1. Preliminary You will need the following items to set up your Mistral 5 with paramotor risers (Fig. 1): 1. Paramotor risers for Mistral 5. We have developed paramotor risers specifically for the Mistral 5. These are very different from paramotor risers for other models of paraglider. A quick-link with an O-ring is attached to the right-hand B-riser.

Fig. 2: risers hanging up Check that you have the correct pairs of riser hanging up together before you start to change them over. You have done this correctly if the brake pulleys are facing in the same direction (Fig. 3). Standard riser with Paramotor riser with lines...

2.1. Transferring the A quick links Start with the lines on the A1 riser. Open the quick link (Fig. 4), remove it from the riser (Fig. 5) and hang it on the A1 riser of the paramotor riser, facing in the same direction (Fig. 6). Fig.

2.3. Transferring the C2 quick link The C2 quick link is transferred in the same way to the A quick link. When you have swapped over the C2 quick link, all of the rigging lines will be on the paramotor riser. Only the brake line will still be on the standard riser (Fig.

Fig. 16: Brake line in upper pulley Then make a loose knot in the brake line at the mark (behind the pulley, see Fig. 17). Now attach the brake handle to the brake line again. To do this, feed the brake line through the loop on the brake handle until just before the knot (Fig.
Page 7
When making the knot, take care that the brake line is the same length as it was before. The brake line must not be shortened. You have now changed over the first riser. All of the lines should now be on the paramotor riser, none of them twisted and all of the quick link openings should be facing inwards (away from the brake pulley).
