PARAJET VOLUTION 3 PARAMOTOR
OWNERS INSTRUCTION & SAFETY MANUAL
Brace the bottom of the paramotor
using your left foot, applying
pressure to the chassis.
Making sure your thumb is lightly
covering the kill switch, take the
pull-start handle in your left hand.
Bracing your right arm, pull the
starter cord upward quickly and
firmly. You may have to do this
several times before the engine
starts.
Electric Start Engines
Press and hold the start button on
the hand control until the engine
starts. Do not hold for longer than
10 seconds. Once the engine has
started release the start button
immediately.
Kill the Engine
Allow the engine run on idle for
60 seconds without applying any
throttle. Shut off the engine by
holding down the kill switch on the
hand control until the engine has
completely stopped.
Getting into the harness
Before getting into the harness,
attach hand control to the pivot
arm, loosen the shoulder straps and
ensure leg, waist and chest buckles
are unfastened. Ensure straps are
untangled and positioned to aid
you in locating them once in the
harness.
Drop onto your knees with the
harness behind you. Shuffle
backwards until the seatboard is
pressed against your upper legs.
Fasten both leg straps using the
quick-release buckles. Slip both
arms into the shoulder straps before
fasthening the waist and chest
straps.
Lean forward onto both hands.
Bring your left knee to your chest so
that your foot is flat on the ground.
Repeat the same with the right foot,
using your hands to steady yourself.
Keeping your body tight, straighten
yourself upright while driving
through your heels, keep the balls of
your feet on the ground as well, until
you are in the standing position.
Tighten the shoulder straps using
the handle loops until the straps
are a snug fit, but not over tight.
To confirm correct adjustment
squat down into the harness
- the seatboard should deploy
automatically.
Warming up your paramotor
Before starting the engine it is important
to carry out the Six Point Check ensuring
your harness and helmet buckles are
fastened and secure. Also ensure that the
paraglider is clipped-in correctly and that
the karabiners are fastened securely.
Run up your Volution 3 paramotor as
instructed below to ensure that the engine
and transmission are warmed up correctly
and to ensure continuous reliability in the
future.
Unfasten the hand control from the
pivot arm and attach it to your right
hand using the velcro strap.
Check your immediate area in a
360 degree arc to make sure any
persons are at a safe distance.
Always warn any persons nearby
before starting the engine; Make it a
habit to shout ‘Clear Prop’ in a loud
and clear voice.
Making sure your thumb is lightly
covering the kill switch, start the
engine using the pull-start handle
or by pressing the start button if
your engine is fitted with an electric
starter. Allow the engine run on idle
for a couple of minutes without
applying any throttle.
Place a foot out in front of you to
brace yourself against while gently
accelerating and with varying
power output intensity. Run the
engine in this way for five minutes to
ensure the engine reaches optimum
operating temperature.
The turning propeller can cause
considerable damage and injury. Be
aware and keep persons at a safe
distance. After prolonged engine
use stay clear of hot engine parts
and exhaust muffler.
NOTE:
During your first flights or for
the first 20 litres of fuel we suggest not
keeping the engine at the maximum
RPM for extended periods of time. We
suggest varying the engine’s RPM and
utilising the entire rev range. This running
in procedure should be carried out every
time you change one of the following
parts: piston, rings, cylinder, crankshaft or
main bearings.
