9 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

9.1 ENGINE FAILURE (BELOW THE ALTITUDE OF 200 m)

Choose suitable emergency landing area and land.

9.2 ENGINE FAILURE (ABOVE THE ALTITUDE OF 200 m)

Check the fuel level

If fuel is present try to regenerate the fuel supply by squeezing primer bulb

Try to re-start the engine

If engine cannot be re-started choose suitable emergency landing area and land.

9.3 FIRE

Switch off the ignition

Land immediately.

9.4 VIBRATIONS

If unnatural vibrations occur:

Adjust the engine RPM in such mode in which the vibrations are the smallest

Proceed to landing

If the vibrations are getting worse, immediately switch of the motor and prepare for forced landing

If vibrations are severe immediately switch of the motor and prepare for forced landing

9.5 UNUSUAL FLIGHT REGIME

Please consult paraglider manual. In general if the paraglider enters unusual flight regime release brakes completely and wait for recovery. (Standard and Performance gliders only)

9.6 USE OF EMERGENCY SYSTEM

Spare parachute - if applicable. If the paraglider is definitely out of control such as uncontrollable spin or any other major flight failure, switch off the ignition, grasp the emergency parachute handle by your hand, and throw it to the left and behind or in the direction of the spin. More info here:

http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/emergency_rescue_parachute.htm

10 COMMON PROCEDURES

Each paramotor has been tested in operation. All connecting elements have been examined carefully before the delivery. It is important to check and retighten all nuts of cylinder head and exhaust pipe after ground breaking procedure nuts and bolts are finally properly seated due to heat and vibration. The use of torque wrench is absolutely necessary.

10.2 FLIGHT POSITION ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEAT

Flight position adjustment of your seat must be carried out before the first flight. It is necessary to adjust the leg ( 2003 harness only) and shoulder strap lengths. Sitting position during flight is comfortable when slightly tilted backwards. It is recommended to suspend the assembled paramotor to simulate the flight position and to try the transition from sitting position to the suspended position used for landing.

The above-mentioned procedure will ensure an easy take-offs, comfortable flights and safe landings. In the flight position the angle between the propeller and vertical axis must be approximately 2 - 5º. Every pilot must adjust the flight position for his/her height and weight. See diagrams in section 23. Pease note that seat position can be fine adjusted in flight by means of tightening or loosening side straps. By pulling forward back of the seat moves away from the paramotor therefore shifting center of balance forward. The result is less of a recline and vice versa.

11 PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION

11.1 ASSEMBLY OF POWERED PARAGLIDER

SIMON XC, AIRWOLF, SPIDER, SUPERHAWK

Mount the left side of the cage. The bottom connection must be connected first (3) – insert connector all the way in. Connect top connector (4). Repeat for right side of the cage (1 and 2). If you have difficulties to assemble due to the tight fit, position your self to face the prop side of paramotor. Place one hand on frame and the other on the cage section near the top connector. Use your thumbs to guide the male and female connector together while pushing the connector together. Slide the top section of the cage on the four connectors (5,6,7, 8) – make sure these are all aligned when you do so. Connect the outside 2 connectors of the top frame to the side frames. (9, 10)

SIMON RR, SPIDER ELECTRIC

Mount the left side of the cage. The bottom connection must be connected first (7) – insert connector all the way in. Connect top connector (8). Repeat for right side of the cage (6 and 5). If you have difficulties to assemble due to the tight fit, position your self to face the prop side of paramotor. Place one hand on frame and the other on the cage section near the top connector. Use your thumbs to guide the male and female connector together while pushing the connector together.

Assemble top part of cage (1 and 2)

 

Slide the top section of the cage on the four connectors (10, 11, 12, 4,) – make sure these are all aligned when you do so. Connect the outside 2 connectors of the top frame to the side frames. (9, 3)

Attach comfort bars and secure all 12-frame connections by Velcro straps. (6 on each side)

Mount harness by square buckles on shoulder straps to the top of the motor frame and by square Maillon links to the comfort bars.

Assemble and attach the propeller to the large reduction pulley and secure it by four (six bolts for 3 bladed propeller) bolts.

