- Check bearing smoothness (manual rotation)
- Clean motor exterior with compressed air
- Inspect propeller for wear or damage
Every 50 Flight Hours:
- Detailed bearing inspection
- Shaft runout measurement
- Electrical connection integrity check
- Replace propeller if worn
- Document maintenance in flight log
Signs Requiring Immediate Inspection:
- Unusual vibration during operation
- Increased motor temperature (>121°C)
- Grinding or scraping sounds
- Reduced thrust output
- Propeller wobble
Bearing Replacement
Bearing Specifications:
- Type: Single 61803- 2z Sealed
- Service Interval: 100-150 flight hours (typical)
- Replacement Procedure: Contact technical support or refer to motor maintenance procedures
Signs of Bearing Wear:
- Grinding or rattling sounds
- Increased vibration
- Shaft play or wobble

- Increased operating temperature
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 121°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 (12.69A @ 180s)
- Ensure proper battery discharge rates (C-rating)
Installation Safety:
- Follow torque specifications exactly
- Never exceed maximum bolt depth (7.5mm for motor mount and 8mm for propeller mount)
- Verify rotation direction before propeller installation
- Maintain adequate clearance to frame
- Use proper size mounting hardware (M4)
Emergency Procedures:
- If motor overheats (>121°C), land immediately
- If unusual vibration occurs, stop operation
- If motor makes grinding sounds, inspect bearings
- Always have emergency landing plan
