SECURITY ON THE GROUND
THE BIGGEST DANGER IS ON GROUND so it is very
important to get into a good habit of checking the surrounding
area is clear to avoid incidents/accidents:
Moving the engine: Always lift the machine using the strongest
and most stable part of the chassis. DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE
USING THE CAGE.
NEVER START WITHOUT THE PROPELLER OR GEAR BOX.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for running in using the
correct % of oil mix, and always filter the fuel when filling the tank.
Only close the breather line valve when transporting the machine
to prevent fuel spillage. Otherwise this valve must be in the open
position for flight.
Open – when the handle of the valve is inline with the pipe.
Closed- When handle of valve is 90° to pipe.
Make sure that there is nothing or no one around the area of the
propeller during starting and that you have placed the engine on
a level surface and a mat to avoid contact between the propeller
and loose items on the ground. i,e small stones or sand.
Never turn the engine towards people, animal’s, paragliders.

CHAIR
PROPELLER
The Sup ‘Air is designed specifically for PAP with a particularly lightweight fabric that
provides a similar comfort as the standard Chair while at the same time contributes to
lowering the weight of the equipment.. It comes with:
Carabineers and automatic closing anti-forget clips
Extendable carbon fiber plate inside which is bendable
Pulley for throttle,
Pre-installation for RPM meter and for parachute.
Security tape that serves to maintain the position of the Chair in case of rupture of the
anchor.
The torque setting for the propeller bolts is 1kg/m (10Nm). If you do not have a torque wrench just tighten the bolts slightly more
than the maximum pressure.
NEVER START THE ENGINE WITHOUT PROPELLEER OR GEARBOX FITTED.
Its very important to check the propeller tracking. This is the difference between the tips of the propeller on its path during rotation.
If the tracking of the propeller is occurs it means that the propeller bolts may have been tightened asymmetrically. On engines
without clutch: Take away the spark plug so that the propeller can turn easily. Turn the propeller, and make sure the tips of the
propeller pass through the same axis during rotation.
IMPORTANT: Every time the propeller is fitted it is necessary too tighten the bolts before the next flight. Check that the
propeller is not damaged fixed properly and turns correctly and smoothly. Listen for any unusual noises that might come
from the engine or the gearbox.
Torque setting wood proppeller 1,1 Kgm (11 Nm)
Torque setting carbon proppeller 0,8 Kgm (8 Nm)
