1. Introduction
Congratulation on joining the Air Conception family! We know that you are a person who
embraces adventure, follows your passion and has found the beauty of flying as an
important component of life. We are happy that you decided to pursue your passion with our
equipment and are here to support you, as you progress through this journey into the sky!
We are pleased to welcome you as our customer.
1.1 Limitation of Liability
Remember! In certain circumstances, paragliding & paramotoring could be
extremely dangerous. An accident on the paraglider could result in severe
disability or even death. Paragliding & paramotoring is allowed only in weather
conditions that are not conducive to dangerous situations.
arning: The paramotor is only a device that supports the flight of the
paraglider. Thus, in case the engine stops working during the flight, you have to be
always prepared for safe landing.
You should never fly above reservoirs, vast forests or other areas where safe
landing is impossible when the paramotor’s breaks down, you lack fuel or you
experience other unpredicted situations. You should also remember that each
country has its own air traffic regulations. You should read existing regulations
before starting your flights in a given country.
If you want to paraglide with paramotor you must have a license, which can be
obtained by attending special training. Paragliding with paramotor without license
or third party insurance is forbidden. In some countries, you can take off and land
only on the areas specially designated for these purposes. Moreover, radio
communication is often obligatory. If you plan to paraglide get to know about
aviation areas in order to avoid the places where flying is forbidden.
Although we took all necessary precautions in order to provide you with the
equipment that is maximally safe and without structural and material defects, you
must be always ready for safe emergency landing. You should always keep
adequate altitude and distance margin that is indispensable if you want to fly
safely to the landing area.
The fact that the engine at work is extremely dangerous means that using it and
performing any operations with it is forbidden after drinking alcohol.
Air Conception paramotors are designed only for amateur use. They are not
designed for participating in sport competitions, aerobatics, or stunts. They are
neither designed for commercial purposes. e accept no liability for any financial
losses and lost revenues caused by the paramotor’s breakdown, waiting time for
repair and spare parts, as well as health and property damages incurred by the
third party.

2. Preparing the paramotor
2.1 Package content
The complete standard version of your Air Conception paramotor includes the following
items:
1. Frame with engine and harness 1 pc.
2. Propeller cage 1 set
3. Propeller 1 pc.
4. Propeller mounting screws 1 set
5. Optional cage bag & prop covers 1 set
6. Two batteries with one charger (e-start version only) 1 set
7. User’s manual on USB key or online link for download 1 pc.
The serial number of the propeller is on the inner surface of its hub and is visible when
separated from the paramotor.
The serial number of the engine is stamped on the casing.
2.2 First time paramotor assembly
2.2.1 Mounting of the propeller
The propeller is mounted with six M6 screws steel or titanium depending on model with
washers. The set of propeller mounting screws with the red aluminum washer (propeller
screw plate) can be found in the side pocket of the harness or in the a cage bag pocket.
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 8mm. In second stage, screws must be tightened
using 1 Nm torque. If the difference of the trail exceeds 8mm you should loosen the screws
and then tighten them cross-pattern 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
1 Nm.

2.2.2 Propeller cage mounting
Begin mounting the propeller cage by inserting 6 carbon tubes into the frame. Care must be
taken as they are 3 different lengths. Please check the following table to know the position
of each carbon tube on your frame.
Next, after stretching out the cage’s frame with the net, insert all 4 parts of the cage into
the carbon tubes. The next step is inserting the black C-clips that connect the cage directly
with the lower part of the frame. When all the elements of the cage are connected you
should tighten the netting by pulling the rope in the lower part of the security net. This is
designed to pass though the spring and pull back on itself. The last, but very important step,
is mounting three security Velcro bands, which prevent the cage from accidentally
unfastening. The velcro is there just to hold it closed 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 adjustments
Proper hang point and harness adjustment is necessary for maximum thrust at take off,
flying comfort, and ease of launch. This adjustment is ideally done with the all-up weight of
the pilot.
1. SUSPEND THE PARAMOTOR: It has to be suspended from the hang points with the pilot
sitting in the harness.
2. ADJUST THE HANG POINTS: Loosen the head screws on the black collets so that they can
move along the bars. The propeller axle should tilt slightly backwards as shown by the
following picture:
For the best torque compensation in flight, please place the black collet under the right
pilot arm 1 cm more forward than the collet under the left arm. When the adjustment is
done, tighten the collet screws.
arning: If you forget to adjust the harness or you do it improperly, it could
cause serious problems during the flight or it could even prevent you from taking
off.