Note: All square Maillon links should be positioned in such a way that if the lock loosens, gravity will keep the link shut.

Tighten the bolts by torque wrench in the order 1-3-4-2 or 1-4-2-5-3-6 for 3 bladed propeller. It is absolutely necessary to use torque wrench to ensure proper tightness! Refer to section 10.1 for proper values. Once done, turn the propeller manually once around to make sure the propeller is attached correctly and clears all parts of the cage or motor re-drive. Make sure that ignition if off when you do so.

Administrate pre-flight check of your assembled paramotor - visual control of all the bolts, houses, connections etc. is necessary. Look for cracks, loose bolts or parts, unusual discoloration or fraying etc.

Administrate pre-flight check of your glider. Follow Paraglider Manufacturer’s manual.

Attach paraglider - make sure the carabiners are locked. Secure the secondary straps from harness to the glider’s risers by means of Maillon links creating two independent connections.

Attach speed system by means of oval Maillon links.

Note: All Maillon links should be positioned in such a way that if the lock loosens, gravity will keep the link shut.

Attach rescue parachute. For more info on rescue parachute attachment see here:

http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/improvements/rescue_parachute.htm

IMPORTANT: Make sure the deployment handle is properly secured.

11.2 PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION OF ASSEMBLED AIRCRAFT

11.3 FILLING UP WITH FUEL

For proper fuel oil mixture see section 15

Make sure the purity of fuel is satisfactory.

Do not smoke while filling up

Use certified gas tanks only

Only fill the gas tank when the engine is off

Do not wear clothing that may produce static electricity

Use only funnel approved for gasoline

11.4 ENGINE START PROCEDURE

After finishing the overall pre-flight inspection, you can proceed to the engine start check. Remove all objects and loose items near the engine to prevent them from being drawn in by the propeller. Pay special attention to loose parts of your clothes. Do not start engine on soil or gravel as propeller will draw in small rocks and other particles and these will damage the propeller.

11.5 ENGINE START

Before starting a cold engine, it is necessary to prime the carburetor. Tilt machine 45 degrees to the carburetor side. The carburetor has a pump membrane opening at the bottom (Simon XC, RR) or at the side of carburator; plug this vent with your index finger before squeezing the primer bulb. Squeeze the primer pump several times until the fuel drips out of the air filter then remove your index finger. Wait until most fuel drips out. Tilt paramotor back.

WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE PROPELLER MOUNTED!!!

WARNING: Make sure that throttle lever or cable  on carburetor is not stuck in full throttle position. Check visually!

Electric start: 

Simon RR and XC: It is recommended to strap engine on as to keep propeller off the ground. If you need to start the paramotor on the ground place your left  foot on the bottom part of the paramotor stand, hold the paramotor frame with left hand, turn on master switch, yell "clear prop" and start the engine by pushing the start button.

WARNING: Never use thre hand that is holding the throttle to hold paramotor as well. 

Manual start: 

Airwolf: 

Grasp the recoil starter handle, place your right foot on the bottom part of the paramotor stand hold the paramotor frame with left hand yell "clear prop" and start the engine by pulling the cord.

Spider: 

  • Prime the engine.

  • Make sure the decompression valve is pushed in

  • Do a visual check of carburetor throttle lever - make sure it is in idle position

  • Pull twice with ignition switch in OFF position

  • Turn ignition switch position ON

  • Get good grip on paramotor

  • Push in throttle trigger by about 15 %

  • Pull start and immediately after engine fires release  throttle trigger to idle position

Decompression valve location:

After the engine start running, warm it up at idle revolutions for 2 minutes until it runs smoothly and responds to quick throttle changes.

Listen for any unusual sounds and vibrations. If any of these occur it is necessary to turn the engine off immediately and seek out the source of the problem. When the engine is running smoothly and is responding to quick throttle changes without delay switch motor off or proceed to take off procedure.

NOTE: In case of malfunction of the ignition on/off switch the engine can be switched off by secondary "ignition kill switch" located on battery box Simon XC, RR and Spider electric.

