BEFORE STARTING IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO A
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
Check the tightness of all bolts and screws on the engine.
Nothing should be loose in flight as it can come off and go through the propeller causing extensive damage.
Check the welding especially where the engine is fixed
Check that the safety net is fastened tightly, and that the paragliders speed trim system does not have spare lines hanging, as
these can get into the propeller.
Check the condition the anti-vibe rubber mounts
After flying, clean the engine and the propeller with a cloth (it’s the best way to find anomalies)
ENGINES
At PAP we are currently working with 4 different engine manufacturers, which permits us to have a complete range of engines
to suit all needs. Every manufacturer provides information for periodical checks of their own engine. For more info check on our
website or contact the closest dealer.
SECURITY TAPE TO LOCK THE PROPELLER IN THE COLD START.
A new security measure to avoid the possibility of the engine falling towards
us when starting in cold giving gas.
We start with the covers of the propellers on, as the tape has been stitched
on to the covers and its function is to block the propeller should we not give
enough gas when the engine of transmission with centrifugal clutch. Has
already started.
This security measure is intended above all to minimize risk and nerves of those
who are new to the paraengine and aren’t familiar with the manual startup.
It is a good option to get used to using this system which would also block the
propeller in case we do not notice that the roulette of the gas lever is blocked
photo(1) or that the gas lever does not return correctly
(remember that it
is very high importance to methodically perform these checks before
starting)
We must fix the Ribbon on the principal outside ring of the frame so that the
propeller moves as little as possible See photo. Remind you that all engines
with centrifugal pivoted clutch turn to the right depending on the position of
flight.
There are other techniques that exist in the world of the paramotor for long
time for this purpose. We have incorporated it as simple and efficient without
using other elements.
Avoid the gasolina 95 E10.
Use only gasolina without lead 98
