brake handles to the brake lines. Both brakes should be the same length and this can be checked by asking an
assistant to hold the upper end of the brake lines together whilst the pilot holds the brake handles. The brake
lines should be just slack with the wing inflated when the brakes are not applied. After checking the brake
lines lay them on the ground.
4. Always check the riser maillons and the attachment points to the paramotor frame or buggy. It is strongly
recommended to use a safety strap.
5. Before getting into the harness you shoule be wearing a good crash helmet. Put on the harness ensuring all
the buckles are secure and properly adjusted for comfort.
6. Check that the trimmers are closed and maillons at the same height – the position recommended for take-off.
SAFETY NOTE: Take care to protect yourself and other people from the propeller. Always start your motor up at
a safe distance from other people. If it touches the ground it can fire objects into the air which could injure people
several metres away.
Remember there are inherent risks with petrol, oil and volatile or flammable materials.
