VI. Maintenance
1. After each use in sea water, please soak the underwater robot in fresh
water for at least 1 hour and run it in fresh water for 10 minutes
2. Keep each port and connector dry and clean, always tighten the protective
cover if necessary. Salt and humidity will corrode the conductors of the
connectors. Please wash with running water, and use absorbent cotton or
handkerchief to wipe off the excess water.
3. After each use, check whether the propeller is entangled with seaweed,
fishing line and other foreign objects. Start the fuselage and check whether
the propeller can rotate normally.
4. Rinse the sand and gravel regularly, soak the underwater robot in fresh
water for at least one hour, and shake the underwater robot upside down to
drain the sand and gravel from the drainage holes until clear water flows out.
5. Check the buoyancy cable regularly. If it is found to be worn or broken,
please replace it in time.
6. Please store the underwater robot in a dry environment with a temperature
range of 5°C to 25°C.
7. If you need to store the machine for a long time, please keep the battery
level between 50%-60%. Please keep the battery level between 50% and 60% if
you charge it every 90 days. If the storage time is more than 90 days, you
must recharge it. If you don’t charge it in time, it may cause the battery to
be over-discharged and damaged. This kind of damage is unrecoverable.
