Maintenance Checklist

A) Pre-use Checklist:
Ensure that all components are attached properly.
Ensure that the controller antenna is tightly attached to correct port.
Ensure that the robot battery is firmly secured and the battery door completely closed.
Ensure that the tracks are securely fastened.
Ensure that the robot camera lenses are properly cleaned.
If the Avatar® II has been out of use for a long period of time, ensure that the
Controller and Robot batteries are fully charged.
Do a pre-run test drive in safe area to ensure signal does not have interference that
may compromise robot functionality during a mission.
B) Post-use Checklist:
Turn off the controller when the Avatar® II is not in use.
Take the battery out of the robot when the robot is not in use and store in a cool, dry
place.
Turn OFF the controller before removing the battery from the robot.
Doing so prevents accidental movement or damage to internal circuitry of the
Avatar® II.
After using the Avatar® II, it is necessary to perform routine basic maintenance.
Failure to perform maintenance may damage parts and increase wear.
o Ensure that all components are dry and properly wiped clean.
o If the robot is particularly dirty, spray the robot with garden hose at a low pressure
setting with water. Use hand soap to remove additional grime. Do not use a high
pressure hose, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air on the robot, as this may
damage the robot's water sealing gaskets.
o Check for any damaged or worn-out parts that need to be replaced or repaired
before the robot's next use.
