2. FOR YOUR SAFETY

Ø

In Germany, paramotor gliders are subject to the relevant civil aviation laws 
for aerial sports equipment exempt from testing (see in particular LuftVZO (Air 
Traffic Licensing Ordinance) §1 Para. 4 and LuftGerPV (Ordinance on Aircraft 
and Aeronautical Products ) §10a). Check the situation in your country.  The 
NAJA is intended solely for motorised use and may only be used by a pilot 
with a valid certificate of proficiency and connected to a propulsion unit which 
has been certified as compatible. Any attempt to fly is highly dangerous.

Ø

This manual does not replace the need to attend a paragliding school.

Ø

A paramotor glider may only be used for the purpose for which it is 
designed. It should only be used for free flying if it can also be shown to 
have type certification in accordance with the provisions of the rules of 
operation for paragliders (DHV, CEN etc).  Under no circumstances should it 
be used as a parachute.

Ø

Use of the paraglider is at your own risk. The manufacturer is not liable for 
any personal injury or material damage which occurs in connection with 
POWERPLAY paragliders. This applies in particular to injuries to the pilot or 
third parties which are caused by propeller parts or inflammable materials
(e.g. fuel). 

Ø

A specialist must test-fly the paraglider. The test-flight must be recorded on 
the paraglider information label.

Ø

Aerobatics are prohibited.

Ø

Flying with a wet canopy or when it is raining is prohibited; it may cause the 
glider to stall.

Ø

Do not under any circumstances alter the construction of your paraglider.  If 
you do, any claims under the warranty will not be accepted and the 
certification will lapse.

Ø

When you fly for the first time, make sure that you receive instructions from a 
flight instructor or an experienced pilot.

Ø

When flying, always wear a helmet, gloves, suitable clothing and shoes 
which protect your ankles. 

Ø

Only fly from approved flying areas and if the wind speed, direction and 
weather conditions allow a safe flight.

This manual contains additional information in various places concerning your safety. This information 
is indicated by two symbols:

Caution - accident risk

This  symbol  indicates  risks  which  may  arise.  If  possible,  we  also  explain  how  to  avoid 
the risk or how you should react if the situation arises.

Tip

This symbol is used when we give advice on correct handling of the paraglider, how to 
protect it from damage and general information.
