Cleaning the drone

It is important to clean the robot after a flight in a dusty or dirty environment. To do so, use compressed air

from an air blow gun or gas duster can. If necessary, Isopropanol alcohol can be used to clean the cage and

any surface of the robot. Apply gently with a toothbrush or a rag.

Avoid the use of water, as this may damage the electronics.

LED lights

Take special care of the onboard lighting system. Accumulated dust or other dirt on the LEDs’ surfaces will

reduce the lighting capacity of Elios.

Motors

Pay special attention to the motors. Dust or other particles may damage the motors if allowed to build up

inside. Use Compressed air to remove all dust and particles from the motors, regularly check for dust ingress

in between flights, especially in a metallic dust environment, as this will stick to the magnets of the motor.

IF YOU BLOW COMPRESSED AIR ON THE MOTORS, PLEASE WEAR GLOVES AND

HOLD THE CORRESPONDING PROPELLER. THE AIR FLOW MAY MAKE THE

PROPELLER SPIN FAST DAMAGING THE MOTOR AND INJURING THE USER.
