2.2 Assembling paramotor for the first time.
2.2.1 Mounting of the propeller.
The Octagon 190 paramotor’s propeller is mounted with six M6 screws according to DIN912,
8.8 class with ripp-lock washers. The set of propeller mounting screws with the aluminium
washer (propeller thrust) can be found in the side pocket of the harness. Propeller mounting
screws must be screwed cross-wide in two stages: first – using 6 Nm torque – then you
should check blade axial wobbling. The difference between the trail of both tips of the blade
should not exceed 2mm. In second stage, screws must be tightened using 10 Nm torque. If
the difference of the trail exceeds 2mm you should loosen the screws and then tighten them
cross-wide once again but this time using bigger torque on the side of the blade that sticks
out more from the engine. You should not use any washers under the propeller because they
can break off the screws that hold the propeller during the flight.
For mounting of the propeller use allen key 5. Tools are not included in the package.
You should not tighten the screws that hold the propeller by using torque bigger than
10 Nm.
2.2.2 Propeller cage mounting.
Delta propeller cage mounting.
We start to mount the propeller cage by inserting 6 carbon connectors into the frame. Next,
after stretching out the cage’s frame with the net, we insert all 4 parts of the cage into
connectors. The next step is inserting protections that connect the cage directly with the
lower part of the frame. When all the elements of the cage are connected you should
remove the wrap by pulling the rope in the lower part of the security net. The last, but very
important activity is mounting three security bands (Velcro), which prevent the cage from
accidental unfastening of the cage (you do not have to pull it very strongly)
After mounting the propeller cage you should once again check if it is correctly mounted
and protected.
It is recommendable to memorize the exact sequence of all activities.
2.2.3 Harness adjusting.
Adjusting of the harness consists of two steps. First, you adjust the harness with the
paramotor on your back. Second, you make final adjustments with the suspended paramotor
with fuel.
