ASSEMBLY OF THE LOWER FRAME BARS
JOINED BY THE NET IN THE 2014 MODEL FRAME
Before starting the assembly. We have to
ensure that the position of the bar, joined
by the net, it is as shown in the image.
Fix the external clip of the bar.
Fix the joining clip to the frame´s base.
Fix the clip which joins the frame bar to
the frame´s base.
First we join the bar to the frame´s base,
exerting slight preasure in the way of
the arrow´s direction. For helping the
preassure in the adecuate direction, you
should help yourself with the thumb in the
external
tube as it
shows the
detailed

You can sustain the pins in the edges and
exert a slight pressure towards the inside
with your hand´s palm, so it finishes to
introduce the pins into the tubes.
5o
To join the lower bar to the top part of the
frame, disjoin progressively the bar from
the top exerting slight force in the way of
the arrow´s direction.
The aim is to reach the needed
separation, so the pins of union can
introduce in the inside of the tubes.

HARNESS
The harness is a Sup’ Air harness designed specially for PAP and will give provide optimum comfort
during flights. Included: carabiners and automatic clips with safety closing. External articulate
extension board for additional leg support. Pulleys for speedbar system. Large Neoprene side
pockets. Emergency Parachute and Engine Rev Counter mounting system.
Even though all parts of the engine have gone through quality checks before being sent, we recommend
to check that the seat is correctly fixed to the frame, also check that the automatic buckles and
accelerator pulley are working properly (fig 08). (fig
08 )
PROPELLER
If you do not have a torque wrench just tighten the bolts slightly
more than the maximum pressure. Never Start The Engine
Without Propelleer Or Gearbox Fitted.
Its very important to check the propeller tracking. This is the
difference between the tips of the propeller on its path during
rotation. If the tracking of the propeller is occurs it means that
the propeller bolts may have been tightened asymmetrically. On
engines without clutch: Take away the spark plug so that the
propeller can turn easily. Turn the propeller, and make sure the tips of the propeller pass through the same axis during rotation.
IMPORTANT: every time the propeller is fitted it is necessary too tighten the bolts before the next flight. Check that the propeller is not
damaged fixed properly and turns correctly and smoothly. Listen for any unusual noises that might come from the engine or the gearbox.
SAFETY: always treat the propeller as if the engine was running..

THROTTLE
On the throttle handle check that
the cruise control screw is loose
and the throttle handle is returned
to the closed position (1).
The Engine STOP button is located
on top of the hand throttle (2).
The accelerator cable is passed
over the forearm for optimum
control and comfort (fig 09) .

SECURITY ON THE GROUND
THE BIGGEST DANGER IS ON GROUND so it is very important to get into a good
habit of checking the surrounding area is clear to avoid incidents/accidents:
Moving the engine: Always lift the machine using the strongest
and most stable part of the chassis. DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE USING THE CAGE.
NEVER START WITHOUT THE PROPELLER OR GEAR BOX.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for running in using the correct % of oil mix,
and always filter the fuel when filling the tank.
Only close the breather line valve when transporting the machine to prevent fuel
spillage. Otherwise this valve must be in the open position for flight.
Open – when the handle of the valve is inline with the pipe.
Closed- When handle of valve is 90° to pipe.
Make sure that there is nothing or no one around the area of the propeller during
starting and that you have placed the engine on a level surface and a mat to avoid
contact between the propeller and loose items on the ground. i,e small stones or sand.
Never turn the engine towards people, animal’s, paragliders
IF THE FUEL TANK DOES
NOT “BREATHE” THE
ENGINE WILL STOP.
(fig 10 )

PRE FLIGHT CHECK.
Check the tightness of all bolts and screws on the engine. Nothing should be loose in flight as it can come off and go through
the propeller causing extensive damage.
Check the welding especially where the engine is fixed
Check that the safety net is fastened tightly, and that the paragliders speed trim system does not have spare lines hanging,
as these can get into the propeller.
Check the condition the anti-vibe rubber mounts
After flying, clean the engine and the propeller with a cloth (it’s the best way to find abnormalities)
BEFORE STARTING IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO A
SECURITY TAPE TO LOCK THE PROPELLER IN THE COLD START.
ONLY FOR ENGINES WITH CLUTCH
A new security measure to avoid the possibility of the engine falling towards
us when starting in cold giving gas.
We start with the covers of the propellers on, as the tape has been stitched on
to the covers (fig 11) and its function is to block the propeller (fig 12) should we
not give enough gas when the engine of transmission with centrifugal clutch.
Has already started.
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE THIS TECHNIQUE TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
This security measure is intended above all to minimize risk and nerves of those
who are new to the paraengine and aren’t familiar with the manual startup.
It is a good option to get used to using this system which would also block
the propeller in case we do not notice that the roulette of the gas lever is
blocked (1) or that the gas lever does not return correctly (remember that
it is very high importance to methodically perform these checks before
starting)
We must fix the Ribbon on the principal outside ring of the frame so that the
propeller moves as little as possible See photo. Remind you that all engines with
centrifugal pivoted clutch turn to the right depending on the position of flight.
There are other techniques that exist in the world of the paramotor for long time
for this purpose. We have incorporated it as simple and efficient without using
other elements.
This TAPE (fig 13) is included in all
the PAP engines with big cylinder to
counteract the engine torque effect .

