5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 CLEANING:
Avoid exposing your Nova and it’s accessories to dust, sand and moisture
as these can damage the Nova. If the Nova is exposed to dust or sand, use
a soft brush to remove any visible particles.
5.2 ROTOR BLADE REPLACEMENT:
1.
Use the Included screwdriver to remove the screw
on the base of the Rotor Blade.
2.
Gently remove the Rotor Blade.
3.
Ensure that you are replacing the Rotor Blade
with the correct blade as there are two different
orientations of blades which are labelled A and B.
IF THE INCORRECT BLADE
IS USED IN THE INCORRECT
PLACEMENT THE NOVA WILL NOT
WORK.
Different colour Rotor Blades are used so it is easy to
dentify the front and rear of the Nova when flying. To
ensure that it is easy to fly the Nova make sure that
the front and rear blades are different colours.
4.
Gently push the replacement Rotor Blade onto the
rod ensuring that the screw hole on the Rotor hole
lines up with the hole on the rod.
Replace the screw, being careful not to over tighten. If the
screw will not fit into place, remove the screw and make
sure that the holes on both the Rotor Blade and the rod
are aligned.
5.3 MOTOR REPLACEMENT GUIDE
The Nova uses brushed motors similar to what is used in remote control
cars. These motors do need to be replaced from time to time to keep your
drone up in the air.
The following instructions will take you through how to replace your motors
when they are not working like new. It is recommended that before you
attempt to replace the motors you set up a clean level space.
5.4 ROTOR BLADE REPLACEMENT:
1.
Turn the Nova upside down and remove the 3
screws in the motor housing and the screw in the
LED window.
