6. Operating Instructions

Before operating the JIS LV20, ensure all pre-flight checks are completed and you are familiar with your flight controller's specific operating procedures.

1. Pre-Flight Checks:
   • Verify all screws and connections are tight and secure.
   • Inspect propellers for any damage.
   • Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely connected via the ACES plug.
   • Check the pesticide or granule tank for proper installation and fill level.
   • Confirm all sensors (obstacle avoidance, terrain) are clean and functioning.
   • Perform a system check on your flight controller (V9 or K++) and remote control.
2. Filling the Tank:
   • For spraying, fill the 20L pesticide tank with the desired liquid. The 44mm inlet facilitates easy filling with a fuel gun. Ensure the double filter is in place to prevent clogs.
   • For spreading, replace the pesticide tank with the 40L granule tank and fill with granules.
3. Flight Operation:
   • Place the drone on a flat, open surface, clear of obstacles.
   • Power on the remote control, then the drone.
   • Follow your flight controller's manual for calibration and flight mode selection.
   • Initiate takeoff and perform spraying/spreading operations according to your mission plan.
   • Monitor battery levels and payload distribution during flight.
4. Landing:
   • Return the drone to the designated landing area.
   • Execute a controlled landing, ensuring a smooth touchdown.
   • Power off the drone, then the remote control.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliable performance of your JIS LV20 drone.

1. After Each Flight:
