Preface:
The information in this manual focuses on using BlackHawk 125 Lite and Talon 190 motors, but the
mechanical principals and maintenance techniques that we are using with our engines could be applied
to other manufacturer’s engines as long as you have those specific engine settings for what we are
discussing in this manual. If you’re a novice with motors, then 2 stroke motors can seem like they are
notorious unreliable. Any expert would disagree and say that is because you just do not understand
them. The goal of this manual is to help give you that basic understanding so that you have the most
fun with your Paramotor. We understand that not all Paramotor enthusiasts are mechanically inclined,
and that is why we have tried to explain this information in a straight forward and simple way. Is there a
more complicated way to explain this information to you, of course there is, but it’s not necessary.
One thing to keep in mind, as you become familiar with your Paramotor you will begin to understand
the characteristics of your engine, what it sounds like and how it feels as you rev your engine through
the different RPM ranges. Understanding the feel and sound of your engine as it operates normally is
important, this is quickest way to determine if something is changing with how your engine performs. If
something does not feel or sound right as you perform a pre-flight engine check, then do not fly. The
last thing you want is for your engine to fail while you are in flight.
We will say this multiple times throughout this manual as we want to make sure you understand -
BlackHawk is not accountable or responsible for the engine work that you perform on your or any other
Paramotor engine. If you damage your Paramotor while you are performing the work on it, then you
are accountable for the damage. If you feel you are not qualified to perform the work, then please
contact us or a qualified BlackHawk Dealer for assistance.