11.6 TAKE OFF PROCEDURE

Always launch into the wind, making sure that your path is clear of obstructions. Pay special attention to power lines.

Your take-off stance is the same as in regular paragliding launch. Hold the throttle assembly in your right hand putting it on over the right steering toggle. The A risers must be held at the link level (in their upper part) wedged between the thumb and lower part of index finger. Stretch your arms into medium position, with elbows bent 90 degrees, and check your position relative to the paraglider making sure you are exactly in its center axis in order to ensure symmetrical canopy inflation. To do so proceed slowly forward until the A lines are stretched, your position is correct when you feel an equal pressure on both sides. At the same time, make sure that you don't turn, otherwise you could hit your helper by the engine cage or snag a paraglider line. The canopy inflation is done with the accelerator in idle or 1/3 of a power position. Surge forward and feel the paraglider rising, When the glider is above your head, take a quick glance to make sure it is fully inflated and the lines are not tangled, keep moving without stopping, release the A risers, lower your brake toggles and gradually apply full throttle. If there is any problem such as the problems mentioned in section 11.7 – abort take off! Make sure that you continue to run, while taking quicker and longer steps, with your back upright, until you are lifted off the ground. To reduce the speed with which you have to run to attain lift-off speed of the glider, you may pull the brake toggles down when having sufficient speed to do so. This should be done according to the current wind speed and direction. This action will generate more lift and speed up your take off. For safety reasons, it is advisable to attain at least 10 meters of altitude, before trying let go of brake toggles or to drop speed system - footrest. Should the engine quit while you are taking off but still on the ground, quickly apply brakes (flare) and run out the take-off attempt.

Reverse inflation:

For reverse inflation, grasp the brakes - they should be located on top of the D risers. The right one with your right hand and the left one with your left hand. Hold the accelerator handle in your right hand putting it on over the right steering toggle. Your left hand should grab the front lines (A) of the right side of paraglider (the way you face it) and your right hand should grab the front lines (A) of the left side of paraglider. Make sure lines are free and not crossed from your hands to the canopy. Keep hands together during inflation to ensure even inflation of canopy. Perform reverse inflation, stabilize canopy overhead and turn 180 degrees clockwise. Make sure the paraglider is still fully inflated; you face into the wind direction and start applying power. If there is any problem such as the ones mentioned in section 11.7 – abort take off! On a windy day you will be airborne within a few steps and your climb will be much steeper. For safety reasons, it is advisable to attain at least 10 meters of altitude, before trying let go of brake toggles or to drop speed system - footrest. Should the engine quit while you are taking off, quickly apply brakes (flare) and run out the take-off attempt.

11.7 ABORTING TAKE OFF

Abort take-off if the following occurs:

- Paraglider suffers asymmetric collapse

- Paraglider leading edge folds down (frontal collapse)

- Paraglider is not properly inflated

- Engine cannot achieve max. RPM

- Other unanticipated problems

11.8 FLIGHT

Ascend – Increase power until you start gaining altitude and hold power at that level

Descend – Decrease power until you start loosing altitude

Level flight – Apply appropriate amount of power to fly at level

11.9 FLIGHT IN TURBULENCE

See the paraglider manual. Generally, decrease power to idle and apply 10% brakes to better pressurize canopy. IMPORTANT: Avoid lee (down wind) side of obstacles on windy days, as strong mechanical turbulence is always present there.

11.10 TURNS

See the paraglider manual. Generally: Pull right brake down to initiate right turn. Release right brake to resume straight flight. Pull left brake down to initiate left turn. Release left brake to resume straight flight. Safe brake range is from fully up position to chest level (beginner pilots) or waist level. (experienced pilots)

11.11 IN FLIGHT FUEL CHECK

Make sure you have sufficient height to perform in flight fuel check - 300 ft AGL minimum 

Loosen both shoulder straps and pull your arms out

Grab left comfort bar with both hands and turn your self 90 degrees to the left. 

Lean over the left comfort bar to take look on your gas tank

11.12 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND UNUSUAL FLIGHT REGIMES

See the paraglider manual.

