Maintenance
Maintenance consists of user maintenance activities, and propeller replacement.
All other activities require factory maintenance from TerraView or an Authorized TerraView Service Center.
These include activities such as arm replacement, correcting unexpected flight characteristics, motor or bearing
replacement, power issues, and connectivity issues.

User Maintenance Activities
The following should be performed by the user before and after every flight:
•
Keep it clean: The proper way to clean your RangePro X8 is to use a damp cloth to wipe down the cover and
remove any debris from the visible carbon fiber components. Do NOT remove any components for cleaning.
Store in a temperate and dry place. You can also use a can of compressed air to ensure there is no debris in the
motors.
•
Inspect for damage to propellers, loose screws, and other unusual indications.
•
Replace damaged propellers.
•
Replace broken landing gear.
•
Tighten loose propeller mounts.
•
Tighten loose propeller screws (use LOCTITE® 243 blue threadlocker or equivalent).
•
Before every flight, rotate the motors while listening for noticeable noise. If you hear noise, the motors may
need servicing. Do not fly if there is noticeable noise in a motor.
Replace motors every 800 to 1000 hours or as needed. If a motor is making noise, contact us at
.
Replacing a Pair of Propellers
Replacing damaged propellers is a very important safety procedure. Consult your model's user manual for
instructions on how to replace the propellers on your aircraft.
Each pair of propellers is balanced, so if one is damaged, both propellers in the pair must
be replaced.
