WARNING
Paragliding/Paramotoring is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause
serious injury including bodily harm, paralysis and death.
Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that para-
motoring involves risks.
As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all
risks associated with its use. Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equip-
ment will increase these risks.
Ozone paragliders are only suitable for qualified pilots or those under in-
struction. This manual does not replace proper instruction. Make sure you
seek professional tuition and learn with a reputable school.
Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve para-
chutes that are free from modification, and use them only within their certi-
fied weight ranges. Please remember that flying a glider outside its certified
configuration may jeopardise any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have.
All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective
country and third party insurance.
Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experience.
Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather condi-
tions before you launch. If you are unsure do not fly, and always add a large
safety margin to all your decisions.
Avoid flying your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, and turbulent weather
conditions or clouds.
Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufac-
turer, distributor or dealers is excluded.
Be prepared to practice as much as you can - especially ground handling, as
this is a critical aspect of paramotoring. Poor control whilst on the ground is
one of the most common cause of accidents.
Be ready to continue your learning by attending advanced courses to follow
the evolution of our sport, as techniques and materials keep improving.
Make sure you complete a thorough daily and pre-flight inspection of all of
your equipment. Never attempt flying with unsuitable or damaged equip-
ment. Always make sure your engine is pre flight checked and warmed up
ready for flight. (See manufacturer's recommendations).
Always wear a helmet, ear defenders, gloves and boots.
If you use good, safe judgment you will enjoy many years of paramotoring.
Remember, PLEASURE is the reason for our sport

TEAM OZONE

Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our
passion for flying, our love of adventure and our
quest to see Ozone's paraglider development cre-
ate better, safer and more versatile paragliders.
Paragliding design is led by the ever thoughtful David Dagault; Dav
has a wealth of experience both in competition, adventure flying
and paraglider design. Also on the design team are Russell Ogden,
Luc Armant and Fred Pieri.
Russ is a top competition pilot and ex paragliding instructor, he can
usually be found putting Dav's latest creation through a series of
test manoeuvres. Luc, a dedicated XC addict has a background in
naval architecture. He brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to
the design team and works closely with Dav in the design proc-
ess. Fred is the latest addition to the team. He is a mathematian,
mechanical engineer and vol Biv specialist and works closely with
Dav and Luc.
Former female World champion, Emilia Plak manages the paramo-
tor department. She is helped by Mathieu Rouanet, former World,
European and French Paramotoring champion. They both offer
valuable advice and feedback throughout the development process
producing the perfect blend of safety, speed and performance.
Back in the office Mike 'Da Boss' Cavanagh generally keeps control
of the mayhem. Promotion and Team pilots are organised by Matt
Gerdes. Karine Marconi, Jill Devine and Chloe Vila make sure we don't
spend too much money and look after the ordering system.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave Pilk-
ington, who works relentlessly manufacturing gliders and producing
prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing proc-
esses for our future products. He is backed up by Khanh and 700
production staff.
