Cautions and Warnings

Every member of the RangePro X8 family of drones is a sophisticated UAV. Drone operation can be dangerous. 
This section covers various cautions and warnings that apply both to various parts of the aircraft, and to the 
environment (which includes other people) around your fly zone.

In addition, heed the following cautions and warnings when operating or servicing the drone.

Motors and Propellers

The motors and rotating propellers of the aircraft can cause serious injury to yourself and others. Obey the fol-
lowing cautions and warnings for your safety and the safety of others:

To avoid the risk of personal injury, DO NOT fly the RangePro X8 above or near 
large crowds.

To avoid the risk of personal injury, be aware of the sharp edges of the propellers 
during pre-flight setup or when replacing the propellers. Wear gloves or take other 
protective measures when touching the propellers.

Stay away from rotating propellers and motors. 

Keep foreign objects away from rotating motors and propellers.

Burn risk: Motors may be hot after a flight. Do not touch or handle the motors until 
they have cooled down after a flight.

To avoid damaging the RangePro X8:

DO NOT

 attempt to modify the structure of the motors.

DO NOT

 stop the motors in mid-flight.

DO NOT

 use aged, chipped or broken propellers. 

DO NOT

 turn the motors on when propellers are mounted and there are other people 

or animals in the immediate vicinity.

Verify

 that the motors are securely mounted and rotating smoothly.

Verify

 that the propellers and frame arms are properly positioned for flight.

Verify

 that the propellers are in good condition and securely tightened and mounted 

to prevent them from falling off the motors.

Verify

 there is nothing obstructing the motors before activating them.
