Safety Notes​

⚠️ Important Safety Information

Operational Safety:

  • Never run motor without propeller attached (causes unbalanced load)
  • Ensure proper cooling during extended operation
  • Monitor motor temperature - do not exceed 72°C for sustained periods
  • Inspect motor bearings regularly for wear
  • Replace damaged propellers immediately

Electrical Safety:

  • Verify correct ESC wiring before first power-up
  • Use only 12S LiPo batteries (44-50V range)
  • Do not exceed maximum continuous current (89A @ 180s)
  • Ensure proper battery discharge rates (C-rating)
  • Use ESCs rated for 12S operation with FOC capability

Installation Safety:

  • Follow torque specifications exactly
  • Never exceed maximum bolt depth (12.5mm for motor mount, 7.5mm/12mm for propeller mount)
  • Verify rotation direction before propeller installation
  • Maintain minimum 30mm clearance to frame
  • Use proper size mounting hardware (M5 for motor, M3/M4 for propeller)
  • Ensure dual bearing configuration is properly seated

Emergency Procedures:

  • If motor overheats (>72°C), land immediately
  • If unusual vibration occurs, stop operation
  • If motor makes grinding sounds, inspect bearings
  • Always have emergency landing plan