3. Fuel
The two-stroke engine in your paramotor requires using oil-petrol mixture in 1:66 (1.5%)
ratio during regular usage and 1:50 (2%) when you break in the engine.
Attention: Remember to use only unleaded petrol with an octane rating minimum 91.
In order to correctly prepare the fuel-oil mixture, you should use a special canister.
Warning: You should not mix the fuel with oil in the paramotor’s fuel tank, especially if
the tank was empty before refueling.
You should only use two strokes synthetic or semi-synthetic oils. Try to find out
what oil grades are available and popular in the place where you live or in the area where
you want to fly on a regular basis. If you choose a particular oil grade try not to change it. If
it is necessary, try to change it as rarely as possible. The Nitro 2 and Tornado 28 engines
are not designed to work with marine or mineral oils!
Warning: Mixed fuel loses its properties with time. Do not use the mixture that has
been sitting for over a month. Try to plan the amount you will need for your flight and
prepare only as much mixture as needed. If you are going to store the paramotor for a long
time, you should empty the tank completely.
The majority of contaminations that get inside the fuel tank come from a contaminated
funnel. After filling the tank, petrol immediately evaporates from the funnel surface and it
leaves a thin oil layer. Dust and various small and big molecules stick to this layer. Some of
them get inside the fuel tank because they cannot be stopped by the filter. These
contaminations get into the tank during the next refill. That is why one of the most
important aspects of keeping the tank clean is protecting the funnel from dirt in between
refills. This task is very often neglected by the users.
e strongly recommend to pre-filter the mixture before pouring it into the tank.
Poor quality of the fuel or storing it in dirty containers are the most common causes of
engine problems.
arning: Fuels are extremely flammable liquids and their fumes are
explosive. You mustn’t use open flame while preparing the mixture, refueling or
when you are close to the place where you store it. You should handle fuel very
carefully. Do it only in well-ventilated places or in the open air.

arning: It is obligatory to check the working of the gas throttle each time
you want to start up the engine.
4. Priming & Starting the engine
Every time you want to start up the engine you must secure the gas throttle in such a way
that it will not be possible to turn it on by accident. You should also check whether the
carburetor throttle is not left ajar. In case you need to turn the engine off immediately, the
gas throttle should be placed in such a way that it is possible to reach quickly and easily for
the ignition switch. Engine should always be started on a secured rack or on your back to
minimize risk of injury.
4.1 Priming the engine
In order to insert fuel inside WB37 carburetor, you need to pressurize the fuel tank by
blowing into the fuel tank vent pipe. Delicately press the membrane through the special
opening in the carburetor’s cover. In this way you will be able to open the valve and enable
the flow of fuel. Watch as the fuel passes through the fuel line and enters the carburetor,
once the fuel enters the carburetor keep blowing for an additional second to ensure the
mixture is rich enough to start a cold engine. It is usually enough to estimate 1cm of fuel
passing though into the carb.
NEVER START THE PARAMOTOR HILE STANDING ON THE GROUND, IT MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY & EVEN DEATH!
When you start up the paramotor, ALWAYS start on your back or on a secured rack.
arning: All engine trials performed when the propeller is spinning must be
undertaken with utmost caution. On your back or using a specifically bench. You
must not hold the propeller’s cage! If you do this, the engine’s thrust might bend
the cage towards the spinning propeller. Always make sure the propeller’s cage is
properly mounted on the frame and is protected.
