Reserve parachute
SCOUT paramotor is equipped with a container for reserve parachute, but the reserve
parachute is not included!
Installing the reserve parachute into the
container under the seat is easy. Make sure
that the reserve bridle is always on the outer
side and nothing prevents throwing of the
reserve. Consult your dealer or instructor if you do not feel confident in proper installation.
Check our website (
) for a reserve parachute installation video
tutorial .
6 Motor break-in
The paramotor comes with brand new engine if not specified otherwise.
7 Harness setting
Hang-point setting
Do the harness adjustment and hang test before first flight.
The best position is 0-5 degrees reclined as measured on the propeller hub. Being reclined
more may be dangerous and makes paramotor less efficient. Being inclined forward may be
dangerous as paraglider brake toggles may get very close to propeller.
There are 4 holes on the standard weight-
shift bars. These holes are used for straps
that the main carabineers are attached with.
For pilots of around 85kg the best position is
to use the second and third hole, that is in the
middle.
Lighter pilots will need to move the hang
points to back, i.e. through the third hole, ore
third and fourth. Very light pilots may use the
fourth only.
Heavier pilots may need to move the hang
points to front, through the first and the
second for example.
There are 7 settings possible.
Picture on next page shows the position
of the holes on the bars.
