When the paramotor is running with a damaged, unevenly balanced or not

correctly routed  propeller, the gear  unit  components and rubber parts wear  off
very   quickly.   The   gear   unit   damages   due   to   the   use   of   inadequate,   damaged,

unevenly   balanced   and   incorrectly   routed   propeller   are   not   covered   by   the
warranty. 

6. Pre-flight check-up and adjustments

6.1 Pre-flight paramotor check-up.

Checking up the paramotor before taking off includes obligatory propeller cage mounting
check-up   and   the   gas   throttle   performance   check-up.   The   propeller   check-up   means

controlling its mounting and checking for mechanical damages or cracks.

 

The propeller should rotate steadily, whistles or whizzes indicating blade damage should

not be heard.

 

Never put your hands into the propeller space when the engine is on, even if

the propeller does not rotate.

 Never turn on the engine without mounted and secured propeller cage.

 

Never leave the paramotor turned on without supervision, especially with the

gas throttle lying on the ground. If you step on it accidentally it may cause serious
injuries.

Check harness, tapes, joints and carbines. Check the condition of all rubber parts of
the   paramotor.   Check   all   the   accessible   screws   -   whether   they   are   not   broken,

missing, loosened. Check the engine power supply system, filter and fuel pipes –
whether there are no leaks that could lead to sucking-in the „fake” air.

Check   the  mounting  of  the   engine,   the   exhaust   system,  mounting  of  the   suction
murmur silencer, and pay special attention to the condition of rubber parts.

Check the propeller cage ropes, speed ropes and footstool. Make sure that starting
the engine will not cause sucking in other objects by the propeller – i.e. gloves, radio

cables, helmet or loose clothing parts. Make sure that turning the engine on will not
pose any threat to other objects or third party.

 

 Monitoring the engine technical state after each flight is strongly advised. By doing this

you can avoid mistakes during the pre-taking off rush and you can shorten the preparations.
