Spring Cleaning Tips from Rantizo
To ensure your drone is in top flying condition this spring, here’s a few items to address.
- Run clean water and Dawn® dish soap water through the tank, hoses and nozzles to flush the spray system of any winter dust buildup.
- Remove and clean inlet and outlet filters with warm, soapy water. Air-dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Wipe down the entire drone with clean water, antibacterial wipes, rubbing alcohol or simple degreasers to remove any materials that could damage vital components.
- Use an air blower to eliminate dust from hard to access places like motors, circuit boards, ESCs, heat sinks and vents.
- Gently clean your remote controller screens, plus wipe around joysticks and ports.
- Carefully remove any residue from the camera lens, supports, sensors, and gimbal.
Practicing a structured spring-cleaning routine will help maintain your drone’s functionality, improve its navigation, video quality, battery life, plus extend its lifespan.
