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 reset 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/damaged A blades (Front
