REGULAR MAINTENANCE
After each deployment, it is important to perform some
basic maintenance:
1. Always re-insert the activation plate in the robot and
turn the OCU off.
2. Keep the system clean of dust and debris.
3. Ensure the system is fully dry before charging or
storing.
4. Inspect the robot for wear on its tail, wheels, and
antennas.
a. Wheels – If the wheels are loose, tighten the nut
with a 5/16” nut driver. The wheels should spin
freely. Inspect the wheels for wear, rips, or tears.
b. Tail – If the tail is loose, use a 3/32” hex driver to
tighten the bolts holding the tail. Tighten until
the tail just begins to deform under the screw
pressure. Do not over-tighten.
c. Antennas – Visually inspect for scufng or cracking.
If the wire is exposed or if the antennas have been
severely kinked, antennas should to be replaced.
The antennas should stand nearly vertical.
d. If any of the above are missing and/or damaged,
please contact support@reconrobotics.com to
arrange for service.
5. Inspect the OCU for wear.
a. Antennas – Ensure that the antenna cover is not
dented or damaged.
b. Joystick – Ensure that the joystick travels for the full
range of motion and returns to the center when
released.
c. Screen – Check for scratches and other damage
to the screen.
d. If any of the above are damaged, please contact
support@reconrobotics.com to arrange for service.
6. Recharge the robot and OCU as described on page
13-14.

DISASSEMBLE YOUR ROBOT OR OCU. Service is available from the
manufacturer or regional service centers only. Disassembly and/or
modication of the product or its software and rmware will void your
