Safe flying rules Observe UL aircraft regulations. Do not overestimate your pilot skills and never show off. Use open areas for emergency landing training. Watch the weather forecast carefully. Do not plan long flights, when storms, fogs or frost are forecasted. Watch fuel level (flight time and real consumption).

OPERATING LIMITATIONS Speed Given by speed range of the canopy used. Wind speed According to canopy used. Do not take off and land with back wind. Driving unit limitation Mode max. revolutions allowed 13000 rpm for max.. 5min at a time max.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Engine failure (in height up to 200 m) lead the MPG into free flight in low height, land in the line of flight – try to avoid any barriers if you are high enough, land into an open area without any barriers, against the wind if possible Engine failure (in height over 200 m) lead the MPG into free flight...
NORMAL PROCEDURES All engines are tested before handover for about 10 min. We gave special attention to all joining components. All screws nuts and rivets were carefully tightened and secured by Loctite. It is important to check and tighten all screws on the cylinder head and exhaust system after approx.

Engine Release the petrol tank cap to allow equalization of a pressure in the tank. Tighten the cap again. Battery Insert charged battery (in the protective case) in the battery case in the laminate part. Check the main starter switch. It should be OFF. Then connect leads and close the battery case.
ENGINE TEST When starting cold engine, repeatedly pres the petrol pump, until petrol comes out through the air filter. Remove all small objects, which could be possibly drawn in by the propeller, from immediate proximity of the paramotor. Loos parts of your (and long hair) are equally dangerous. Nobody must stand dangerously close to starting engine, especially not in the propeller’s plane of rotation.
TAKEOFF Make front start in front wind. Start to inflate the paraglider with your hand poised to the sides and engine in idle revs. Check the canopy filling and line condition. Apply full gas and run as fast as possible with your hands now above your head without breaking the paraglider.
FUEL AND OILS Solo and NIRVANA recommend using fully synthetic Castrol TTS in correct oil- petrol mixture, which prevent combustion chamber and exhaust carbonisation. Do not store mixed petrol longer than few days, max 2 – 3 weeks. You can mix Castrol TTS with leaded or unleaded petrol. However leaded petrol is preferred.
REDUCTION BELT TENSIONING Reduction belt should not have more free play than 5 mm, but not lower than 2 mm. Loose the reduction upper pulley screw (Nu: 040812) and using imbus key o 6, turning excenter stretch a reduction belt. Properly tighten reduction upper pulley screw.
FAULTS AND SOLUTIONS Fault Indication Solution flooded engine the engine does not start without the gas, running, does not give a spark repeatedly (5x) try el. starter If it still does not start running take out the spark plug and dry it. Without the plug, turn prop 3 turns in normal direction of rotation.
TRANSPORTATION RULES Completely assembled disconnect the battery the engine must be supported by the fuel tank and the frame all the time. It must not be supported just by the frame. if you need to secure it during transport only strap down the laminate part, never try to secure (strap down )the MPG by the cage check, that it can not tip over Dismantled...
