# INSPIRE 1 Maintenance Manual [V1.0] 2015.2



## To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, it is recommended that comprehensive 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.**Ch~~eldng** lha Battery

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop using it and discharge the battery to 

### 1 0% or below for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any reason. 

### 2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to ensure a more reliable connection. 

### 3. Check the metal battery power connectors for

damage. Ifthe connectors appear burnt, try to clear them. This can be done by inserting a piece of sandpaper {1mm thick) into the connectors to polish the metal. 

### 4. Checkthe contact pins in the battery compartment to

ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able to establish easy contact with the battery connectors and should not

### be bent. 

### 5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear burnt, polish them with sandpaper. Ifthere 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 battery from becoming loose during flight. 7. Check the power cables between the arms and the

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 

### 8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the battery once a month to prevent the battery call from being damaged. 

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

are at similarvoltage levels and stayatthe same laval when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain voltage levels above 3.7V but any call is O.'lV higher or lower than theothers, contact DJI for analysis. You can also check the battery cell warning history. If any warning are reported, contact DJI. II.**Ch~~eldng** lhaTransformationSystem 1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm

thatthe connection pointsare still in good condition. 

### 2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is discovered. Clean the lead screws with WD-40 spray iftheyshowsignsof rust. 

### 3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation,

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the servomotors

### worn. 4. After the landing gear rises, check the lead screws

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and greasethe bearings. 

### 5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches,

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact DJISupporttoarrange repairs.



### Ill. Checking theAircraft 1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately

tightened. 

### 2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. Ifthere is

any reason to believethat detectable damage might affectflight safety, consultwith DJI Support. 

### 3. Checkthe carbon tubes ofthearms for damage. 

### 4. Checkthe dampersonthe landing gears. Ifthey are loose, securethemwith 

### 502 glue. 

### 5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the GPS module or around the antennas on the landing gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with conductive material) that might affect or block the signal. 

### 6. Checkthat the right and left landing gear rest at the

sametilt angle.

### the Motors 

### 1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not

become loose. 2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please replace the motors. This may be a sign that the bearings have been worn out. 3. Detachthe propellers and startthe 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 Supporttoorder replacement motors. 4. Checkfor deformities by confirming that the gap between the motor and motor base is even. If not contact DJISupportto order replacement motors. 5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor base are tight and the plastic components around the motors are in good condition. If not please tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any broken plastic components.



## v. Checking the Propellers 1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending,

breakage orcracking on a propeller, donot use it. 2. Attach the propellerto the motor, turn on the aircraft, and place itonthe ground. Stand 1 meter away from the aircraft and observethe roteting propellers. Ifyou can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this propeller is damagedandshould not be used.

VI. Checkingthe IMU 

### 1. Open DJIPilot app to checkthe condition 

### ofthe IMU

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a flat, stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, support the aircraft with four objects of equal height). Do nottouchthe craft duringthe calibration. 2. Turn on the aircraftand listenfor anyabnormal noise

orvibration from the fan located on the front of the aircraft. If any irragularity is detected, replace the fan.

VII. Checking

### theControland

### VIdeo lnlnarnlsalon

### System 1 . Checkthe 4 antennas onthe landing geartoensure

thatthey are secure. Also checkfor any bending or damage. 2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for

damage 3. Checkthe neck strap for damage orwear, replace

if necessary. VIII. CheckingtheGimbal andCamara 1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app (while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount connector may be worn. In this case, replace the rubber mat, circuit board, and/orconnector on the gimbal quick-mount. 2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount connector board, if any contact is bent, replace the quick-mountconnector. 3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount connector board, if there is any dirt, rub it clean with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it should be replaced. 4. Confirm that the gimbal is abletoproperlystabilize itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, contact DJI toarrange repairs. 5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when the gimbal isturned on. This may indicate unusual vibration and thefan should be replaced.

IX. Checking

### theVlalon Poaltlonlng Syatem 1 . Checkthe lens 

### of the camera. If any dirt or residue

is detected, gentlyclean the lens. 2. Check for and remove objects that might block the

sensors. 3. EnsurethattheVision Positioning System is securely

installed on the aircraft. 4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold

the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller and check the DJI Pilot app. Ifthe app displays an altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is active, theVision Positioning System should function normally.
