HARNESS
The harness is a Sup’ Air harness designed specially for PAP and will give provide optimum comfort
during flights. Included: carabiners and automatic clips with safety closing. External articulate
extension board for additional leg support. Pulleys for speedbar system. Large Neoprene side
pockets. Emergency Parachute and Engine Rev Counter mounting system.
Even though all parts of the engine have gone through quality checks before being sent, we recommend
to check that the seat is correctly fixed to the frame, also check that the automatic buckles and
accelerator pulley are working properly (fig 08).

PROPELLER
If you do not have a torque wrench just tighten the bolts slightly
more than the maximum pressure.
Never Start The Engine
Without Propelleer Or Gearbox Fitted.
Its very important to check the propeller tracking. This is the
difference between the tips of the propeller on its path during
rotation. If the tracking of the propeller is occurs it means that
the propeller bolts may have been tightened asymmetrically. On
engines without clutch: Take away the spark plug so that the
propeller can turn easily. Turn the propeller, and make sure the tips of the propeller pass through the same axis during rotation.
IMPORTANT:
every time the propeller is fitted it is necessary too tighten the bolts before the next flight.
Check that the propeller is not
damaged fixed properly and turns correctly and smoothly. Listen for any unusual noises that might come from the engine or the gearbox.
SAFETY: always treat the propeller as if the engine was running..

SECURITY ON THE GROUND
THE BIGGEST DANGER IS ON GROUND so it is very important to get into a good
habit of checking the surrounding area is clear to avoid incidents/accidents:
Moving the engine: Always lift the machine using the strongest
and most stable part of the chassis. DO NOT LIFT OR MOVE USING THE CAGE.
NEVER START WITHOUT THE PROPELLER OR GEAR BOX.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for running in using the correct % of oil mix,
and always filter the fuel when filling the tank.
Only close the breather line valve when transporting the machine to prevent fuel
spillage. Otherwise this valve must be in the open position for flight.
Open – when the handle of the valve is inline with the pipe.
Closed- When handle of valve is 90° to pipe.
Make sure that there is nothing or no one around the area of the propeller during
starting and that you have placed the engine on a level surface and a mat to avoid
contact between the propeller and loose items on the ground. i,e small stones or sand.
Never turn the engine towards people, animal’s, paragliders
IF THE FUEL TANK DOES
NOT “BREATHE” THE
ENGINE WILL STOP.
