Installing the foot-rest. PARAMOTEUR EVO The PARAMOTOR EVO is pre-equipped to accept a foot-rest. The foot-rest relaxes leg tension, and brings additional support, thus enhancing piloting experience. Fasten and adjust the foot-rest with the metal buckles found on either side of the seating area.
Installing the optional accelerator. PARAMOTEUR EVO The PARAMOTOR EVO is pre-equipped to accept an accelerator ( Speed-Bar ). Most accelerators found on the market today are compatible with this harness. Within the SUP’ A IR accessory line, the standard Speed-bar is the most adapted for being lighter and designed with a recoil system.

Posture adjustments. PARAMOTEUR EVO The complete installation + test procedure must be conducted before the first flight, under a hang-test apparatus. These steps are important to ensure a correct seating posture, unobstructed viewing to on- board instrumentation, and easy strap adjustments Chest strap tightening adjustment.
Pre-Flight check. PARAMOTEUR EVO Conduct a thorough pre-flight check before each takeoff ( see Preflight checklist ). • Check that neither harness nor carabiners are damaged in any way. • Check for the (optionnal) front parachute pocket to be properly closed and secured in place.
Takeoff PARAMOTEUR EVO Takeoff is intuitively executed. Once air borne, the transition to seating is easily made. If the sequence is a tad difficult : raise your knees, and push with your shoulders on the risers while twisting the hips back and forth ! Another tip, is to tight Never grab your harness with brakes in hands to push yourself inside the seat.
PARAMOTEUR EVO In flight Once air borne, the harness behaviour is very instinctive and precise. When used in PG ( Paragliding ) mode, adjust the chest strap based on the weather conditions you will be flying in, and according to the wing manufacturer’s recommendations ( generally, the distance from the middle of the right carabiner to the middle of the left carabiner has to be 38 to 45 cm) In PPG ( Powered Paragliding ) mode, the stability is enabled via the spacing/width of the PPG frame itself.
