3 IMPORTANT NOTICES * * C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S * * Thank you for choosing an excellent paramotor. Please take the time to read this manual carefully, with this manual we will try to give advice on the maintenance and operation that will help you have a reliable paramotor and to preserve your investment. Furthermore, we invite you to give this manual with the paramotor if you sell it, so it can be useful for the next owner as well. The manufacturer and the resellers are ready to answer your questions and, if necessary, to solve problems, because the safety of yourself and the others is the most important thing for us. When you will receive the motor, it will already have overcome a test of 1 hour in the factory, verifying the operation of all the components and the operation to every speed. All the paramotors are tested before the delivery. We reserve the right to change specifications, components, details of the motor, in relationship to the model in production without incurring in some obligation. The reliability, the performances and the duration of your paramotor will also depend on your understanding of the correct maintenance and operation of the engine. This manual describes the paramotor, its installation, use and control. This PPG is not covered by product liability insurance. Do not start it or fly it unless you are willing to assume all risks inherent in the sport of Powered Paragliding and all responsibility for any property damage, injury or death which may result from the use of this product.
4 You must be aware that any engine can fail and breakdown at any moment, this could lead a landing in less than ideal areas with the possibility of injury to the pilot or other people. Any powered paramotor must only fly in permitted areas, and never to fly low above a crowd of people. Inhabited zones, water, and areas that are difficult to land should be avoided, always remember that the engine could stop. Some atmospheric conditions can cause the engine to perform differently than normal. Before beginning every flight, you must test the paramotor on the ground. Start the engine on a flat surface that is free from stones, sand or small parts that could be sucked in by the propeller. Be sure any persons nearby are well clear off the thrust from the propeller and not near the propeller at any time the motor is running. A good safety distance is 50 meters for all directions of projection of the propeller and 20 meters for the others directions. Do not use a paramotor that has not been correctly maintained or not been used for some time, or if you know that is not in good condition. The use of not original spare parts can make the paramotor dangerous and immediately voids the warranty. Changes to the reduction or propellers can reduce safety and reliability of the aircraft. Before every use or test, check the condition of the propeller and the torque of bolts of the propeller. If the propeller is damaged do not use it, this can lead to a breakup of the propeller in rotation or to strong vibrations that will transmit to the motor and may cause damage or loosen bolts or components. Never use the motor without propeller or without reduction drive.
5 ASSEMBLING OF THE PARAMOTOR FRAME The frame consists of: - a.) central module - b.) cage - c.) 2x long supports - d.) 4x middle supports Top position: Middle position: Bottom position: long supports middle supports middle supports Assemble the complete cage and close all velcro straps
6 Insert assembled cage first in top position after that insert middle and bottom position. Close bottom velcro straps on both sides. Close netting with carabineer on both sides.
7 ASSEMBLING OF THE HARNESS AND THE DISTANCE BARS Harness has to be connected with the special buckles. Connect harness with both buckles to the frame.
8 Fix the distance bars with the nut. Distance bars are moveable vertically and horizontally. Fix the shoulder strap correctly to the harness.
9 ADJUSTING OF THE HARNESS The best way to familiarize yourself with the harness and your personal flying position is to use a simulator. Sit in the harness and adjust the shoulder straps correctly. The weight should be constantly shared on the shoulders. Find your seat position and adjust the straps accordingly to sit relaxed. The shoulder straps are adjusted depending on pilot weight. The flight position is optimal when the propeller shaft line is 5 to a maximum of 10 below the horizontal line. horizontal line propeller shaft line
10 ASSEMBLING OF THE PROPELLER On the MOSTER paramotor can be mounted a wood or carbon propeller Mount the propeller with the six M6 screw with a torque of 10Nm. Please use only original propellers otherwise you lose your warranty.
11 ASSEMBLY INSPECTION It is very important to fully inspect the assembly of your paramotor to find and remedy any potential problem areas before proceeding. The inspection should contain, at a minimum, the following items: Review each assembly step above Examine all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for security Check the harness for correct mounting, that all straps are secure, that there are no twists on any straps Examine prop cage for correct assembly, that it is strong, the netting is tight and on the correct side Check that nothing can get in the prop. The prop should clear the cage by same distance at all points. Check the fuel tank and fuel delivery system. Check for correct mounting of prop, and correct torque of prop bolts.

14 CARBURETOR FUEL AND OIL IMPORTANT INFORMATION We recommend using super gasoline and full synthetic oil (Castrol TTS) at 2,5%. Mix fresh fuel and oil before each flying session. Store your fuel/oil mixture in an approved, sealed container. Dispose of fuel/oil mixture that is older than 1 month. During running in we recommend using 3.0% oil mixture and use only full power during starting.

25 DIAGNOSING AND STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE A flooded engine can be identified by the smell of unburned gasoline coming from the exhaust pipe, or by periodic weak firing and puffs of black smoke during starting attempts. If you have a flooded engine, follow the procedure below: Remove the spark plug and thoroughly dry it. (Note another indication of a flooded engine is a spark plug that is dripping with gas). With the spark plug removed push the starter button for a few seconds while holding the throttle in the full-open position. This will remove excess fuel from the engine. Install the dry spark plug, and start using the normal procedure. WARNING! Ensure you have placed the spark plug cap away from all fuel sources before pulling the starter cord or a fire could occur! WARNING! Do not use a flooded engine procedure whereby you hold the throttle wide-open and then attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts, the prop would rapidly spin to full RPM and damage or injury would most likely occur! ENGINE PROBLEMS DIAGNOSTIC REASON REMEDY The engine doesn t start Out of petrol Add petrol Petrol doesn t reach the carburetor Check the fuel system circuit Old or wrong petrol Empty the tank and the fuel system circuit and replace the petrol Flooded engine Remove the spark plug, start the engine, dry or replace the spark plug.
