At Sky Drones Inc., your go-to agriculture drone distributor in Canada, we offer top-tier DJI drones, as well as a range of parts and services at our Lethbridge and Taber offices. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to maintain your drones to keep them in peak condition.
In this post we will discuss:
- Spinner disk cleaning
- Draining liquid before storage
- Propulsion motor maintenance
- Delivery pump care
- Maintaining the spreader system
- Storing batteries
Spinner Disk Cleaning
The spinner disk is crucial for the even distribution of liquids. After using sticky or powdered agents, it’s recommended to clean the centrifugal spinner disk to prevent clogging and dripping. Regular cleaning of the spinner disk helps maintain optimal performance. Watch the step-by-step tutorial below for more information on how to access the spinner disk. After it’s been removed, use clear water to remove chemical buildup. Make sure to avoid using abrasive tools that might damage the disk’s surface. A clean paintbrush is a good tool for this task. Next, you can remove the centrifugal motor cover and clean both the cover and the motor itself. Check for wear and melting. If you notice either, be sure to visit our Lethbridge After-Sales center for repair or a new part.
Draining Liquid Before Storage
Leaving chemicals or liquid inside your drone’s tanks during long-term storage can cause damage to both the internal components and the drone itself. It is essential to fully drain the system before storing it, especially if the drone will be stored at lower temperatures. This will help prevent freezing in the pipes and drone components, ensuring that your drone is ready for the next use. Watch the official DJI tutorial on this essential practice.
Propulsion Motor Maintenance
The propulsion motors are the heart of your drone’s flight system. Regularly checking them for wear and tear is important to avoid potential failures mid-operation as well as making sure the propellers are secured tightly. Use a damp cloth to wipe the accumulated chemical on the motor and let the motor dry naturally before powering the drone on. This will keep your drone’s flight stable and extend the life of the motors. Watch the official DJI tutorial here below.
Delivery Pump Care
The delivery pump ensures the smooth flow of liquids from the tanks to the sprayers. Follow along with this video to learn how to disassemble, maintain, and reassemble the delivery pump system. After following the steps to correctly disassemble the system, clean the impeller, isolator, and pump housing with clean water. Check these parts for wear and shaft breaks. After cleaning, replace the motor and isolator sealing rings. When reassembling, check for thread slipping and replace if necessary.

Spreader System Cleaning
As routine maintenance, be sure to clean your spreader system. Learn how to disassemble the system and access the parts that need to be cleaned. Clean the spinner disk, large gear, rubber ring, flange bearing, nut, and upper spindle plate with clear water and a brush. Wipe the main body of the spreader clean with a damp cloth without dripping water into the plug. Then, keep watching the linked video to learn how to reassemble the system.
Storing Batteries Safely
Proper battery storage is essential to avoid damage and extend battery life. To store for a long time, ensure the storage place is dry, clean, and uncluttered. Maintain a spacing of 0.5-0.8 meters between each battery to prevent potential hazards. Optimal long-term humid regions, extra precautions should be taken.