11.13 LANDING

Approach the landing zone carefully, check for obstructions and direction of the wind. Always land into the wind if any. Press the OFF switch and hold it until the engine stops at the altitude of at least 30m over the ground. If engine does not stop immediately apply full power with the ignition switch being turned off. At 10 meters above ground, sit out of your harness and extend your legs with one foot forward, ready to run. Flare 1 m over ground. Touch down, turn 180 degrees and aggressively collapse the paraglider to prevent the contact of the canopy or lines with hot parts of the engine.

13 PACKING THE AIRCRAFT

PACKING THE CANOPY

After landing fasten the toggles to the risers by means of magnet snaps. Unfasten the canopy from the paramotor.

First arrange the rear lines, than the front ones. Next time the lines will not be tangled. Insert risers into two different cells.

Roll the canopy from the ears toward the center so that the overall width of folded canopy is approximately equal to the width of the pack.

Push the air from all channels. Fold the wing to make it fit in the pack. Do not pack too tight.

PACKING THE PARAMOTOR - ASSEMBLED

Close the gas tank with transport cap

Secure the paramotor against fall or damage

PACKING THE PARAMOTOR - DISASSEMBLED

Drain fuel from gas tank

Close the tank by transport cap

Disconnect the cage and comfort bars. Disassemble the prop if needed.

14 ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ENGINE

14.1 BREAK-IN OF THE ENGINE

Proper break-in of the engine is very important because of two reasons:

Check of regular function in all RPM modes

Proper warm-up of the engine and subsequent setting of all its parts

It is recommended to let the engine run on the ground in medium revolutions for 1 hour at first and to accelerate from time to time to the full output for 1-2 sec, and then to slow to medium revolutions again. Towards the end of this testing hour, let the engine run at full revolutions for about 1 minute. It is important to keep the mix ratio according to the table below. The engine will be ready for the first flight after this procedure.

It is recommended not to run the engine at the full output for a long time during the first flight 5 hours - use the full output for take off only (max 1 minute) and change the RPM during the flight itself often. After 5 hrs of flight time, the engine is ready for non-restricted use.

14.2 CHARGING BATTERY (Simon XC and RR only)

Paramotor should stored with battery fully charged. Charge your battery periodically - once a month even if the paramotor is not being used. This will improve the life span of the battery. The position of any switches does not effect the operation of battery charger. More info here:

http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/improvements/battery_charge.htm

14.3 FUSE (Simon XC and RR only)

The 10 A fuse  protects the battery from damage resulting from use of improper charger.

15 FUEL AND OIL

The engine manufacturer and the company WALKERJET recommend using 100 % synthetic TWO STROKE high quality oil such as BelRay HR1 or Amsoil in the proper mix ratio to allow for proper lubrication and to prevent carbonizing of combustion and exhaust chambers. See table below. It is recommended not to store the fuel mixture for longer than several days; the maximum storage time is 2-3 weeks. If the fuel mixture is stored for longer time, the oil can get debased and there is a risk of engine seize-up.

1 CARBURETOR SETTING – SIMON RR and XC, SUPERHAWK and AIRWOLF MODELS

The Wallbro carburetor supplied with all Airwolf, Superhawk and Simon RR and XC models is Model WB 32. It has 2 mixture adjustment screws - HIGH jet screw and LOW jet adjustment screw. The high jet is for high rpm adjustment, and the low jet is for low rpm adjustment. The high jet can be distinguished by the fact that is a T shaped screw, one that you cannot adjust by a screwdriver.

# 1 is a HIGH jet screw  

# 2 is a LOW jet screw  

# 3 is a screw that will fine adjust the length of your throttle cable - if you push the trigger and there is delay in power increase - turn this screw clockwise to shorten the cable action. 

# 4 is a cable stop that will rough adjust the length of your throttle cable 

To add more fuel into the carburetor during operation (enrich the mixture) one must loosen the screw. To restrict fuel and add more air (lean out the mixture) - one must tighten the screw. Note: The higher the altitude of operation, the leaner the mixture must be. Higher altitudes do not have as much air, and in order to have the power output necessary, the motor must be able to breathe. One can however seize the motor by leaning out the mixture too much. This is caused by too much air and not enough fuel to lubricate all the internal parts, resulting in excessive heat and subsequent seizure.

