Paraprise Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi there, I have a question to the ones who are familiar with gear box / reduction box. Here is a link showing you a brand new gear box from HE Paramotores. (HE R125). Before I put it on the motor i was moving it a bit and heard a "klick" each round. How does this sound to you guys? Would think that this is o.k.? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9wOa1hyxDp7WEtnZXEtOFhMN0E/view?usp=sharing (hope video plays straight away) I would be very glad to get some insights from the technicians among you. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 My wife said "it's a cricket".....not very helpful. Clicks twice per rev. Does not sound good and I would query that with HE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 have you tried turning the pulley rather than the unit? it clicks top end and bottom could it be a valve to stop oil running out when upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thank you for reply / help. Here is my "old" gear box. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9wOa1hyxDp7ZEZCSm9mcW9lZUE/view?usp=sharing As you can hear - no "click-clack" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraprise Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I asked HE. They said, that everything is o.k. But to be honest: i doubt this. The first gear box broke after 45 hours. No warranty, no discount for the new one. What happened? The case has a crack as you can see on the picture. I am e bit frustrated. As I am new In this field I try to get as much feedback as possible. So again. Thanx for your help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 the new unit wont have had oil in like the old one so the noise could be different, if you shake the unit up and down does it make the noise? in the first video when you stop turning it the noise sounds like a bounce.

AndyB Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Is it a sealed unit, or can you take it to bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraprise Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I could take it into bits. BUT now, as it is new, I have 12 month warranty. So somehow I am forced to give it a try. But I am not very confident ; )) What I just found out: obviously there is no oil in the unit although I was promised that I will receive it ready to go ....

Paraprise Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sorry. I double checked. there is oil inside. I need to give it a try. Fan fact: HE told me that the warranty has gone since I opened a screw to check oil... Phhhuu... not very easy to get along with these guys.

Paraprise Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 So finally, tried to install the gear box. Result - das not fit .... it is a horror to work with HE Paramotores. I can only recommend not to choose this company: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9wOa1hyxDp7RlRvQUNYTDQ5Rkk/view?usp=sharing It is so frustrating... again 5 sunny days without flying. Thank you!
