Cloud DSS PROPELLER SYSTEM

Your ClOUD DSS propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from time to time for optimal
flight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage to your ClOUD DSS propeller or propeller
connecting rods.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If your ClOUD DSS loses its ability to fly correctly, please inspect the propeller system carefully for the following common
issues:

1. Replacing Connecting Rod and Direction Connecting Rod: The connecting rod is a small “handcuff” style device that
stabilizes the propellers. There are two connecting rods and two direction connecting rods on the propeller. Please see
Diagram 1.
If a connecting rod or direction rod is broken or missing simply replace it by “peeling” off the existing broken unit and
replacing it with a new one. You may have to use slight pressure when reattaching both ends of the new connecting rod.
Make sure that the new connecting rod is secured and locked in place. See Diagram 2. For changing connecting rod, make
sure there is no damage to the actual blade or arm that holds the connecting rod in place. If there is you must replace the
entire blade system.

2. Replacing Propeller: The propeller is subject to damage as you learn to properly fly and control your ClOUD DSS. If after a
crash your helicopter has loss of control or flies erratically you should carefully inspect your entire propeller system for any
sign of damage. Most common are: cracked or chipped blade, broken “connecting rod”, frozen balance bar (this is when the
balancing bar and blade are jammed and can not move freely up and down). To replace the propeller blades follow

diagrams 3 through 4.

3. Replacing Tail Propeller Blade: If after a crash your helicopter tail propeller blade is damaged, please replace it follow
diagrams 5 through 6.

4. Interchanging the Head: Your ClOUD DSS package includes a Training head. It is highly recommended for users who are
beginners to outdoor helicopters to practice initially with the Training head. It has been engineered using a more durable
material and is more likely to withstand crashes. Please changing the head follow diagrams 7 throught 10.
