Installation Steps

Parts Introduction

Flow Chart

Steps

Step 1：Install landing gear

1. Open the package, take out the drone frames , the landing gear and crossbar components as well as the mountings and screws.
2. Remove the front and rear upper and lower covers to facilitate the turn over the frame and subsequent assembly.
3. Insert the mounts into both ends of the bent legs.
4. Turn the frame over, then install the bent legs on the frame, note the arrow to head. Use M420 screws to fasten, and then use M412 screws to fix the mounting seat .Do not fasten to facilitate the frame leveling.
5. After installing the landing gear on both sides, install the four tee fixings according to the positioning marks on the bent legs, and pay attention to the interface horizontally inward.
6. Insert the front crossbar F (351mm) and the rear crossbar B (322mm) into the tee fittings, and fasten them with M4*30 half-thread screws.
7. Restore the receiver antenna, remove the tape, and fix the antenna with M4*10 cylindrical screws.
8. After the landing gear is installed, press the frame to level the drone, and then tighten the mounting seat of the landing gear.

Step 2：Install motor set and drone arms
Tips
Pay attention to each arm label and motor code, clockwise from the head is M1-M4 in turn, install CCW at M1 and M3 , and install CW at M2 and M4.
The M1 and M2 arms with the motor cable, But the M3 and M4 arms will through the water pipe and the nozzle adapter cable first, and then threaded into the motor cables, and then lightly lock them to avoid falling off.
*It is recommended to install the propeller when test the aircraft. Note that the CCW and CW motor are respectively adapted to the corresponding paddles.

1. Take one of CW and one of CCW, and pass the nozzle adapter cable and water pipe through the motor head, and the other two motors no need.
2. Insert the 4 motor sets and cables into the carbon tube arm, and fix them with the screws on the motor base, do not tighten them for adjusting later.
3. Install the spacer on the arm head swivel position .
4. Remove the wire buckle and the cable-passing seal.
5. Put the arm with the nozzle adapter cable, the water pipe into the rear frame folder, and the arm without the water pipe into the front frame folder, then use the φ8M678 lock nut to penetrate from the upper part. The lower M6*12  pair lock screws need to be glued (the glue has been supplied as standard) ( the cable faces forward and the water pipe faces backward).
