Page 7 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 starter rope is not tangled or jammed, and 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.
Page 8 Warning : All engine trials performed when the propeller is spinning must be undertaken with utmost caution. You mustn’t hold the propeller’s cage! If you do this the engine’s thrust might bend the cage towards the spinning propeller. Always make sure whether the propeller’s cage is properly mounted on the frame and whether it is protected.
Page 9 If in doubt, you should contact the service. 5.3 The run-in of the engine in the first hours of its exploitation. Warning : The Octagon 190 engine is equipped with WG-37 carburetor. This carburetor is extremely sensitive to the changes in the location of the screw regulating high Speed –...
Page 10 The run-in during the flight is divided into two stages: First stage involves making first take-offs and first flights maintaining the lowest possible speed. Maximum speed must not be reached unless it is absolutely necessary and it should take as short as possible. High altitudes are not advisable, but if necessary they should be reached in steps, making pauses while ascending in order to cool the engine.

Page 12 When the engine is hot, the temperature of some exhaust system parts may exceed C. Touching the engine, even by accident, may cause serious burns. The Paramotor with the OCTAGON 190 engine is to be used with 125cm or 130cm propellers.
Page 13 When the paramotor is running with a damaged, unevenly balanced or not correctly routed propeller, the gear unit components and rubber parts wear off very quickly. The gear unit damages due to the use of inadequate, damaged, unevenly balanced and incorrectly routed propeller are not covered by the warranty.
Page 14 Never perform maximum thrust test with the paramotor standing on the ground. If you want to do this put the paramotor with the turned off engine on your back and then turn the engine on. One of the most dangerous and unpredictable events during the flight is tearing off the parts of the exhaust system.
