Maintenance Manual 

V,. ~ 2015.2 

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, 

it is recommended thatcomprehensive maintenance be performed after every 200 flights or 50 

flight hours.This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued 

reliability. 

I. Checking the Battery 

1. Check the ballery for tlamage and deformities. If 

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop 

using it antl discharge the baltery to 10% or below 

for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any 

reason. 

2. Check the baltery pins and rub lhem clean with an 

eraser it any residue is observetl. This will help to 

ensure a more reliable connection. 

3. Check the metal battery power connectors for 

damage. If the conneclors appear burnl, try to clear 

them. This can be done by inserting a piece of 

sandpaper (1mm thick) into the connectors to polish 

the metal. 

4. Check the contact pins in the batlery companment to 

ensure Ihatthe pins are clear. They should be able 

to establish easy contact with the ballery connectors 

and should not be bent. 

5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear 

burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If lhere is serious 

erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 

6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket 

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are 

secure. This prevents the batlery from becoming 

loose during (light. 

7. Check the power cables between the arms antl the 

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to 

arrange repairs. 

8. For long term storage, please refer to the '9ntelligenl 

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines` and check the 

battery once a month to prevent the ballery cell from 

being damaged. 

9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells 

are at similar vollage levels and stay at the same level 

when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain 

voltage levels above 3.7V but any cell is 0.2V higher 

or lower than the others, contact DJI for analysis. You 

can also check the battery cell warning history. If any 

warning are reported, contact DJI. 

II. CheckingtheTransformetionSystem 

1. Check Ihe servomolor cables for wear. Also confirm 

that the connection points are still in good condition. 

2. Check the lead screws antl contact DJI Support 

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is 

tliscoveretl. Clean the leatl screws with WD-40 spray 

if they show signs of rust. 

3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation, 

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the 

servomotors worn. 

4. Afler the landing gear rises, check the lead screws 

and bearings. If any din or tlust is found, clean and 

grease the bearings. 

5. Cheok the lead sorews. If there is any scratohes, 

dents, or plastic particles underneath them. contact 

DJI Support to arrange repairs. 

III. Checking the Airerafl 

i. Confirm that all Ihe screws are still adequately 

lighlenetl. 

2. Check the aircrafl for breaks or damage. If there is 

any reason to believe Ihal deteclable damage might 

affect flight safety, consult wilh DJI Suppan. 

3. Check the carbon tubes of the arms for damage. 

4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. If they are 

loose, secure themwilh 502 qlue. 

5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the 

GPS module or arountl the antennas on the landing 

gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with 

conduclive material) Ihat might affecl or black the 

signal. 

6. Check that the righl and left landing gear rest at the 

same till angle.

IV. Checking the Motors 

1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have nol 

becomeloose. 

2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen 

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please 

replace the motors. Thls may be a sign that the 

bearings have been worn out. 

3. Detach the propellers antl starl the motors. Carefully 

examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the 

shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check 

for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any 

problems are detected, contact DJI Supporl to order 

replacement motors. 

4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap 

belween the motor and molor base is even. If nol 

contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 

5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor 

base are light and the plastic components around 

the motors are in good condition. If not please 

tighten the screws antl contact DJI to repair any 

broken plastic components. 

V. Checking the Propellers 

1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending, 

breakage or cracking on a propeller, tlo not use il. 

2. Atlach the propeller to the motor, turn on the aircrafl, 

and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from 

the aircraft and abserve the rotating propellers. If you 

can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when 

looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this 

propeller is damaged and should not be used. 

VI. Checking the IMU 

1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition of the IMU 

and perform an ativanced IMU calibration. Please 

place lhe aircrafl in a cool environment and on a 

flat, stable sudace (il the lantling gear is damaged, 

support the aircraft with four objects of equal 

height). Do not touch the craft during the calibration. 

2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise 

or vibration from the fan located on the front of the 

aircraft. If any irregularily is detected, replace the 

fan. 

VII. CheckingiheControlandVldeoTransmissionSystem 

1. Check the 4 anlennas on Ihe landing gear to ensure 

thal they are secure. Also check for any bentling or 

damage. 

2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for 

damage 

3. Check the neck strap for tlamage or wear, replace 

if necessary. 

VIII. Checking the Gimbal antl Camera 

1. The quick-mounl connector for the camera is a 

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal 

fails to inilialize when turned on,fails to work after 

initialization, or lails to transmil video to the app 

(whlle OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount 

conneclor may be worn. In this case, replace the 

rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the 

gimbal quick-mount. 

2. Check the metal contaots on the quick mount 

connector board, if any contact is benl, replace 

lhe quick-mount conneclor. 

3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount 

connector boartl, if there is any tlirt, rub it clean 

with an eraser.lf any conlacl pins are worn oulit 

should be replaced. 

4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize 

itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, 

contact DJI to arrange repairs. 

5. Lislen for any abnormal noise from the fan when 

the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual 

vibralion and Ihe fan shoultl be replaced. 

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 

1. Check the lens of the camera. It any dirt or residue 

is detected, gentlyclean the lens. 

2. Check for and remove objects that might block the 

sensors. 

3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely 

installed on the aircraft. 

4. Detach the propellers antl turn on the aircraft. Hold 

lhe aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface wilh rich 

patterns, under gootl lighting conditions. Change 

the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller 

and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an 

altitude value antl indicates that P-OPTI mode is 

active, the Vision Posilioning System should function 

normally.
