Safety Guidelines

•   If you are a beginner ,it is recommended to finish the training courses ,or get assistance from veteran before flying, and supervised by a veteran during the flight.

•   Do not disassemble any module or disconnect any plug when the power is on.

•   Please see that all parts and components are intact , and well installed and that

  those aging or broken are replaced promptly before each flight. All devices should be sufficiently charged. When the battery gets low during operation, you should return the aircraft immediately and replace the battery.

•   For safety purposes, it is advisable to remove all propellers before each flight or after firmware update until you have a test, inspect the remote control devices, motors and other modules and ensure everything is in order.

•   Please charge the battery of the remote controller or aircraft when it falls to 20% to avoid damage to the device caused by overdischarge of the battery stored at a low charge state for a long time. By the same token, please keep the battery at 40%-60% when storing an idle aircraft. The storage area should be dry, wellventilated and clean.

•   NEVER install/remove any module or insert/extract any circuit while the power is on.

•   Please ensure that the aircraft does not carry a load beyond the safe takeoff weight specified in this User Manual. Overload, a safety hazard, is NEVER allowed.

•   Never take human bodies or animals, whether still or moving, or other hazardous objects as obstacles in the obstacle avoidance experiment.

•   If the radar modules and binocular vision system are unable to work properly in the operating environment, the aircraft will be unable to avoid obstacles during Return to Home (RTH). All that can be adjusted is the flight speed and altitude, as long as the remote controller is still connected.

•   After landing, stop the motors, power off the aircraft, and turn off the remote controller. Otherwise, the aircraft may enter failsafe RTH automatically due to remote controller signal loss.

  3

•   Speed limit≤15m/s, distance limit≤1000m, it is recommended that the flight height be 2.5m~3.5m from the top of the plant, please operate correctly within the safety limit.

•   MOS smart battery is required.

•   Keep the product away from heat to prevent damage to the electronic component and

  other parts or fire incidents.

•   For long-term storage or long-distance transportation, please remove the liquid tank from

  the aircraft and empty it, and store the aircraft in a cool, dry place.

•   Recommended storage temperature (when the spray tank, flow meter, pumps, and hoses

  are empty): between 10° and 40° C.

•   Pay attention to environmental protection when preparing and spraying pesticides. It is

  prohibited to pollute rivers and drinking water sources.

•   Fly at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. DO NOT fly above or near

  large crowds.

•   Make sure that your operations do not violate any applicable laws or regulations, and that

  you have obtained all appropriate prior authorizations. Consult the relevant government agency or authority, or your lawyer before flight to ensure you comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

Flowmeter calibration

Enter Agri Assistant > Start > > >Parameters Settings >Spay, slide to the bottom, click Flowmeter Calibration and follow the steps below:
1 Pour about 15L of water to tank;
2 Turn on the water pump, until the water comes out ,then off the pump immediately;

3 Prepare two empty pails, weigh and record them, and place the two pails under the two centrifugal nozzles;

26

4 Click on the flow meter to calibrate, stop it before finishing the water spray;
5 Measure the weight of each pail one by one, subtract the net weight of the pail, and input the amount to channel 1 and channel 2 respectively (Facing the tail, channel 1 on the left and channel 2 on the right), then click OK.

Weight Calibration

Enter Agri Assistant > Start > > >Seed Manager > weight calibration. First, empty the tank, and click Peeling Calibration. It is recommended to add 15L water, click Weight Calibration and enter the known weight (1L=1000g), and then return to the operation screen to check the weight data, if it is 15kg, the calibration is successful.

*Note: The weighing objects should ≥10kg

Maintenance

Clean the device timely after each operation to prolong life-span. Follow the cleaning steps: Detergent: soapy water or laundry powder.
1Fill the tank with soapy water or the laundry powder. Start spraying to clean pesticide residues in the spraying system.

2Fill the tank with clean water and start spraying to wash off residual soapy water or the laundry powder in the spraying system. Place the empty tank in the aircraft and start spraying until all pipes are drained, avoiding damage to other devices during transportation or storage.
3Wipe the surface of the aircraft to remove potion stains and mud. Empty the tank and drain the pipes if the aircraft needs to be transferred or will not be used for an extended period.

Wear and tear as well as malfunctions in/of the device could occur as a result of ordinary use.

44

Regular maintenance ensures that the device performs at its best in future operations with fewer malfunctions and improved efficiency. Maintenance steps are as follows:
A. Drone frame
1Check if any screw on the frame is loosening or missing.

2Check if the components including landing gears, fuselage, arms, motors and antennas are in good condition.
3Check if the connectors of each component are firmly in position, whether they have oxidized, and if the battery plug is deformed.

4Check breakages and cracks on the frame and components. Check if the beams of the aircraft are bent out of shape or broken, if the fasteners joining the arms and motors together are secure, if the arms are bent and twisted, or if the locking handle is intact.
5Clean the aircraft regularly and thoroughly, especially those hard-to-clean spots including the liquid tank socket and battery plug on the frame.

B. Propulsion System

(1) Propellers
1Check if propeller clamps are cracked or deformed and if the blades are loosening, damaged, bent out of shape or softened.
2Check if the blades and clamps are properly joined.
3Check if the setscrews holding the clamps and motors are missing or loosening.
4Wipe the propellers clean with a damp rag.
(2) Motors
1Remove the propellers and clean the motors with an air blow gun.
2Rotate the motors and check whether the bearings wobble or make noise.
3Check if the enameled wires of motors are broken.
4Gently rock the motors and see if they are firmly fixed on the motor mounts.

5%) due to chemical corrosion, thick pesticides, replacement of peristaltic pump parts, etc. Calibration needs to be done with clean water or pesticides used in operation. In case the health index remains unusual after calibration, check whether the peristaltic pump tubes or spray tubes are in good condition. Replace them in time if they shrivel, lose their elasticity or are out of shape.
