Long exposure to sub-zero temperature will reduce the strength of the permanent magnets of the motor and result in reduced thrust. • Never use chemicals (alcohol, solvents, and acids) on any of the system components. • Use a Vinyl UV protector periodically on the power cables to avoid excessive sun damage. • Periodically check for loose connections and/or excessive corrosion.
