4. Installation Guide
Installing the Autel EVO 2 Series Propeller Guards is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for secure attachment:
- Step 1: Install through Landing Legs
Carefully slide each propeller guard through the corresponding landing leg of the drone. Ensure the guard is oriented correctly for its respective motor arm (front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right). - Step 2: Secure the Locking Lever
Once the guard is positioned, engage the simple yet secure locking mechanism. Ensure it clicks into place firmly to prevent accidental detachment during flight. - Step 3: Connect the Prop Guards

5. Usage and Safety
The primary purpose of the Autel Robotics EVO 2 Series Propeller Guards is to improve flight safety. They act as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of propeller damage from minor collisions and preventing propellers from coming into contact with people or objects. While they offer significant protection, always exercise caution and maintain safe flying practices.
- Always ensure guards are securely attached before flight.
- Do not rely solely on propeller guards for safety; maintain visual line of sight and avoid flying in overly confined or hazardous environments.
- Propeller guards may slightly affect flight performance or battery life due to added weight and air resistance.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your propeller guards, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the guards with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the guards for any signs of cracks, bends, or damage, especially after any impact. Damaged guards should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection.
- Storage: Store the propeller guards in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your propeller guards, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Guards are difficult to install or remove. | Tight fit; incorrect alignment. | Ensure correct orientation for each leg. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force. Practice may improve ease of installation/removal. |
| Guards feel loose after installation. | Locking mechanism not fully engaged. | Ensure the locking lever clicks firmly into place. Re-install if necessary. |
| Drone performance seems affected. | Added weight/air resistance. | This is normal. The effect is usually minor. Ensure guards are clean and not obstructing propellers. |
