Drones require responsible operators that keep safety as top priority, and to keep your drone safe you will need
to maintain it properly. Drones require regular maintenance and frame and motor care.
1. Clean everything regularly and use a high-quality anti-corrosion fluid such as Corrosion X and apply Silcone
Grease to the GPS lid seals to maintain the waterproof integrity.
2. Remove Quadcopter battery and place in re-proof pouch or container and store in a cool environment –
Never store the LiPo batteries at full charge – Read the section on batteries.
3. After use, carefully inspect all propellers. If a propeller is damaged (Even slightly damaged) - replace the
propeller immediately. Do not attempt to fly the aircraft with a damaged propeller as this can cause the
aircrafts stability to deteriorate or become unmanageable, resulting in the potential loss of the drone and/or
causing personal injury.
Care and Maintenance
Saltwater exposure care
We do not recommend intentionally exposing your craft to saltwater, but this is acceptable if you follow the
after-salt exposure steps carefully.
Even if you did not land the quadcopter in water, salty air and spray can cause corrosive actions. After flight
remove the propellers and submerge each motor momentarily in fresh warm water. Thoroughly rinse the
quadcopter off with fresh water and dry but take care not to get any water inside the drone. Where possible
clean the drone directly after use or within 2 hours before crystallization occurs.
After direct salt-water exposure, completely rinse the craft with fresh water, preferably before salt
crystallization occurs. Rinse motors with fresh water completely and if possible, submerge each motor in fresh
water and agitate. Wipe down the drone and motors and stand drone vertically and allow it to dry out in a warm
area.
Once the drone is completely dry treat the motors and bait release with an anti-corrosion fluid such as
Corrosion-X. Treat external battery terminal with anti-corrosion fluid also.
Salt water will always start corrosion somewhere – Use a quality corrosion and water displacement spray that
does not gum up such as CorrosionX.
