight position and to
try shift from sitting to stand-up position efore landing. It is important for future
smooth starts and safe landings.
The propeller must e in an angle of 5 degrees with vertical axis in flight position.
Each pilot must adjust the flight position for his high and weight.
PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION
Paramotor assem ly
Frame
Take all components out of transport containers. Place the engine part horizontally
on the ground. Put the ottom quarter of the frame in the fixed pipe located in the
middle of the side of the laminate part, and turning fix it to the ottom hollow. Do the
same with the other ottom quarter. Then secure them together with velcro. Then
stand the engine up. Assem le the 2 upper quarters of the frame first, then slide
them partially into the pipes in the laminate part and finally to the ottom half of the
cage. Then assem le whole cage and secure it with all attached velcro elts.
Propeller
Put propeller on the reduction, put flange on it and secure it y four special screws
supplied. Tighten these y hand key in the order 1-4-2-5-3-6 with force of approx.
1 kg/m. Do not dent the propeller ody y over tightening. We recommend to turn
the propeller round once y hand to make sure, that it is attached correctly.
ATTNETION!
Never start the engine without a propeller!!!

18
Engine
Release the petrol tank cap to allow equalization of a pressure in the tank. Tighten
the cap again.
Battery
Insert charged attery (in the protective case) in the attery case in the laminate
part. Check the main starter switch. It should e OFF. Then connect leads and
close the attery case.
Harness
There is an anti-vi ration air ag in the ack part of the harness. Inflate it to approx.
30 % of its capacity and put it in the ack pocket of the harness. Clip the harness
to the paramotor firstly on a side, then at the top. Carefully check the catches.
When locking upper uckles, pay attention to the rescue system elt, which has to
lead over a ove the uckles straps. Each of these uckles has earing capacity of
300 kg and can not e un uckled without simultaneously pressing oth safety-
locks. The tu es at the side can not opened without simultaneously pressing safety
catch and pulling out the tu e. Now You can e sure, you will not loose your
paramotor during the flight.
1) main glider attachment
2) side tu es for paramotor attachment
3) upper paramotor attachment points
4) rescue system attachment point
5) rescue system handle
6) front rescue system container attachment
7) straps for shoulder elt length setting

ENGINE TEST
When starting cold engine, repeatedly pres the petrol pump, until petrol
comes out through the air filter. Remove all small o jects, which could e
possi ly drawn in y the propeller, from immediate proximity of the
paramotor. Loos parts of your (and long hair) are equally dangerous.
No ody must stand dangerously close to starting engine,
especially not in the propeller’s plane of rotation.
1.
Switch on the main switch on the right hand side. Grasp the engine handle firmly y
left hand, lean your knee against the laminate. never hold the protective frame. The
engine gives thrust immediately after it is started. It is necessary to keep this in
mind and make sure, the engine switch off utton is accessi le.
Electric start
As no.1.Switch the starter switch ON. Take the throttle and press starter utton. The
engine should start running within max. 10 s. If not, repeat start after short pause.
After starting, Warm up the engine for a out 1 min in low and middle rpm, till it
starts accelerating. Then try idle revs, transition from min to max revs and ack.
Switch the engine off.
* Why is the throttle in left hand?
Most of the pilots are right handed. So they hold the throttle in the left hand,
similarly like the cluch in the car on the left leg. And the right hand is free to
manipulate with tools, radios or cameras, which is much more motorically
demanding activity.
REFUELLING
Always refuel with the engine and all its electricity switched OFF. Fill the tank
through the filter and check the fuel purity. Make sure there is no fire around the
MPG, especially no ody smoking there. Use only fuel containers specifically
intended for fuel. Do not wear clothes, which create static electricity, during
refuelling your MPG. Keep the fuel out of the reach of children.
It is possi le to watch fuel level during the flight, y the mirror placed on the string
in the harness pocket (or a para olic plastic mirror fixed on the glove).
