Warning: It is obligatory to check the working of the gas throttle each time
you want to start up the engine.
4. Priming & Starting the engine
Every time you want to start up the engine you must secure the gas throttle in such a way
that it will not be possible to turn it on by accident. You should also check whether the
carburetor throttle is not left ajar. In case you need to turn the engine off immediately, the
gas throttle should be placed in such a way that it is possible to reach quickly and easily for
the ignition switch. Engine should always be started on a secured rack or on your back to
minimize risk of injury.
4.1 Priming the engine
In order to insert fuel inside WB37 carburetor, you need to pressurize the fuel tank by
blowing into the fuel tank vent pipe. Delicately press the membrane through the special
opening in the carburetor’s cover. In this way you will be able to open the valve and enable
the flow of fuel. Watch as the fuel passes through the fuel line and enters the carburetor,
once the fuel enters the carburetor keep blowing for an additional second to ensure the
mixture is rich enough to start a cold engine. It is usually enough to estimate 1cm of fuel
passing though into the carb.
NEVER START THE PARAMOTOR WHILE STANDING ON THE GROUND, IT MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY & EVEN DEATH!
When you start up the paramotor, ALWAYS start on your back or on a secured rack.
Warning: All engine trials performed when the propeller is spinning must be
undertaken with utmost caution. On your back or using a specifically bench. You
must not hold the propeller’s cage! If you do this, the engine’s thrust might bend
the cage towards the spinning propeller. Always make sure the propeller’s cage is
properly mounted on the frame and is protected.
