Maintenance Guide for H520 Revised version 9.14.
Dear customer / pilot Yuneec recommends integrating this document into the Company's policies / procedures / operations documentation. Maintenance is divided into two categories, preventive and targeted maintenance. Preventive maintenance is planned and performed by the user according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Targeted Maintenance is a required maintenance or part replacement as per Yuneec's guidelines, which must be performed at specified intervals.
INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT This guide contains the basics for inspection. However, you should keep in mind that the inspection of the unmanned aircraft is only a small part of flight safety. Always be aware of weather conditions, airspace, flight restrictions and the area in which the unmanned aircraft will be present. Make sure that there are no people, land or hazards/objects on the ground in the affected areas that could be damaged during flight operations.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ( before flying / everytime) Yuneec recommends that you take off and land on clean, level ground surfaces. Dust, dirt, sand, leaves, and other light particles can cause Foreign Object Damage (FOD), shortening operating time and causing sudden aircraft failure during flight operations. Take off and land on a clean surface, e.g. on a clean concrete, wood or plastic surface or on a dry textile. For take-off and landing, a clean take-off and landing space should be used.
MAINTENANCE after 25 flying hours (about 15 hours per cycle) Aircraft Remove dust and dirt particles from the gimbal vibration dampers. Make sure that: the arm lock is working properly; the leading engine cable sleeve in the flight frame has no signs of wear. Use compressed air spray to remove dirt and dust particles from the engines. Turn the motors by hand and check that there are no solid particles of dirt in the interior, and that all propellers turn smoothly.
MAINTENANCE after 100 flying hours (about 45 hours per cycle) Aircraft Check the clearance by lifting each motor and applying slight pressure to the side. Check the motors for signs of movement (1). Make sure that: the ventilation areas are free of dirt and dust particles; the motor cable sleeve leading into the flight frame has no signs of wear; the propellers have no cracks, signs of stress or corrosion holes; the cooling fan turns smoothly (1); the arm lock is working properly; adjust if necessary.
ANNUAL AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE (Pilot / Owner) Aircraft Perform the following steps in the recommended 100-flight maintenance procedure: Check the housing for cracks / breakages. Check all feet and connections for cracks and check the connection points. Make sure all connections are in good condition. Swap out the landing pads on the feet. Replace the gimbal vibration dampers. Replace the safety pins of the gimbal vibration dampers. Lubricate the gimbal attachment points. Replace the arm locks and springs.
ANNUAL AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE (Authorized Service) ATTENTION: The following work must be carried out by a specialist workshop or an authorized branch of Yuneec! Aircraft The following work/inspection will be done by your specialist workshop Inspection in the H520 remove any dirt and dust particles. Inspect the motherboard for cracks or fractures. Remove dust and dirt particles from the GPS module.
PARTS EXCHANGE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER 20 Flights Propeller 100 Flights Landing pads/feet 200 Flights Replace the battery every 200-250 cycles. The battery cycles should be logged in the aircraft's log book. If multiple batteries are used, give each battery a unique designation for errorfree logging. Dispose of batteries properly, according to the legal regulations of your country. Deliver the batteries to a recycling center.
CHECKLIST FOR INSPECTION Owner: Date: Tested unit: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Serial number Firmware has been updated to current version. Nuts and tilting units of the ST16S have been tested. The motor shafts and propellers are in good condition. The battery packs are properly installed and snap into place. The landing gear is in a good condition, and is properly extended and retracted. The camera has been installed and is in good condition. The camera rails are in good condition.
USE OF UPDATEPILOT UpdatePilot ™ (installed on the ST16S Multifunction Display) can be used to update the AutoPilot, Gimbal, H520 Camera Firmware and DataPilot ™ application, and even the UpdatePilot ™ application itself. Link the ST16S to a Wi-Fi network. Insert a fully charged battery into the H520. The UpdatePilot application does not update the firmware when the battery level is less than 50%. Open DataPilot ™ and link the application to the aircraft / camera.
After UpdatePilot ™ has linked to the camera, the application displays the firmware/components that are not up to date. UpdatePilot ™ can take some time to update all components. We ask you to be patient while the software downloads the necessary firmware and software updates. When the download/update process is complete, the application alerts you by changing its background color. Close UpdatePilot ™, restart the Hexacopter H520 and recalibrate it before the next flight. (Recalibration is not mandatory.
