TAKEOFF
The pilot is supposed to absolve paramotor lessons in an official paramotor
schools and receive pilot licence for microlight category. The pilot is
responsible for familiarizing yourself with flying rules and law in his country
or flying destination. This manual is not a substitution of professional
paramotor course.
Make front start in front wind. Start to inflate the paraglider with your hand poised to
the sides and engine in idle revs. Check the canopy filling and line condition. Apply
full gas and run as fast as possible with your hands now above your head without
breaking the paraglider. Keep heading against the wind. When you reach the
takeoff speed, break the paraglider slightly and take off. Run until you fly. Do not sit
prematurely down into the harness and do not bounce to lift the canopy.
Release the breaks after take off and climb with full speed. This minimises the
danger of speed loss.
LANDING
Carefully check the landing place, possible barriers and wind direction. Do always
land against the wind.
Press and hold the engine switch off button on the throttle till the engine stops in
high min 10 m above the ground. Get off the harness in approx. 5 m above the
ground. Land normally on your feet. Run if necessary. Put the canopy on the
ground to avoid the contact with hot engine parts.
ENGINE TUNING AND MAINTENANCE
RUNNING-IN
There are two reasons, why is engine running-in very important:
1) correct operation check in all rpm types
2) warming up the engine and final settling of all its parts
Don’t use full gas during first 5 flying hours, except for the take off (approx. 1 min at
a time). Vary the rpm levels during first flights. After this your engine will be ready to
fly without any limitations. The revolutions will increase by 300 rpm.
