It’s important to note that while the FAA has not yet required a formal maintenance program for non-commercial UAS operators,
the notion that airworthiness and proper flight operation are the responsibility of the operator is very clearly articulated.

Specific requirements for ongoing inspections, maintenance, and repairs may not be required, there are many reasons why these
important pieces should be included in their operations. Safety and economic efficiency are two of the most important.

While the regulations and rules surrounding UAS operation are certain to change and adapt as the technology
advances, we can be sure that airworthiness and proper maintenance to maintain them and the logging of that
maintenance may become a vital part of any UAS use.

When performing any maintenance on an aircraft ensure the props and battery are removed.
If performing maintenance with props ON the aircraft the Battery MUST be removed.

INSPECTIONS
This guide provides the basics for inspections. It’s important to remember that aircraft/equipment inspections are only a single
component of flight safety.

Logging
Logging maintenance is an industry best-practice and in some locations is required for regulatory compliance.

Batteries
Battery cycles should be logged in a log book. If multiple batteries are in use, identify each battery for logging purposes.
Batteries may fail due to overheating, being dropped, or any number of other causes. Any battery that has bulged or distorted
should be immediately disposed of to avoid impending failure that may lead to mid-air power loss or explosion. Self-contained
batteries may not be repaired.

Dispose of batteries by placing the battery in a salt water bath for 24 hours.
Deliver to a recycling center to dispose of them safely.

FIRMWARE
Always install the latest Firmware/software for the aircraft and related components.
Failure to update aircraft, ST16S Ground Control Station, and Camera system may result in flight error/failure for which
Yuneec cannot be held responsible. Visit www.yuneec.com for more information.
Update OTA (Over The Air) application will auto-update all firmware and software applications when properly performed.

 PROPER TOOL FOR A PROPER JOB

Tools needed for Basic Maintenance:

#00 size Phillips screwdriver

#0 size Phillips screwdriver
JIS screwdriver #00
#1 size Phillips screwdriver
1.5mm Hex Driver [4in (102mm) shaft length]
2.0mm Hex Driver [4in (102mm) shaft length]
2.5mm Hex Driver [4in (102mm) shaft length]
Small pair of tweezers or hemostats

Bottle for bearing lubricant w/needle applicator or a syringe

Electronic contact cleaning spray – SAFE for plastic
Tube of extra-fine graphite lubricant (dry)
Silicone or Teflon spray lubricant
A quality Grease or Vaseline
Small tube of RTV silicone caulk

Flashlight
Magnifying glass
Microfiber lens cleaning cloth
Lint free cleaning cloth
Cotton swabs
Can of compressed air
Small Vacuum cleaner
Small medium bristle brush
Small Soft bristle brush
Spanner wrench for toggle switch nut
Lock tight (thread lock) for small screws

NOTE on silicone spray use

Because silicone spray is super slippery and minimally-reactive, it can lubricate almost anything. It works especially well on porous
items, such as plastic parts. Because silicone spray is water resistant, it can also protect items from moisture.
Silicone has its dark side:
The fact that it is a spray allows you to put it in places that greases cannot be applied, such as into mechanisms
(locks, clocks, etc.), bearings or electrical contact points (switches, rotatory controls).
DO NOT use silicone spray on electrical connections, switches, relays etc. Because it can act as an insulator.

Lock tight (thread lock) – a little is all that is needed, remember you will want to get it off at some point without stripping the screw/bolt or
damaging your equipment. More is NOT better.

 Note about JIS/Phillips screwdrivers, screws and Special Tools.

JIS, sometimes called a “Japanese Phillips screwdriver” is very similar to a Phillips screwdriver.
The difference in a nut shell:
The difference is the walls of the slots in the JIS screw head, which are parallel and which will
cause the regular style Phillips screwdriver to cam out of the screw as you’re trying to turn it.

Also, the JIS screw head slots have a shallower depth, preventing the taller head design of a
Phillips head screwdriver to properly grip the sides of the fastener.

A JIS screw is striking similarity in appearance to a Phillips screw. JIS screws are often damaged in removing
and installing because most people use a Phillips screwdriver on them.

JIS screws can (usually) be identified by a single dot, next to the screw slot or bolt head.

Toggle switches are attached with a nut that has two slotted indentations on opposite sides of the nut.
People usually used needle nose pliers to tighten or loosen this type of nut, but that can scratch and
damage the surface of the equipment and over tightening can damage the switch or ST16S.
Proper Tool is a spanner wrench to do a proper job and to prevent damage to the switch/equipment its
attached too.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Tips/Information: i.e. words of wisdom to the wise

DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHATS INVOLVED

OR IT’S OUTSIDE YOUR SKILL LEVEL
The Internal Frame for the Yuneec aircraft provides support for the drone.
Every part of the Yuneec H series aircraft relies on the internal frame as this component holds the battery, supports the arms and houses the
internal circuitry. If the Yuneec H series Internal frame is even slightly damaged from a crash it is strongly recommend it be replaced.
Even a small crack in the internal bracket may compromise the structural integrity of the drone during flight.

Brushless Motor Maintenance:

NOTE:
The brushless motor will NOT spin like a top if you give it a quick spin with your fingers as the rare earth magnets
strength and close tolerance to the stator prevent this – this is normal.

