PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
(every 5 – 10 hours of flying)
1 Frame/ Prop
Guard Check for loose olts/nuts or cracks
2 Harness Check all elts, material for tears, worn or urnt parts of harness.
3 Propeller Check for cracks, chips in lades; sufficient prop and guard
clearance; loose or missing prop olts/nuts.
4 Gas tank
Remove cap, check inside and outside for cracks and holes. Check
olts are tight on top of tank. Check fuel line for scuffs or kinks.
Remove dirt or change filter if lockage is discovered.
5 Crankshaft Turn prop slowly, listen for compression and check for “grinding
metal” sound
6 Reduction unit Check for loose olts and excess play in propeller shaft earings.
7 Reduction elt Check for proper tracking, elt squarely in Pulley track. Look for
cracks or worn spots on elt.
8 Rotor Block Check for cracks and oil leakage.
9 Spark plugs Check gap clearance (0.8 mm ± 0.1) check for urnt electrodes and
car on deposits. (every 10 hours)
10 Throttle lever Throttle lever/ca le move smoothly and return.
11 Kill switch Button depresses and returns.
12 Starter motor Pinion gear activates and returns. Grease if necessary.
13 Electrics Check for roken wires and loose connections.
14 Battery terminals Check for loose terminals, heat u les, corrosion etc.
15 Car uretor

FLIGHT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•The Parajet Cyclone 160 engine has een run-in prior to shipment. This means that
your Cyclone 160 is ready to fly. It is important however that excessive throttle is
NOT used for at least the first 10 hours of flying. For example, do NOT depress the
throttle fully for more than 30 seconds at a time. A well run in engine will
outperform an engine that has een run at full power for long periods right from the
start. You can potentially damage a new engine with excessive throttle.
•The Cyclone 160 Paramotor unit is to e used only after having received adequate
and proper training from a qualified motor paragliding instructor.
•Max weight capacities for paramotor pilots flying a Parajet Cyclone 160 range

•The Cyclone 160 should only e used with canopies designed for motor paragliding.
•Always conduct a check of all components efore every flight.
•Always wear a helmet, flight shoes and gloves when flying the Cyclone 160.
•Always stay clear of moving parts such as propellers, pulleys and elt.
•Always stay clear of hot engine parts and muffler.
•Do not fly low level over water, woodland, or potentially hazardous landing
areas. Do not fly into controlled airspace or over built up areas, it essential
always to consider a safe landing area should you experience an engine failure or
loss of power.
•Before starting the engine check the area is clear and shout “CLEAR PROP”
•Always ensure that the power unit is switched off when not in use. The main power
switch is to e found on the left side of the machine just ehind the harness.

WARNING!!! Use of the powered paraglider is at your own risk.
SOME GOLDEN RULES !!!
1. Never place your engine downwind of your wing.
2. Have you enough fuel to get there? Better too much than too little!
3. Check for any loose articles that could trail or fall into the propeller while flying and
fasten them securely.
4. If you spot a pro lem, not matter how small, deal with it NOW!
5. Always put on and fasten your helmet efore clipping into the harness.
6. Always carry out full pre-flight checks efore launching.
7. Don’t fly into danger – over water, tree, power lines etc where an engine failure will
leave you in trou le.
8. Try not to fly in the tur ulence of your own wake or that of others, especially at low
altitude.
9. Except for collision avoidance, making a sharp turn against the torque effect during
steep clim s can e dangerous: you may rapidly stall and enter a spin.
10. Avoid downwind low flying: it drastically reduces your options.
11. Be sensitive to mechanical pro lems early. A noticea le change in engine tone or a
new vi ration may spell trou le. Land and check it out!
12. Remem er, not everyone enjoys your engine noise. Care must e taken when flying
near livestock.
13. Never take-off towards areas of potential rotor, towards trees or uildings on the
lee side of a hill.
14. Never touch any part of the propeller guard when the engine is running.
15. Always e aware of the weather, never fly if large cumulus clouds are rewing and
never fly in the rain.
17. Never fly elow the lee side of a hill, rotor is dangerous!!

WARNING!!! Use of the powered paraglider is at your own risk.
FITTING THE RADIATOR
Your Parajet Cyclone 160 paramotor and radiator will arrive unassembled. This is
the critical coolant system for the engine and must be installed correctly. Any
leakage will lead to engine damage.
Start this process before fitting the cage and propellers.
Parts:
Step 1
Mixing engine coolant.
A good quality anti freeze/summer coolant should be used and mixed to the
manufacturers recommendations.
In a separate container Mix up 2 litres of coolant/water solution ready for filling up
the machine. You will not require all two litres.
This should be decanted in to a convenient pouring device ready for filling up the
machine.
Jubilee Clip
Radiator Hose
Radiator Filler Cap

Step 2
With the Parajet Rotron Macro 160 paramotor stood upright orientate the radiator
so the radiator mountings line up with their corresponding mounts on the frame.
The radiator will only fit on in one direction.
Facing the propeller side of the engine (not the harness side), the filler neck of
the radiator will be on the left of the radiator.
Pass the tubular legs of the radiator through the plastic mountings in the frame
and firmly push on top of the radiator to locate it in its mounts.
