SKY 100
MANUAL

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.