Brushless motors are almost maintenance free, so minimal care is required for long life. Keep the motor clean, free of dust and dirt, especially
the bearings. Dirty bearings wear quickly. Lubricate the bearings regularly with light oil. Do not immerse the motor in water, or solvents. Do
not bend the wires excessively and secure wires to prevent breakage due to fatigue from vibration. Always use Yuneec OEM balanced
propellers to reduce loads on bearings, to reduce noise, and reduce stress on the airframe.

Motor bearings are shielded, but not sealed, as a true contacting seal would provide too much friction (not to mention wear out very fast).

A drop of light oil on the front and rear bearings probably won't hurt... but most good bearings should hardly need re-lubrication.
It can be done with the motor in place – just remove motor Lens and LED to get to the motor lower bearing and invert the aircraft to lub.

RTV Silicone Caulk on electrical connections (plugs) to prevent separation from vibration or being bumped. A small
amount on an electrical connection will act as bond to hold it together, after it dries and is easily remove with a knife
when you need it removed. A piece of tape tends to dry and come loose.

H/H Pro – H+/H520 Parts

Typhoon H/H Pro arms are shorter than the H+/H520 and CAN NOT be inter-changed, same goes for the Propellers and Battery chargers.

And a B arm must be replaced with a B arm – angle/pitch of the arm will not work in place of the A arm.

Some parts are interchangeable i.e. body shell, legs etc. Do some asking, research and common sense or just get the right part, trying to save a
buck may cost you much more – injury of yourself or someone else, property damage or just loss of aircraft.

Re-installing screws – DO NOT force and try to cut new threads in the plastic as this will weaken/damage them.
Place the screw in the hole by hand and turn counter-clockwise until you feel the screw DROP into the threads then hand tighten a couple of
turns before using a tool.

DO NOT over-tighten screws etc as most everything is plastic and it will WEAKEN the plastic - if bumped or dropped when overtightened
may cause the joint to crack or break and may cost you more than you wish to spend if you have to send it off for repair at a center.

Electronic Components: Require Yuneec or an authorized repair center to install, due to Yuneec's proprietary software (which you do not
have access to) to calibrate or set-up in order to be used i.e. almost all Gimbal components, Transmitters/Relievers etc. So, do not spend the
money for these components as the repair center you send it off to for repair should have the component or inform them you have it and will
send it along.

Inspect solder joins for integrity. You can give the attaching wire a slight pull to see if the connection is well made, look for discoloration
(indicates a bad connection and is overheating). Look for angle hair in closely soldered wire connectors/connections (this is 1 or more wire
strand touching another connection), with this type of connection it could send a signal the wrong way or to two different places NO GOOD.
If unsure of a solder join apply FLUX and re-flow the solder. DO NOT solder without FLUX and use ONLY the minimum amount of heat
required. Too much heat and you can lift traces and damage a board.

Take pictures before dis-assembly of areas so you can get it back in the correct configuration/location or in the case of wires routed the proper
way.

 Yuneec Typhoon Arm -- Spring Clip Replacement
Introduction
The Arm Latch for the Yuneec Typhoon H+ Plus is the component essential to keeping the arm locked in the upward position. The Typhoon H+
Plus Arm Latch is located at the top of the arm under the word "press". It is a replaceable component that can be installed or uninstalled with
relative ease. To replace the Arm Latch simply remove the screw that holds it in place.
This guide provides directions on how to replace the spring clip (i.e. arm clip) on the arm attachment.

Tools
Tweezers
JIS #00 Screwdriver

Parts
1 YUNTYH123SVC Spring Clip.

Using a JIS #00 screwdriver, unscrew the 3mm screw.

If the screw is hard to remove once fully unscrewed, to remove the screw
flip the drone upside down and have the screw fall out.

For this step the arm must be lowered.

You will need a thin flat item to lift the tab above a dent. Remove the broken arm clip by pinching the metal top with a Tweezers
and then pull it out in an upward direction.

Reverse steps to complete replacement.

* NOTE: Some part numbers may need "SVC" add at the end if searching on the Internet - Its Yuneec's way of
saying the part needs to be done by a service center - this is not always TRUE.

DO NOT confuse Typhoon H or H Pro (H480) with the Typhoon H Plus

Some parts will work YES (ie body parts) but NOT all (ie Propellers or arms)

Yuneec's Part ID Naming:

YUN - is for YUNEEC
Next 5 characters are for the Model or Equipment
Cameras: CGO - CGO/CGO2 Camera, CGO3P - CGO3+ Camera, C23 - C23 Camera and so on
Aircraft: TYH - is the H/H Pro (H480), TYHP - is the H +, H520 - is the H520 and so on
TYHR - is the RealSense components - which apply to all the Typhoons
Next is a sequence number followed by an A or B in some cases i.e. arms and props
* NOTE: Some part numbers may need "SVC" add at the end if searching on the Internet - Its Yuneec's way of
saying the part needs to be done by a service center - this is not always TRUE.

DO NOT confuse Typhoon H or H Pro (H480) with the Typhoon H Plus

Some parts will work YES (ie body parts) but NOT all (ie Propellers or arms)

99% of the electronic components will need to be done by a service center as they will require Yuneec's
proprietary software to setup/calibrate in order to properly function/work with your system. i.e. Camera
components, transmitters/receivers etc.