The following is the standard set-up that comes from the factory for sea-level operation: Low - turned counter clock wise 1/2 rotation from fully closed. High - Turned counter clock wise 3/4 rotation from fully closed. NOTE: Be gentle when turning both screws clockwise looking for closed position as excessive torque could damage needle seat at the bottom of each screw. It is advisable to run the motor rich at the above factory setting for the first 10 hours, regardless. This will ensure proper lubrication of all internal engine parts. 

After 1 hour of operation, this is the advisable procedure to fine-tune the carburetor:

PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION, AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE. 

For LOW screw handling improvement that will allow you to turn low screw by hand visit: http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/improvements/carb_adjustment.htm

Start with factory setting of HI and LOW jet screws. Again with LOW - turned counter clockwise 1/2 rotation from fully closed. HIGH - Turned counter clock wise 3/4 rotation from fully closed. 

Have someone help you to hold the unit - very important

Warm the unit up - approximately 2 min

Engage cruise control setting and start turning the low screw clockwise meaning tightening it 

Observe and listen to the rpm 

The rpm will start to increase as you turn in the screw and engine vibration will diminish. 

Once you have done that, run the unit for 3 minutes at 1/2 rpm. Take the spark plug out and check color. The color of the spark plug should be cinnamon brown. If it is lighter than that, you need to loosen the LOW screw by 1/4 revolutions and try this process again. If it is darker than that, you can afford to tighten the HIGH screw 1/8 of turn and repeat. The spark plug color is a good indicator as to how rich/lean your motor is running. If the spark plug color is gray or white, the mixture is too lean and needs to be richweed up. If the spark plug color is black, you can lean the mixture out. The engine is not going to be damaged by a mixture that is too rich, but it will get damaged if the mixture is too lean although running your engine rich produces more vibrations that in turn can crack your muffler bracket or "shake off" other parts.

To tune the HIGH jet following procedure is recommended:

Pick a day with no wind and thermals. 

Take off and gain 2000 ft AGL

Set cruise control to full power (this may not be possible unless you have installed the cruise control improvement as described here: http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/improvements/cruise_control2.htm   and set TTE to fly straight.

Loosen both shoulder straps and pull your arms out

Grab left comfort bar with both hands and turn your self 90 degrees to the left. 

You should now have access to the HIGH screw with index finger of your right hand.

Start turning HIGH screw clockwise, leaning out mixture, to the point when the rpm starts to decrease as you turn in the screw when this happens immediately turn the screw 1/4 counter clock wise as not to seize engine. This is the "Sweet Spot" where your Walkerjet Simon achieves most power end efficiency. 

Once you land take the spark plug out and check color. Again, the color of the spark plug should be cinnamon brown. If it is lighter than that, you need to loosen the LOW screw by 1/4 revolutions and try this process again. If it is darker than that, you can afford to tighten the High screw 1/8 of turn and repeat. 

15.2 CARBURETOR SETTING – SPIDER and SPIDER ELECTRIC

# 1 is a jet screw - should be adjusted 1 1/4 from fully closed.

# 2 is a idle screw - it should be a fully closed - turn clock wise all the way. This increases your idle and eliminates most vibration.

# 3 is a screw that will fine adjust the length of your throttle cable - if you push the trigger and there is delay in power increase - turn this screw clockwise to shorten the cable action. I actually use this screw to increase the idle so the engine is running at 5 % of power when the throttle trigger is released as I try to eliminate all vibrations.

 # 4 is a cable stop that will rough adjust the length of your throttle cable 

Troubleshooting Walbro 39 carburetor settings on Spider models:

Symptoms

Reason

Fix

Engine vibrates and idles slow

Idle screw (2) not adjusted properly 

Turn idle screw (2) clockwise all the way in. 