With the Flash Starter system which is mounted standard on the Polini engines , we have prepared our frames so
that you can place the starter handle behind the head(fig24) as on the left side (fig25)of the frame depending on
your preference, and the use or not of the HRS System(parachute bag behind the head).
It will be standard mounted at the workshop on the left side of the frame, as we find it safer when starting the engine
on the ground, unless the client ask’s otherwise.
The wrap is so that the tape is always in
a forward position which makes it easier
to grab when the engine is on your back.

ENGINE START TECHNIQUE
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE PARAMOTOR ON THE BACK
FOOT STARTING SYSTEM
A foot strap is used to start PAP machines with manual start only. This system allows you to turn off the engine during flight, and be
able to restart using the foot strap fitted on the left foot:
Place the strap on the left foot ensuring the loop is protruding behind your heel.
Then look for a support (such as a person or a car) (fig 18). With the engine on the back and without support, it is easy to become
unbalanced and fall and this may cause physical injury and damage to the paramotor.
Once supported, raise the left heel, take the Starter handle and insert it into the loop of the pedal right at the heel (fig. 19).
Support yourself adequately then move your foot downwards and forwards in a constant kicking motion. Once started release the
starter handle from the foot strap and allow it to retract back to its initial position.
During flight, with sufficient altitude, you can practice stopping & restarting the engine (this will be easier to do as there is no
balancing required).

MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOTHING OR NO PERSON AROUND THE AREA OF THE PROPELLER DURING
STARTING AND THAT YOU HAVE PLACED THE ENGINE ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND A MAT IN ORDER TO AVOID
CONTACT BETWEEN THE PROPELLER AND LOOSE ITEMS ON THE GROUND. FOR EXAMPLE STONES OR SAND.
PLACE YOUR LEFT FOOT ON THE CURVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME NEXT TO THE TANK AND LOOK
FOR A GOOD SUPPORT FOR YOUR RIGHT FOOT SO THAT YOU DO NOT LOSE YOUR BALANCE WHEN
STARTING THE ENGINE.

The frames are prepared to resist the pressure of the lines on the outer ring when taking off. We advise to use between 30 and
50% of power before the glider is on top of pilot. When the glider is up and stable we can use all the power necessary to take off
(this power always depends on atmospheric conditions, weight, glider, power off engine etc.
Another important factor to keep in mind is the inclination of the back of the pilot when tacking off forwards, because if we lean
forwards the lines will give longer pressure to the ring.
Also take care when heating up the engine as the lines are not tense they could be aspired by the propeller with the consequence
that this could have. It is important that the lines are far away from the frame during the process.
It is also important that the rest of the brake line is not longer than 10cm. when inflating this could be aspired by the propeller and
pull our hand backwards.

PAP WARRANTY COVERAGE
Avoid the gasoline 95 E10. Use only gasoline without lead 98.
1.- The warranty is for a period of 2 years from the time of delivery.
2.- It ensures product conformity according to the use for which it is intended.
3.- Within the warranty period of the first 6 months, we will evaluate without charge, any malfunction of the unit due to manufacture error,
either by repairing, or the replacement of damaged parts. If this is not possible, we will then replace the complete unit, provided that the
chosen option is feasible, and not economically disproportionate to the replacement of the faulty part, this decision will be decided at our
discretion. To qualify for repair, the owner should contact an authorized service dealer, alternatively please contact the factory directly.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE WARRANTY OF POLINI THOR 130 SEE THE ENGINE MANUAL.
4.- The guarantee, referred to in paragraph 1, is suspended during repair. The suspension period will start from when the consumer delivers
the unit to our dealer, and ends with the delivery of the unit to the customer. Consequently, the warranty is extended for the repair period.
Excluding the responsibility of guarantee:
This warranty is void in cases of : misuse, improper use , tampering, deterioration of the unit due to external agents such as harmful
products , chemicals, corrosive obstructive, or due to improper maintenance, lack of cleaning or the use of non-original spare parts
for our brand.
Also not covered under this warranty, any failures from misuse, as understood due to the situations described below:
1.- The use of propellers which are not supplied by PAP or repaired by particulars or professionals who are not the manufacturers
who supply the propellers to PAP, will mean the cancellation of all guarantee rights. ( This norm is due to the vibration produced
by propellers which do not correspond to the engine model or unbalanced due to an incorrect reparation, all this can produce
imperfection on the engine or frame, which in no way are imperfections from the manufacturer. )
2.- The guarantee does not contemplate the seize-up of the cylinder. ( Mechanically this is understood as the engine goes through
a quality control at the manufacturer and the tests done at the PAP workshop., it should never seize-up unless there is not enough oil
in the mixture or that the mix of air and gasoline is disproportioned, due to dirt in the carburettor, a defective joint or a sparkplug not
tightened properly. Resuming, due to the loss of stagnation on the engine blocks, factors which can always be avoided following the
recommendations and most important of all revising periodically the engine ).
Shipping costs to the factory will be borne by the customer.
