It is essential that you read and understand all of the following
safety guidelines - in addition to the warnings and instructions
contained within this manual - prior to using your Volution 3

The Volution 3 paramotor is to be used only after having
received adequate and proper training from a qualified
paramotor instructor.
The total weight limit of the Volution 3 paramotor is 352lbs
(160kg).
The Volution 3 paramotor should only be used with
paragliders designed for paramotoring and correctly sized
for the combined weight of the paramotor, pilot and cargo.
Pilots are seriously advised to fly the Volution 3 paramotor
with an adequate reserve parachute fitted. While wing
failures are very rare, a reserve parachute can save your life.
Pilots should always wear a helmet designed for powered

adequate footwear with good ankle support and gloves.
A pre and post flight check of your Volution 3 paramotor is
essential. Inspect and maintain your equipment as outlined
in the “Harness to Hub Safety Checklist” of this manual.
Before starting the engine, check immediate area near the
propeller for lines, ropes, clothing and anything that could
be caught in the moving propeller or drive pulleys.
Always warn any persons nearby before starting the engine;
Make it a habit to shout ‘Clear Prop’ in a loud and clear
voice.
The turning propeller can cause considerable damage and
injury. Be aware and stay clear of all moving parts such as
propellers, pulleys and belt. After prolonged engine use stay
clear of hot engine parts and exhaust muffler.
Before launching your Volution 3 paramotor check harness
and helmet buckles are fastened and secure. Also ensure
that the paraglider is attached correctly and that the
karabiners are fastened securely.
Do not fly low level over water, woodland, or potentially
hazardous landing areas. Do not fly into controlled airspace
or over built up areas, it essential always to consider a safe
landing area should you experience difficulty.
Always be aware of the weather. Conditions can change
rapidly. Never fly if large cumulus clouds are forming and
never fly in the rain.

3 paramotor within your known limits and capabilities.
