6 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the drone
It is important to clean the robot after a flight in a dusty or dirty environment. To do so, use compressed air
from an air blow gun or gas duster can. If necessary, Isopropanol alcohol can be used to clean the cage and
any surface of the robot. Apply gently with a toothbrush or a rag.
Avoid the use of water, as this may damage the electronics.
LED lights
Take special care of the onboard lighting system. Accumulated d will
reduce the lighting capacity of Elios.
Motors
Pay special attention to the motors. Dust or other particles may damage the motors if allowed to build up
inside. Use Compressed air to remove all dust and particles from the motors, check regularly for build up in
between flights, especially in a metallic dust environment, as this will stick to the magnets of the motor.
If you blow compressed air on the motors, please wear gloves and hold the
corresponding propeller. The air flow may make the propeller spin.
6.2 Changing a Propeller
A damaged or incorrectly installed propeller may seriously damage the aircraft.
Propellers should be changed when they are damaged. Damage is typically caused by large items entering
the cage, but dust and small particles will also abrade the propellers in the long term.
Unscrew the nut with the screw driver provided in the tool kit, turn counter clockwise to loosen.
Replace the propeller. Be careful, the robot has two kinds of propellers. Propeller 5040R shall be
placed on the front left and bottom right motors, propeller 5040 on the front right and bottom left
Elios is in an upright orientation. Do not use
pliers or other tools to hold the rotor. It might bend the motor shaft. Gloves should be used instead.
Screw on and tighten a new motor nut. Elios is shipped with a Dynamometric screwdriver which is
pre-set to the correct torque of 1.4Nm. Using this tool eliminates the risk of overtightening the motor
nuts and damaging the threaded motor shafts.
Note: If correctly tightened the propeller should not have any play on the motor shaft, nor should it be possible
to rotate the propeller in relation to the motor shaft. An insufficiently tightened nut can cause a crash and
might result in serious damage to the robot and injure people or infrastructure.
