Maintenance And Troubleshooting; Changing Propeller Blades - Parrot ANAFI Ai User Manual

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This section describes basics procedures to maintain your drone and troubleshoot most issues you may
encounter using ANAFI Ai.
In addition, drone and controller resetting procedures can be useful before a change of operator or
operating structure.

Changing propeller blades

Propeller blades are delicate pieces of equipment and are instrumental for flight integrity. Even minor
contacts with external elements (walls, tree branches, etc.) can cause damage which may not be visible.
For safety, ANAFI Ai is programmed to cut its motors instantly in case of impact to one of its propeller
blades. Always control your drone carefully.
Tip: Replace propeller blades if they sustain even minor contacts with the environment. Replace propeller
blades every 50 flight hours, as part of scheduled maintenance.
ANAFI Ai propeller blades have been designed for instant, no tool replacement. Follow this procedure to
replace a propeller blade:
1. Unfold the arm that supports the blades which require replacement.
2. Hold the motor (round rotating part) of the propeller between your left thumb and index finger.
3. Unfold the blades and pinch the part which screws on the motor, between the blades, with your
right thumb and index.
A. blades: unscrew used A blades (left front & right
back) counterclockwise and screw new ones
clockwise.
Ensure that your blades respect the following diagram before setting up ANAFI Ai for its next flight.
Propeller blades and ANAFI Ai smart batteries can be purchased separately. Find an ANAFI Ai spare parts
