Product catalog summary
Introduction
This manual provides guidance on the safe handling of the Simplify paramotor, covering equipment handling, motor functioning, maintenance, and drive handling. Technical specifications are subject to change, and maintenance should be performed by specialists. Usage is at the owner's risk.
Flight Safety
The manual emphasizes the importance of familiarizing oneself with the paramotor to enhance flight safety. Compliance with legal regulations and staying informed about flight safety notices is crucial. Registration of purchase is recommended for updates and warnings.
Operating Limits
The Simplify X1 paramotor is tested under German legal conditions. Flying is not recommended in adverse weather conditions such as rain or high winds. Modifications void the warranty and operating license. The paramotor is designed for single-seat use only.
Emergency Procedures
In emergencies like strong turbulence, use descent techniques learned in training. Practice landing without engine thrust for safety.
Propeller and Assembly
The paramotor can use wooden or carbon propellers, with approved types listed in the technical specifications. Noise measurement reports are included in the manual.
Wooden Propeller Assembly
Assemble with six screws on the transmission flange, tightening diagonally with 10 Nm using a torque wrench.
Mounting 2-Blade Carbon-Propeller
Assemble with the type label facing out, tightening bolts diagonally with 12 Nm using a torque wrench.
The Throttle
The throttle should be secured in the right hand using the loop. Test the engine stop function before each flight. It can be mounted on either side of the frame.
Refuelling – Gasoline & Oil
Use a gasoline-oil mixture with Castrol Racing 2T and 98 octane gasoline. During the run-in phase, add 4% oil, later 2.5%.
Carburetor
Pump the gasoline-oil mixture using the side-mounted ball pump. Do not adjust factory settings to avoid motor damage and warranty voidance.
Pre-Flight Inspection
Check the cage installation, propeller screws, stop switch, and fuel mixture before flight.
Starting the Engine
Do not start on the ground. Ensure the throttle grip is in zero position and start with a strong pull without gas, followed by a warm-up phase.
Technical Specifications
The Simplify X1 features a 102 cc motor with 20.4 HP at 9200 RPM, a centrifugal clutch, and a 12 L fuel capacity. Recommended pilot weight is 50 – 80 kg.
Tightening Torques
Specific components have designated tightening torques, such as 10 Nm for wooden propellers and 40 Nm for the central screw.
Cleaning & Care
Clean after each flight using brake cleaner spray. Store in a dry place with the Simplify covering for protection.
Inspection, Maintenance & Repairs
Regular checks include inspecting the cage, propeller, and fuel system. After 10 hours, check the fuel filter and exhaust system. After 50 hours, replace the engine mount and spark plug.
Disposal
Environmentally friendly disposal is available through certified service partners or authorized sites.
Maintenance and Repairs
Use only original parts for minor repairs. Inspections by the manufacturer or authorized service partner are required after 100 flight hours or 12 months to maintain warranty.
Fan Belt Maintenance
Regularly check and tension the fan belt with a torque of 7NM.
Warranty Information
The paramotor has a 12-month warranty from purchase, requiring activation via a warranty card or online. Claims need proof of purchase and a complete flight book. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship but excludes shipping costs and unauthorized modifications.
Spare Parts
Only original spare parts should be used, available from dealers or the manufacturer. A spare parts list is on the manufacturer's website.

The motor is powered by a gasoline oil mixture. Please only use Castrol Racing 2T with 98 octane premium gasoline. For the run-­‐in phase (first tank fuelling) add 4%, later 2.5% oil to the gasoline....