The idle RPM is too high and engine pushes while at idle

Throttle cable too short

Turn screw (3) counterclockwise till engine runs smooth but does not push while at idle. If this does not help the cable stop (4) may need to be adjusted - move it further away from the leaver

I start pushing the throttle trigger but the engine RPM will not start increasing until the throttle trigger is pushed in 1/3

Throttle cable is not adjusted properly - too loose

Turn screw (3) clockwise or move the cable stop (4) closer to the leaver

Engine does not run smooth 

The mixture too rich

Turn jet screw (1) 1/8 clockwise

Engine does not react quickly enough to follow fast throttle changes. The engine hesitates to accelerate fast enough.

The mixture too lean

Turn jet screw (1) 1/8 counterclockwise

Engine stalls when full power is applied

The mixture is way too lean

Turn jet screw (1) 1/4 counterclockwise

15.3 SPARK PLUG GAP

All models - Spark plug gap should be between 0.032 and 0.036 of an inch.

16 REDUCTION BELT TIGHTENING

Amount of the belt stretch between small and large pulley should range between 2 - 5 mm.

If you want to tighten the belt, loosen the bolt - part # 39 on Simonini engine parts diagram holding the large pulley shaft which is part # 38 on Simonini engine parts diagram . Turn the Allan key nut in the center of large pulley to set the right tightness of the belt by turning the eccentric shaft. Torque to 18 Nm.  Then tighten the bolt - part # 39 on Simonini engine parts diagram - to 24 Nm. 

17 PROPELLER

Always store the propeller in a dry place

Don’t expose the propeller to extreme temperature changes

Store the propeller in horizontal position – 2 bladed wooden props only

Don’t expose the propeller to unnecessary UV light (sunlight)

Check the propeller after each flight. Any small nicks must be treated with varnish to prevent moisture penetration. You can carry out minor repairs, using appropriate WJ dealer approved procedure. After the repair is finished, you must balance the propeller. Please, pay attention to the fact that any propeller repair carried out by the customer is not subject to the warranty.

Propeller should be rebalanced after every 50 hrs of operation or any time you notice increased in vibrations.

NOTE: Any adjustments or repairs carried out to the propeller by an unauthorized person can lead to serious consequence including but not limited to strong vibrations, propeller breakage and loss during flight, frame damage, reduction drive damage, other parts damage.

20 PARAMOTOR TRANSPORT

20.1 ASSEMBLED

Close the gas tank with transport cap

Secure the paramotor against fall or other damage

20.2 DISASSEMBLED

Drain fuel from gas tank

Close the tank by transport cap

Disconnect the seat, disassemble the prop (if needed) cage and comfort bars

It is recommended to use transport bag for protection

21 STORAGE

21.1 SHORT TERM

Close the tank by transport cap - and store paramotor in area with constant temperature

Turn the prop to horizontal position

Paramotor should stored with battery fully charged. First get hold of electronic multimeter that can measure electrical voltage in the 0 to 15 V range. Wal-Mart sells very nice handy multimeter for about 13 $ worth every penny. It is in the automotive section and it is yellow just in case you go looking for it. Once you have it measure the voltage on the charging connector. It can be anywhere from 0 to about 13.5 V. If it is 0 it may be because your fuse is blown. Replace it with 10 Amp fast acting fuse and re-measure. Got anything? If not, your batteries are completely dead which I doubt or you have a bigger problem such as broken wire inside the battery box. In most cases you will measure anywhere from 10 - 13.5 V  So if you are below 13 V put your battery pack on charger. What you want to do is check periodically as the voltage rise to find a point where the voltage will not increase anymore. It should be anywhere between 13 and 13.5 V. Once you see that voltage is not increasing anymore stop charging as overcharging batteries is not so good. Also remember that even with fully charged batteries the paramotor will not turn over unless the prop is mounted especially on the Simonini based units. The starter needs the inertia of prop to crank over the compression point.  Charge with charger provided. 

21.2 LONG TERM - WINTER STORAGE

Drain fuel from gas tank

Start the motor and run until at idle until it runs out of fuel

Drain the remaining fuel from gas tank

Turn the propeller to horizontal position – 2 bladed wooden props only

Store the paramotor in a dry and clean place with constant temperature

Paramotor should stored with battery fully charged. See charging procedure above.
